Jinan, the first batch of sub-provincial cities in China, is one of the key industrial cities established by New China. After liberation, the state attached great importance to the development of Northeast China and East China, and gradually formed an industrial (heavy industry) base in Northeast China. As a transitional city in this narrow strip, Jinan, the industrial base of Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou, vigorously develops the strategy of coexistence of light and heavy, with the most important being light and the most important being heavy. Because Jinan is one of the earliest cities in China and the capital, there used to be light and heavy industries such as Ruifuxiang, Baomingzhai and Hongjitang. In view of Jinan's good industrial foundation, the state also supports Jinan accordingly. Light industries such as General Motors Group, Ruifuxiang, Baomingzhai, Fuehrer Knitting, Plum Blossom Sewing Machine and Jinan Wool Mill are all state-level industrial parks and heavy industries such as China Heavy Duty Truck.

Jinan is an important industrial base in China, and industry has brought infinite glory to Jinan. China's first planer, the first small machine tool and the first heavy truck were born here. However, since the middle and late 1990s, Jinan's industry has entered a "U"-shaped trajectory: Jinan's industry suffered a large loss, and all five listed companies wore ST hats, which was once widely discussed as a phenomenon. Due to the relatively backward development of industrial economy, the average annual growth rate of GDP in Jinan once fell to 12.8%.

Entering the 2 1 century, Jinan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will implement special strategies! Regaining the glory in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jinan Youth Lotus Automobile, Geely Group Jinan Company, Inspur Jinan Base, Tsingtao Brewery Jinan Base, CRRC CNR Wind Power and so on have been introduced one after another! Reorganize a series of outdated group companies such as Xiaoya and Sanlian Group!

Jinan, an old industrial base in China, is undergoing adjustment and transformation to an internationally advantageous industrial processing base and an advanced applied technology research and development base.

In a word, Jinan is an out-and-out industrial city, but it is not a heavy industrial city. It depends on historical changes. It was, and it may be in the future! Maybe not. ...
