In the public's impression, it is generally weak provinces that will strengthen the provincial games, and Guangzhou is already a first-tier city. Why should we strengthen the provincial games? What is the reason behind it? This paper focuses on the background of Guangzhou Strong Province Association.
On the one hand, Guangzhou's 20 19 ranking is only about 22%, which is on the low side among provincial capitals and ranks seventh from the bottom. Generally, the primacy of provincial capital cities is too low, and it will be said that they have not fully played a leading role.
Therefore, the strong province of Guangzhou will mainly improve the centralized radiation ability of the provincial capital.
On the other hand, the rapid catch-up of Chongqing and Suzhou poses a "threat" to Guangzhou's status as a first-tier city. In the first three quarters of this year, Chongqing's GDP has surpassed Guangzhou, and it will be a high probability event to surpass Guangzhou throughout the year.
Suzhou, on the other hand, beat Guangzhou in fiscal revenue, industrial output value (added value), foreign trade import and export volume and other economic indicators, and the gap between GDP and Guangzhou is also narrowing. After Chongqing, Suzhou, as the "best prefecture-level city", also challenged Guangzhou.
In addition, the rise of regional star capital cities such as Chengdu, Hangzhou and Wuhan has also brought great pressure to Guangzhou. For example, as of June 5438+February this year, the mileage of Chengdu subway has approached Guangzhou, posing a challenge to the third city of Guangzhou subway; With the advantage of e-commerce, Hangzhou has impacted the status of Guangzhou as a business center and so on.
Tigers are not arrogant, when Guangzhou is a sick cat? At this moment, it is very necessary for Guangzhou to take measures to stabilize the economic market of the largest provincial capital.
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a national strategy, and its future goal is to build a world-class bay area and a world-class urban agglomeration, which means that a strong province in Guangzhou will be fundamentally different from the central and western provinces.
Most strong provinces in the central and western regions will move high-quality enterprises from other cities to provincial capitals through administrative means, and then concentrate on becoming bigger and stronger. After all, enterprises stay in small cities and can't recruit first-class talents, which is not conducive to enterprise growth for a long time.
But this situation does not exist in Greater Bay Area. Greater Bay Area is the region with the highest degree of marketization in China, and regional integration has entered a stage of deep development. Therefore, the purpose of Guangzhou Strong Province Association is not to plunder the resources of other cities, but to promote the development of surrounding cities.
We can see that Shenzhen, an increasingly powerful "big brother", has risen in Shenzhen-Guan Hui metropolitan area, and both cities have benefited from it. Especially after Dongguan undertook most of the industrial transfer in Shenzhen, the economy was booming.
On the other hand, in the Guangzhou-Foshan-Zhao Zhong metropolitan area, with the economic weakness in Guangzhou, the economic development momentum of Foshan, Zhongshan and Zhaoqing in the surrounding areas has obviously decreased, especially in Zhongshan, where the economy has experienced a cliff-like decline in recent years. Click on the link to view: Zhongshan this decade: GDP has been overtaken by Jiangmen in Huizhou and Zhuhai, and the scenery of the four tigers in the past is no longer there.
For Greater Bay Area, Guangzhou cannot decline. Only when it is strong again, can it fly with Shenzhen and me, and drive the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Dawan District to take off.
What is the function of the provincial capital? Generally speaking, the capital of a province is mostly the administrative, educational, economic, cultural, medical and transportation center of the whole province.
In terms of comprehensive strength, Guangzhou is undoubtedly the largest provincial capital in China. However, under the scenery, Guangzhou also has huge hidden worries.
The weak function of technology and finance is the "fatal short board" of Guangzhou, and it is also the root cause of Guangzhou's weak economic growth.
Under the background of Greater Bay Area's integration, Guangzhou is actively working with its brother city Shenzhen to seek new breakthroughs. On June 5438+ 10 this year, Guangzhou and Shenzhen held the "Twin Cities Linkage" forum and signed a series of strategic cooperation framework agreements.
Key laboratories and scientific instruments in Guangzhou are open to Shenzhen, and the two places will * * * build * * scientific research resources and work together to broaden the scientific and technological innovation corridor in Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao. In addition, Guangzhou Metro Line 22 also extends to Dongguan and connects with Shenzhen.
On the other hand, Guangzhou is also enhancing its endogenous development momentum. In terms of finance, the state is increasing its policy support for Guangzhou, and the central bank and other parts have agreed to set up the Guangzhou Futures Exchange to help Guangzhou build a regional financial center.
In terms of science and technology, in recent years, Guangzhou has increased its support for scientific and technological innovation industries, focusing on building major platforms such as Pazhou Internet Business District and Guangzhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone.
In terms of supporting science and technology enterprises, Huangpu District, for example, allocated 4 billion yuan to support the development of Xpeng motors.
Generally speaking, Guangzhou, together with Shenzhen, will sing "A Record of Cooperation between the Two Cities", which will surely create new glories and create a new economic miracle for the capital of the Millennium.
