What are the advantages and disadvantages of China's western development?

First of all, the development of the western region has some advantages:

1, rich in mineral resources, grassland resources, hydropower, solar energy and other resources, with great potential for resource development.

2. Sparse population, low land cost and cheap labor.

3. The state's preferential policies for western development.

4. The urgent desire and great development potential of the western people to develop the economy.

Second, there are also some unfavorable factors in the development of western China:

1, the natural environment is relatively poor, the terrain is complex and the cultivated land area is small. The climate is dry or cold, and the fresh water resources are insufficient. Poor vegetation coverage, fragile ecological environment and frequent geological disasters in some areas.

2. Affected by terrain and other factors, the construction of transportation and other infrastructure here is difficult, the infrastructure is weak, and the external transportation is inconvenient, which affects resource development and economic development.

3. Lack of funds for economic development and backward technology.

4. Cultural education is backward and the quality of labor force is low.

5. Being located inland, relatively closed, with poor information, people's ideas need to be improved.

6. The technology is still underdeveloped. The people in the west can only benefit from the large-scale primary development of natural mineral resources and energy. They have neither the ability nor the technology nor the consciousness to improve the damaged environmental problems.
