中国西部地区由于历史和地理环境等自然和人为的因素 ,经济的全面发展、文化的快速传承和更新诸方面与发达的中国东部地区存在着时间和空间上的差距。党中央提出开发西部 ,不仅要在社会发展的表层打破并改变这种差距 ,更主要是在这个系统工程中充分提高人的发展的潜在可能性 , Due to natural and man-made factors such as history and geographical environment, all-round economic development, rapid cultural heritage and renewal in western China, there is a gap in time and space with the developed eastern China. The CPC Central Committee’s proposal to develop the western region not only needs to break and change this gap on the surface of social development but mainly to fully raise the potential of human development in this systematic project.
