Recently, the General Office of the Jiangxi Provincial People’s Government issued the “Several Measures on Further Enhancing the Endogenous Driving Force of Jiangxi’s Old Revolutionary Base Areas to Accelerate Revitalization and Development” (hereinafter referred to as the “Measures”), anchoring the goal of basically achieving socialist modernization in Jiangxi’s old revolutionary base areas alongside the rest of the country by 2035, focusing on economic and social development, striving to enhance endogenous driving forces, and accelerating the creation of a high-quality development highland in the old revolutionary base areas.
The “Measures” propose to continuously improve the level of openness. Accelerate the replication and promotion of institutional innovation achievements from the Free Trade Zone and Hainan Free Trade Port, and steadily advance institutional openness. Strengthen and optimize Ganzhou International Land Port, and stably operate China-Europe (Asia) freight trains and rail-sea intermodal trains. Enhance the national logistics hub functions of Ganzhou, Yingtan, and Pingxiang, and support the establishment of Bonded Logistics Centers (Type B) in eligible old revolutionary base areas. Support old revolutionary base areas in carrying out reforms to align with the rules and regulations of developed regions based on actual conditions, and delegate some provincial-level economic and social management powers in accordance with laws and regulations. Support the expansion and adjustment of development zones in eligible old revolutionary base areas.
The “Measures” propose to build a comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network. Adhere to the principle of being moderately ahead but not excessively ahead, and support the priority inclusion of major projects with mature conditions in old revolutionary base areas into relevant special plans.

Implement a new round of rural road improvement actions. Advance projects such as the third-phase expansion and renovation of Ganzhou Golden Airport and the expansion and renovation of Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport, and build a number of general airports.
