Abstract
After 40 years of painstaking work, much improvement has been made in regional difference. The road of that development, however, is by no means a smooth one, full of setbacks and failure. The past forty years may be roughly divided into four stages: 1.a stage of rehabilitation and large scale transition towards the interior(1949–1959), 2. the dispersion stage with an emphasis on the construction of the interior (1960–1977), 3. a stage of moving back to the coastland and relative concentration of constructions of large scale industries (1978–1980), and 4. a stage of taking the coastland as the focal point for regional development (since 1981). Since the late 1970s, China began to carry out what is known as the Open-door policy. Great changes have taken place in regional development policy.
