In China there exists enormous regional differences in territorial exploitation and economic development. We have two regional developing macrostratogies to chose from: stressed (focal point) exploitation and balanced development. On the basis of Chinese and foriegn practices and theories of regional development, the author points out, China should adopt the strategy of stressed exploitation. That is, Chinese regional economic development ought to follow the model of sequenced diffusion in the way of point-axis to realize relative balance. In order to strengthen the ties between the Eastern and Western China and put the strategy into practice. We must set up prior industrial zones throughout the country. This is possible especiully along the coast and the Chang Jiang (yangtze) River, both of which are first class axises and there by can form an economic macro-pattern in the shape of a "T". Besides, the economic zones should widely establish their horitontal relations among themselves as well.
