The overall level of the new economic development in the western region is much lower than that of the whole country. In the 2015 and 2016，the new economy index is 1.9 times lower and 1.8 times than the national level，which shows a clear gap. Even Sichuan，Chongqing and Shaanxi，which are in the forefront of development，have failed to reach the national average level. But from the growth rate，the west is 5.05 pecentage higher than national level and the growth rate of Gansu，Guangxi，Guizhou and Qinghai is over 20%. It reflects the rapid growth and potentiality the new economic development in the western region. Among the first grade indicators，digital and green index in Sichuan are higher than the whole country. While all the other indexes of other provinces and cities are lower than the whole country，but the growth rate is still faster than the country. Compared with the whole country，the ability of globalization and innovation is the weakest index，and the digitalization and networking are relatively weak，and the intelligence and green are medium weak. Of all secondary indicators，only e-commerce proportion and integrated circuits are higher than the country. It can be seen that，in the western region，because of the relatively lack of science and technology，talent，capital and other factors，the development of the new economy is obviously behind other regions. It is urgent to get rid of the innate adverse factors by developing new economy to cultivate new kinetic energy，and realize the rise of the West as a turning point.
