[국제]The new city ‘Shiong’an’ dreamed of by ‘The Emperor Shi Huang’… A long-term rule?

[앵커]

Chinese President Xi Jinping, who has virtually confirmed his third term, continues to say that he is aiming for a long term in office for more than 10 years.

The project to build a new city in Xiong’an, a ‘Xi Jinping Special Zone’, which is targeted to be completed in 2035, is also suggested as a basis, but attention is focused on the background as there is no mention of it at this time of the party congress.

A large-scale civil engineering work is in full swing on a deserted field outside Baoding City, Hebei Province, China.

This is the ‘Xion’an New District’ under construction with the aim of dispersing the ‘non-capital functions’ of Beijing, which is saturated.

As a new city project following Deng Xiaoping’s Shenzhen and Jiang Zemin’s Pudong, it is also called ‘Xi Jinping Special Zone’.

When the high-speed rail was opened in December 2020, Beijing and Xiong’an New District were tied together as a daily living area.

If the big picture linking Tianjin to Tianjin is realized, the history of ‘thousand-year-old’ Beijing will be rewritten.

The goal of completing the super-large plan, which will cost more than 400 trillion won, coincides with the realization of ‘Chinese-style modernization’, which was first mentioned by President Xi Jinping at the 20th Party Congress in 2035.

This is a passage that shows the ambition of the Emperor Shi Huang, aiming for a long-term rule for more than 10 years.

However, there are concerns that the company’s relocation and investment attraction may be sluggish, resulting in a ‘dragon head’.

Like Hu Jintao’s Tianjin Binhai New Area, we can follow the path of failure.

At the 20th Party Congress, the CCP did not comment on the new town of Xiong’an.
