It incorporates the macro-economic development at three different levels: city-cluster level, national and international levels. The purpose of these three strategies are to build a full-scale middle income society, adjust industry structure and transform the way production, setup the driving force for the industry to “go abroad”, so as to form a new regional development paradigm that is inter-connected, inter-dependent, and include eastern, central and western part of China. Mr Zhang will introduce these three major national strategies, their associated logistics system development, their requirements on the development of waterborne transportation system, and what waterborne transportation can do to support these three major national strategies. The focus of this introduction will be on the current status and problems of container transportation system, including inland waterway, multimodal rail, port and maritime transportation system associate with the OBOR initiatives. |
