基于中欧班列运行与我国沿线节点城市之间互动关系的视角,从外贸规模、功能定位、产业结构、基础设施、绿色低碳、城市协作等六个方面分析中欧班列运行对西安、重庆、石家庄等城市高质量发展的正面效应。研究结果表明,中欧班列作为亚欧大陆跨国贸易的重要载体,其开通运行对我国内陆城市开放型经济发展具有积极的促进作用。中欧班列进入规模化运行之际,需要从政策层面加强统筹,针对规划设计、货运组织、运行效率、市场化运营等方面的问题,从全国层面的规划引导、区域协作与互联互通、产业融合升级、国际合作交流四个方面进一步完善机制,推进更高层次开放型经济发展。

Starting from the interaction between the China-Europe Railway Express (CR Express) and the cities along the line, the study analyzes the positive effects of the CR Express on the high-quality development of the cities of Xi’an, Chongqing and Shijiazhuang from six aspects, including the scale of foreign trade, functional positioning, industrial structure, infrastructure, green and low carbon development, and city cooperation. The study proposes that as an important carrier of cross-border trade between Asia and Europe, CR Express has a positive effect in promoting the development of open economy in inland cities. As CR Express enters into large-scale operation, it is necessary to strengthen the coordination at the policy level, and further improve the mechanism in four aspects, namely, planning and guiding at the national level, regional cooperation and interconnection, industrial integration and upgrading, and international cooperation and exchange, to promote the development of open economy at a higher level in the cities in response to the problems in plannings, freight transport, operational efficiency, and Market-based operations.
