Why Shenzhen is called China’s “Silicon Valley”
In August 1980, the 15th meeting of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People’s Congress formally approved the establishment of special economic zones in Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou and Xiamen, Fujian.
For the past 40 years, Shenzhen has continuously developed into a modern, international and innovative city. Currently, the “Outline of the development plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Metropolitan Area” proposes the construction of an international center for scientific and technological innovation, and the “Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and of the State Council on supporting the construction of a pilot zone of demonstration of socialism with Chinese characteristics in Shenzhen “require the establishment of a comprehensive national scientific center in Shenzhen. All of these provide good opportunities for the development of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone to attract high-level elements, high-level resources, high-level talents 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 company established a second company in Shenzhen. The innovation center was the first in Silicon Valley. After signing a contract with his CEO, he asked him what to do next. He said he would settle in Shenzhen immediately. Now he will go to Shenzhen Bay to see a house. Later, he will work and live in Shenzhen. Shenzhen Bay “.
The chief executive of this company said, firstly, that Silicon Valley is the center of global innovation and Shenzhen is also the center of global innovation, but Shenzhen and Silicon Valley are not exactly the same. Shenzhen not only has certain advantages in software innovation, but also has advantages in hardware support, supporting industries and industrialization achievements. Second, Shenzhen is adjacent to Hong Kong and has advantages in attracting international talent and achieving international cooperation. In particular, there are very good industrial support facilities around Shenzhen, which are very helpful in promoting innovation. Also, he personally came to Shenzhen 11 times, and he especially liked Shenzhen, a young city with a beautiful and energetic environment, so he chose Shenzhen.
Chen Rugui said that Shenzhen has very good innovations.New cultureInnovative, ecology and innovative industrial support facilities. It is precisely under this innovative ecology that Shenzhen innovation and entrepreneurship are very active, with an average of one in ten people being entrepreneurs. Now Shenzhen’s new economy accounts for more than 60% of GDP (Gross Regional Product), and strategic emerging industries account for almost 40% of GDP. There are more than 70,000 high-tech enterprises in Shenzhen, and the number of state-level high-tech enterprises reached 17,000 at the end of last year, ranking second in the country. 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.
“Three cycles” promote the economic development of the special zone
Since the beginning of this year, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have repeatedly emphasized the need to shape a new pattern of development in which the domestic cycle is the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promote each other. The role of special economic zones is even more important.
In this regard, Ma Xingrui said, “In this context, we mainly unlock the three cycles. The circulation system is the objective of unblocking the circulation of the market; the third is to unblock economic and social circulation based on urban agglomerations “.
At the same time, Ma Xingrui also pointed out that, judging by the situation in the first half of this year, especially in July, August and September, the recovery of the Guangdong economy, especially the Pearl River Delta, was stable and good. . Data such as GDP, tax revenue, imports and exports, investment and consumption performed relatively well in July and August. However, it should also be noted that the current economic situation is still relatively complicated, it faces some uncertain, unstable and unexpected factors, and there is still some pressure on the Guangdong economy.
Statistics show that in August, Guangdong’s total consumer goods retail sales increased by 0.2%, and the growth rate recovered; the added value of industrial enterprises above the designated size increased by 6.5% and the total volume of imports and exports increased by 3.5%; the cargo volume growth rate has changed from a 1.7% drop in the previous month. An increase of 2.2%.
Currently, the construction of the special zone has entered the deep water zone. Standing on a new starting point, focusing on the future development of Zhuhai and Shantou, Yao Yisheng, deputy secretary of the Zhuhai Municipal Party Committee and mayor of Zhuhai, said that in order to develop new industries, we must focus on high-tech development , Chinese traditional medicine, specialized finance, commercial consumption, Key industries such as cultural tourism, conventions and exhibitions should continue to build Guangdong-Macao cooperative industrial parks to high standards, and use them to support the extreme construction of Guangdong-Macao.
