Across the major "battlefields" of comprehensive revitalization, a "summer offensive" in project construction is being launched.
　　In this year of tough battles, the process is about to pass the halfway mark; the second quarter sprint is already at hand. Whether the positive trend can be consolidated and strengthened to lay a solid foundation for achieving the full-year goals, this period is particularly critical. The whole province is mustering its strength and tightening its focus, accelerating project construction to ensure the realization of "double over half."
　　On May 22, at the construction site of the Xitaizi highway-railway separated overpass project of the Lingsui No. 1 bid section undertaken by the Third Company of China Railway 19th Bureau Group, paving vehicles equipped with multiple sensors were operating along the optimal driving path calculated by the intelligent system, greatly improving construction progress. According to reports, the Lingsui Expressway is expected to be completed and opened to traffic in October 2025, about one year ahead of the original plan.
　　This is a vivid microcosm of major projects "running" at accelerated speed in Liaoning Province. Since the beginning of this year, Liaoning Province has thoroughly implemented the provincial-level promotion mechanism for major projects, and the provincial government has convened a major engineering promotion meeting to coordinate the advancement of major engineering construction. According to the relevant person in charge of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, there are currently more than 15,000 major engineering projects under construction across the province, with completed investment of approximately 150 billion yuan. Central enterprise projects have completed investment of more than 35 billion yuan in Liaoning.
　　Looking at the macro data, in the first four months of this year, the province's fixed asset investment grew by 4.9% year on year, 0.7 percentage points higher than the national average, continuing the development trend of stability with improvement, and presenting characteristics such as continuous optimization of the investment structure, high-level operation of investment in key areas, and increased quantity and improved quality of construction projects.
　　In terms of investment structure, in the first four months, Liaoning Province's industrial investment grew by 20.7% year on year, 4.3 percentage points faster than the same period last year, with its share rising by 5.9 percentage points, of which manufacturing investment grew by 16.6%. Infrastructure investment grew by 16.6%, with its share rising by 3.2 percentage points, of which investment in the production and supply of important resources such as electricity, heat, gas, and water, which accounts for 45.9% of infrastructure investment, grew by 37.2%, with its driving role becoming prominent.
　　In terms of key areas, investment in high-tech industries grew by 12.2% year on year; investment in high-tech manufacturing grew by 31.4% year on year, of which investment in the manufacture of aircraft, spacecraft and equipment grew by 2.7 times, and investment in the manufacture of electronic and communication equipment grew by 29.7%. Consumer market demand was robust, with accommodation and catering growing by more than 1.8 times, investment in wholesale and retail growing by 1.1 times, and investment in leasing and business services growing by 57.4%.
　　Specifically, at present, the number of construction projects across the province has reached 8,991, up 4.2% year on year; completed investment reached 155.43 billion yuan, up 15.5% year on year. Among them, the number of construction projects of 100 million yuan or more was 3,380, up 4.3%; completed investment was 122.78 billion yuan, up 19%. The number of construction projects of 1 billion yuan or more was 469, up 20.3%; completed investment was 76.67 billion yuan, up 45.5%.
　　These sets of data are both the confidence and foundation for completing the tasks of the first half of the year, and also the spur and encouragement to stick to the goals and go all out in the critical period of the second quarter. Now, with just over twenty days until the "midterm exam," whether a satisfactory "project answer sheet" can be delivered still depends on the hard fighting and scrambling during this period.
　　The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission stated that next, with the 15 major projects as the overall focus, the province will thoroughly implement the provincial-level promotion mechanism for major projects, vigorously grasp project planning, reserve and implementation transformation, and continuously promote the quality improvement and volume expansion of the reserve project library, construction project library and key project library, supporting and sprinting through the second quarter with strong project support.
　　"We must go all out to advance the implementation of project construction. For projects that have already started, we will ensure construction conditions such as labor, logistics, water and electricity, accelerate construction progress, and strive to generate more effective investment; for projects that have not yet started, we will step up the improvement of various preliminary procedures, strengthen guarantees for factors such as funds, land, and energy use, and promote early commencement of construction." The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission stated that, to this end, Liaoning Province will adhere to a problem-oriented approach, adopt on-site office work and on-site services, promptly coordinate and resolve problems existing in the process of project advancement, and provide full-process and full-cycle service guarantees for project construction. It will proactively connect with the needs of major projects and gather advantageous resources to tilt toward provincial key projects.
　　Funds are the guarantee for project construction. Liaoning Province will actively strive for central funding support. At the same time, focusing on major projects and continued construction and continued issuance projects, it will do a good job in the quota allocation of the first batch of local government special bonds this year, as well as the preparation for declaration of subsequent batches of projects. Centering on national major strategies and key areas, it will go all out to strive for various types of central funds such as ultra-long-term special government bonds, to "replenish qi and transfuse blood" for project construction.
　　Private investment is the main force of project construction. Liaoning Province will actively apply for national key private investment projects and release a list of key projects attracting private investment. It will advance the new mechanism of public-private partnership (PPP) in an orderly manner, focusing on attracting private capital to participate in the construction and operation of infrastructure and public service projects.
　　Major projects are "firing on all cylinders," providing strong support and injecting new momentum for Liaoning to fight and win the tough battle of this crucial year and for Liaoning's high-quality development.
