China has entered a stage of high-quality development, and unbalanced and inadequate regional development has become a key constraint on high-quality development. Regional coordinated development is a key problem that needs to be solved imminently in the national economic development strategy. Although the Chinese government has implemented such important development strategies as the development of the western region in China, the rise of central China, the revitalization of the northeast, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and ecological conservation and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, the problem of regional development imbalance remains prominent. At present, coordinated regional development faces the following problems: differences in resource endowments are difficult to change in a short time, there is a large gap in regional economic development, the system and mechanism of resource allocation are not perfect, and the industrial development has formed obvious path dependence effect which makes industrial transformation difficult. New quality productive forces are advanced productivity with scientific and technological innovation as the core driving force, with emerging industries and future industries as the basis for production, and with high-quality development as the goal. New productive forces adapt to the new era, new economy and new industries, which play an important role in promoting coordinated regional development. New quality productive forces drive digital technology to achieve revolutionary breakthroughs and innovations, and to achieve the rational flow and optimal allocation of production factors throughout the country, so as to promote the regional balance of regional coordinated development in the age of digital intelligence. Against the backdrop of the rapid advancement of intelligent, digital, and information technologies, new quality productive forces are profoundly integrated with traditional industries, driving the transformation of traditional industries into intelligence-driven, high-end, green, and service-oriented ones, promoting the upgrading and rationalization of industries, and consequently facilitating the industrial synergy for regional coordinated development. New quality productivity, driven by scientific and technological innovation, is conducive to China’s high-quality economic development, which is characterized by low input of factors, high allocative efficiency, low resource consumption, low environmental pressure and good economic benefits, improves productivity and relations of production, and leads to the sustainability of coordinated regional development. By integrating modern information technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and cloud computing, new quality productivity builds an intelligent supervision and decision-making platform, provides the strongest brain for social and economic development. It can better solve the contradiction between the overproduction capacity and the shortage of production factors, and promote the equity of regional coordinated development. Therefore, we should focus on the new infrastructure construction, major productive force distribution, the construction of a unified national market, and the improvement of scientific and technological innovation ability, so as to better promote coordinated regional development.
