The GDP of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan and Dongguan has exceeded one trillion yuan in succession——
Why are there so many "trillion cities" in Guangdong?
Our reporter Zhang Jianjun
On January 24, Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Statistics released data that in 2021, Dongguan's GDP will be 1,085.535 billion yuan, officially joining the trillion-yuan GDP club.
Dongguan is the fourth city in Guangdong Province with a GDP exceeding one trillion yuan after Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan.
Four "trillion-trillion cities" have appeared one after another. Guangdong's cities with a GDP exceeding one trillion yuan take the lead in the country and shine on the stage of China's regional economic development.
In 2021, Guangdong will become the first province in the country with a regional GDP exceeding 12 trillion yuan, reaching 12436.967 billion yuan.
Why can there be multiple "trillion cities" in Guangdong?
Build a province with manufacturing
Walking into Beijiao Town, Shunde District, Foshan City, next to the Guangfo River Expressway, is the largest robot body production base in South China - KUKA Shunde Park.
In 2021, the robot output of KUKA Shunde Park will be nearly 18,000 units, ranking first in South China.
Based on the national industrial robot output of 366,000 units in 2021, one out of every 20 industrial robots in the country is from Shunde.
With KUKA as the leader, a group of industrial chain enterprises such as robot body, reducer, casting and system integration have gathered in Shunde District, Foshan City. A new force in Guangdong, a world-class industrial cluster, is accelerating its rise.
This is a microcosm of Guangdong's manufacturing province, and Guangdong's manufacturing has always stood at the commanding heights of the industry.
Foshan, one of the four trillion-dollar cities, is a major manufacturing city in the country. Shunde District of Foshan City has been known as an "industrial district" since the reform and opening up for decades. The total industrial output value of a county-level region in 2021 has exceeded trillions of dollars.
Combing the industrial structure of the four major cities in Guangdong, we will find that not only Foshan, but also Dongguan’s manufacturing industry is not inferior. The added value of Dongguan’s above-scale industrial enterprises has rapidly increased from 296.816 billion yuan in 2016 to 500.881 billion yuan in 2021, forming a The industrial development pattern of "five pillars and four characteristics" led by nine major industries including electronic information manufacturing, electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing.
Even in Guangzhou, whose economic structure is dominated by the service industry, high-end manufacturing is still growing strongly.
When looking for the secret of Guangzhou's high economic growth in 2021, some researchers said, "From the data point of view, it is inseparable from the strong growth of the secondary industry."
In 2021, the added value of Guangzhou's secondary industry will be 772.267 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.2%, and the secondary industry will grow rapidly, mainly benefiting from high-tech manufacturing. The two-year average growth rate was 15.6%.
New energy vehicles and integrated circuits in Guangzhou's high-tech manufacturing industry have become bright spots.
In 2021, Guangzhou's output of integrated circuits, displays, optoelectronic devices and mobile communication base station equipment will increase by 58.6%, 45.5%, 40.2% and 24.4% respectively year-on-year.
Integrated circuits, commonly known as semiconductors or chips, in the past, the manufacturing process of this industry was almost blank in the Pearl River Delta.
In recent years, Guangzhou Yuexin Semiconductor Co., Ltd. has grown rapidly, deeply cultivating the analog chip track, and has a good development momentum.
The development of manufacturing industry in Guangzhou is still increasing.
In 2022, the Guangzhou Municipal Government Work Report put forward the development goals for the next five years and 2022, emphasizing "adhering to the industry first and the manufacturing industry as a city".
Guangdong establishes a province with manufacturing, promotes industrial upgrading with innovation, and achieves concentrated breakthroughs in mid-to-high-end industries and mid-to-high-end links through technological innovation.
Complete industrial facilities
A high-end coffee machine has 260 parts and components, 50% of which are out of Foshan City and 80% out of Guangdong Province. The procurement radius is small and the cost is low, which brings a competitive advantage.
The leading enterprises in the production of coffee machines have connected more than 1,400 suppliers to the main chain, and the industrial chain is coordinated and efficient.
14,000 household appliance enterprises have formed a strong supply chain network, and 36,000 enterprises provide products or services such as production equipment and raw materials... These make Guangdong Shunde, known as the "home appliance capital", more and more confident. foot.
The construction of the industrial chain is an important starting point for attracting investment and creating a business environment for cities in the Pearl River Delta in recent years.
In recent years, Guangdong has deployed a long-term industrial chain system in the province, and made great efforts to implement the project of supplementing and extending the chain and strengthening the chain.
In order to promote the leap-forward development of advantageous industries, Guangzhou Nansha will further consolidate the cornerstone of the development of Nansha's manufacturing industry, vigorously promote the layout of the entire industrial chain, and implement the "1+X" and "chain length system" for key industrial chains.
Deeply cultivate 17 key industrial chains such as intelligent network connection and new energy vehicles, equipment manufacturing, semiconductors and integrated circuits, give play to the leading role of chain-owner enterprises, strengthen the supplementary chain and extend the chain and strengthen the chain, and realize the automobile manufacturing industry has exceeded 100 billion yuan for three consecutive years. close.
The good industrial facilities and the perfect industrial chain are the important factors for Guangdong enterprises to seize the opportunities in the international market and realize the strong growth of foreign trade under the epidemic situation in the past two years.
The rapid growth of foreign trade has brought about a boom in industry and logistics.
Data show that in 2021, Guangdong's total foreign trade import and export volume will be 8.27 trillion yuan, accounting for about one-fifth of the country's total.
Foreign trade increased by 16.7% year-on-year, and the importance of Guangdong manufacturing in the global supply and demand network under the epidemic is highlighted.
First-class business environment
Observing the four trillion-dollar cities in Guangdong, it is found that the four cities are all cities with a population of tens of millions.
There has been a continuous net inflow of population over the years.
Population inflow indicates that the industry is prosperous, employment opportunities are good, and there are many entrepreneurial opportunities.
In 2020, Shunde took the lead in carrying out the "One-stop" reform in Guangdong Province, and issued the first "One-stop" business license - the food business license, etc. were combined with the business license, and the business license information was loaded on the business license through a QR code. .
The applicant only runs once, submits only one set of materials, and fills in only one form, taking the lead in realizing the normalization of "one thing" for the establishment of a normal enterprise within 2 hours.
In recent years, Guangdong has regarded building a first-class business environment as the No. 1 reform project.
In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the Foshan Municipal Party Committee started a new journey to lead Foshan towards high-quality development.
In 2020, Dongguan's "No. 1 Document" is the construction of the business environment. It proposes to optimize the business environment as a top priority for comprehensively deepening reforms, and to empower high-quality development.
Today's Guangdong has more than 15 million market entities, accounting for about one-tenth of the country's total.
In Dongguan, there are more than 1.46 million market players, and in Shunde, there are more than 320,000 market players.
Yang Xinhong, director of the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Statistics, analyzed that despite the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Guangdong gave full play to the advantages of a relatively complete industrial system, and the industrial chain showed resilience and maintained stable economic growth. Among them, Guangdong's economy has a high degree of marketization and reform and opening up. There are also institutional and mechanism advantages.
