孙中山从西北地区在全国所处的国防、经济和民族地位出发 ,较完整地提出了开发西北的战略设想。其目的是希望通过开发西北 ,一方面改变当地的贫穷落后面貌 ,提高西北地区人民的生活水平。另一方面加强民族团结 ,巩固西北边防 ,进而达到建立一个独立、统一、富强的新中国的目的。 Sun Yat-sen proceeded from the perspective of national defense, economy and national status in the entire northwestern region and put forward a more complete proposal of a strategic plan for developing the northwest. Its purpose is to hope that by developing the northwest, on the one hand, it will change the poverty and backwardness on the ground and improve the living standards of the people in the northwestern region. On the other hand, it should strengthen national unity and consolidate the northwest frontier so as to achieve the goal of establishing an independent, united, prosperous and new China.
