Why Shenzhen is called China’s “Silicon Valley”

In August 1980, the Fifteenth Permanent Commission of the Fifth National People’s CongressmeetingOfficially approved the establishment of special economic zones in Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou and Xiamen, Fujian.

During the past 40 years, Shenzhen has continuously developed into a modern, international and innovative city. Currently, “University of Guangdong-Hong Kong-MacaoBay Area DevelopmentThe “Planning Scheme” proposes the establishment of an international center for scientific and technological innovation, and the “Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on supporting Shenzhen in the construction of a pilot demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics “require the construction of a comprehensive national scientific center with Shenzhen as the main position. These foresee the development of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. This provides a good opportunity to attract high-level elements, high-level resources, high-level talent, and high-level projects.

Shenzhen has always been known as the “Silicon Valley” of China. In this regard, Chen Rugui, Undersecretary of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of Shenzhen, gave an example at the press conference: “Two years ago, a European multinational giantthe companyA second innovation center was established in Shenzhen, the first in Silicon Valley. After signing with his CEO, I asked him what to do next, he said that he will soon be settling in Shenzhen, now going to Shenzhen bay to see the house, and coming to Shenzhen later.jobs, I live in Shenzhen bay. “

In particular, the R&D investment of the whole Shenzhen society accounts for about 4.9% of its GDP, which is at the world advanced level. The number of international PCT patent authorizations has ranked first in the country for more than ten consecutive years and innovation is very dynamic.

The role of special economic zones is even more important.
