浦东奇迹（英）

浦东开发的决策是英明的，规划是周密的，办法是聪明的。—-俄罗斯前总统叶利钦浦东宣布开发开放之初，几乎所有的美国人都认为不过是一句口号。但我认为是真的。现在看来，我说对了。许多美国人并不了解中国，他们不知道，中国人只要想干一件事，就一定能干成。因为你们能把资金、人力、物力集中起来办大事。—-美国前国务卿基辛格浦东开发过程是研究中国经济高速发展的一个典型案例，《浦东奇迹》出版后受到国内外的广泛关注，接着在国内外出版了英、德、俄、日、韩、波兰和越南等多种译本。本次再版，增加了新的内容，更新了部分图片，正如作者在再版序言中所说：“时代在前进，浦东开发的新思路和新实践也在继续探索和发展。浦东开发的‘硬成果’和‘软成果’也必然与日俱增。” 

《浦东奇迹》首版于2008年，作为五洲传播出版社“献给中国改革开放30年”丛书中的*部。该书是曾任上海浦东新区管委会主任、国务院新闻办公室主任的赵启正先生专门针对外国读者的阅读需求精心撰写的力作。 从1990年至今，浦东的开发开放取得了举世瞩目的成就，已成为“中国改革开放的窗口”和“上海现代化建设的缩影”。该书清晰地表述了浦东开发开放的时代背景、政策、过程和成就，真实记录了浦东开封的历程，更道出了上海历届市委，市政府及参与浦东开发实践的人民在探索中逐步形成的重要理念和观点。书中的百余张精美摄影作品和珍贵历史照片，为所有关注浦东、关注上海、关注中国改革开放进程的读者提供了真实、客观的阅读资料。现再版，更新部分图片，增加了上海市党史研究室对赵启正的一份访谈录《浦东开发开放的软成果》作为附录。浦东开发还在不断发展，新的思路和实践还在继续探索。在总结肯定浦东发展成果的同时，也要本着坚持实事求是的态度，检讨、审视。浦东可以总结的”软成果”和“硬成果”也必然与日俱增。

Preface to the Second Edition
The development of Pudong is a typical case study on the rapidly-growing Chinese economy. The original publication of the Pudong Miracle: A Case-study of China’s Fast-track Economy aroused much attention at home and abroad, with  translations into English, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Polish and Vietnamese among other languages being published successively.To expand the space for the development of Pudong, upon approval by the State Council, the Shanghai government revoked the administrative division of Nanhui District and incorporated it into Pudong New Area in September 2009. From then on, the new area could no longer count its economic and social development on the basis of the Pudong statistics going back to 1990.The book was published in July 2008. It included statistics covering 2007 at 1990 constant prices. The size of Pudong’s economy in 2007 was 1.7 times that of the rest of Shanghai based on 1990 prices. The Pudong New Area achieved annualized economic growth of boasted over 10 percent in both 2008 and 2009. Therefore, between 2008 and up to September 2009 when Nanhui merged with it, the whole area’s economic scale was twice the level of Shanghai’s achievement in 1990. It was also in this period that Pudong surpassed other districts of Shanghai. This marked the successful completion of the area’s first stage of entrepreneurship.The book also includes the interview record I gave to the Party History Research Center of CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee as an appendix, entitled the Soft Achievements of the Development and Opening of Pudong. It is the necessary supplement to the “hard results” recorded in the first edition. “Hard results” of the development zone’s construction draw most attention in studies on such entities in China. The achievements can be displayed numerically in terms of infrastructure, GDP, foreign investment, foreign trade, education, health and other aspects. Little attention, however, tends to be paid to the “soft results”. The latter refer to the thoughts and experiences of those working in economic development, social progress, urban infrastructure construction, cross-border cooperation, transformation of government functions, personnel training and other fields. As the results appear after due consideration and proven in practice, they are invaluable.

From the very beginning of its development, Pudong has been influenced and impacted by globalization, the New Area being at the very forefront of China’s opening to the outside world. Let us review this issue under seven differ- ent headings.1.Trade LiberalizationTrade liberalization is a primary indicator of economic glo- balization. By joining the WTO or regional integration organizations, sovereign nations sign agreements, lower their tariffs, reduce non-tariff barriers so that trade liberalization speedily widens its scope. Concurrently, the scope of liberalization has extended from traditional exchange of goods to the fields of technology, finance and other services.During the three-decade-long reform and opening up, the Chinese government has pursued a  course of  gradualism in its liberalization of trade and investment. This has led to a speedy upturn in China’s trade and economy as a whole, readjusted its foreign trade pattern and industrial structure, and vastly im- proved its trade and investment environment as well as remov- ing some infrastructure bottlenecks to economic development such as transportation and communications. All this proves that China can develop faster and better only when it actively takes part in all aspects of the globalization  process.China joined the WTO at the end of 2001. Very soon, its import and export trade volume registered increases of 20−30 percent annually. By 2007, its foreign trade figures reached 1,500 billion US dollars, making it the third largest trading na- tion in the world, surpassing Japan and next only to the US and Germany.The performance of Pudong at the forefront of China’s reform and opening up has been particularly outstanding. Taking advantage of China’s entry into the WTO, Pudong was one of the first among China’s cities to provide national treat- ment to foreign-funded and non-state-owned Chinese foreign trade enterprises in foreign trade operating rights, export rebates and quotas. This has invigorated the export system and mechanism through heightened competition among enterprises of varied backgrounds. Pudong’s export experienced an amazing “triple-jump.” In 2001, Pudong’s export amounted  to 11.5 billion US dollars. It took 11 years to reach that goal. Two years later, in 2003, the number shot up  to  21.2 billion  US dollars. Then, within just one year, i.e., in 2004, the third leap was achieved, reaching 32.4 billion US dollars. As to im- port, the leap in volume was even more impressive. It jumped from 3.4 billion US dollars in 1995 to 52.2 billion in 2005,  the average annual increase rate being 31.4 percent. In 2007, Pudong’s combined import and export figure totaled 128.1 billion US dollars, accounting for more than half of Shang- hai’s total.
