中国中部崛起计划的成果和展望

The Rise of Central China Plan(RCCP) is a policy adopted by the People's Republic of China to accelerate the development of its central regions in 2006. The development of the central region is of strategic importance in China's regional development layout. This paper tries to evaluate the performance of six provinces in the period of 2005-2012 under the RCCP. In result, the effects of the RCCP are clearly visible. All the economic indices including GDP in all six provinces have been rising considerably since the implementation in 2006, and continues to do so. Central China is poised to be the country's next source of high economic growth. Compared with the growing costs of raw materials, labor and land in the coastal areas, Central China, which boasts a strategic location, cheap labor force, and a rising consumer market, is well on its way to become the economic growth engine of the country.
