"As the leader in developing the western region, Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle is a link between the east and the west and connects the north and the south. Once an important growth pole and a new source of power are formed there, they can greatly expand the strategic maneuvering space of China's economy." According to Professor Yao Shujie, Deputy Director of the Faculty of Social Sciences of Chongqing University, Chengdu-Chongqing City Cluster is the central hub of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and has a larger-scale economy and population than any other inland city clusters. Therefore, with obvious advantages, it has the greatest potential to become the fourth pole of China's economic growth. However, the shortcomings of the regional sub-center strength also need to be remedied.
