Abstract: In the ten years since the Coordinated Development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region，the level of synergy among the three regions has been continuously improved，the economic gap has been narrowed，and a new journey towards Chinese modernization has been initiated 
Based on the screening of 22 million news data from 2004 to 2022，this paper uses text mining methods to measure the amount of handshake channels，focusing on the role of the handshake channels in narrowing the regional economic gap The empirical results show that handshake channels in the BeijingTianjinHebei region significantly reduce the intercity economic gap Deeper handshake channels have greater marginal impacts and longer time horizons In heterogerery tests，fistly， with the capital as the core，handshake channels led by “BeijingTianjin” twin cities have a stronger effect；Secondly，the effect of handshake channels is weaker under the distance between cities that is too small or too big，showing an obvious “Ushaped” effect；Thirdly，handshake channels with the participation of colleges and universities，centralized enterprises，and local organizations are more effective 
In further mechanism exploration，this paper finds that the stronger the crosslocation investment formed between cities，the stronger the role of handshake channels in narrowing the regional economic gap，while the mechanism is more obvious in the scenario of “BeijingTianjin” domination or larger differences in industrial structure between cities Meanwhile，there exists both positive “tournament” effect and negative “crowding” effect on a certain handshake channel and other related handshake channels，which are jointly influenced by factors such as city hierarchy and resources 
This paper concludes that the process of constructing handshake channels should balance quality and quantity，and the channels should promote the core cities to share their successful experiences with other cities and make up for the remaining deficiencies，optimize the competition and cooperation patterns，and finally strive to form a new situation of regional multidimensional synergy led by handshake channels This paper can help to deeply interpret the promotion mechanism of handshake channels to promote the Coordinated Development of the BeijingTianjinHebei Region，and provide an effective reference for promoting this region to become a pioneer and demonstration area of Chinese modernization
