The Little Pearl River Delta is what we usually call the Pearl River Delta, including nine cities (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Huizhou and Jiangmen), with an area of about 40,000 square kilometers and a population of about 40 million. The Greater Pearl River Delta includes Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau. The greater Pearl River Delta covers an area of 18 1 10,000 square kilometers, with a total registered population of 86.79 million. The Pan-Pearl River Delta includes nine provinces of Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Hainan, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangdong, and two special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao, which are geographically adjacent and have close economic and trade relations. The Pan-Pearl River Delta covers an area of 2.006 million square kilometers, with a total registered population of 456.98 million. The Yangtze River Delta includes Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Huzhou, Shaoxing, Nantong, Zhoushan, Yangzhou, Taizhou and Taizhou. The Yangtze River Delta has a land area of 109600 square kilometers and a population of 82 12 12000. Today, the total GDP of the Yangtze River Delta (temporary loan) is nearly twice that of the small Pearl River Delta, but the per capita GDP is not as good as that of the small Pearl River Delta. The Yangtze River Delta has shown a strong late-comer motivation. At this rate, the Pearl River Delta will be completely surpassed by the Yangtze River Delta.
Where is the Little Pearl River Delta?
1. The links between the Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong are insufficient. The Guangdong government is too high-profile and always regards itself as the big brother of reform and opening up, while Hong Kong, a tiny place, should be the little brother. In fact, Guangdong should recognize the leading role of Hong Kong in the Pan-Pearl River Delta economy and contact Hong Kong more. Hong Kong is one of the largest ports in the world, with active economy (once rated as the most active region in the world), developed tertiary industry, good industrial structure and high degree of modernization. Hong Kong's international status can help Guangzhou. However, over the years since Hong Kong's reunification, the problem of customs clearance between Guangdong and Hong Kong has not really been solved. Rising to the national level, Hong Kong's economic downturn will not only affect Guangdong's economy, but also be a disgrace to the Chinese nation. I hope the Guangdong provincial government can face up to this problem. The economic growth of Hong Kong mainly depends on the cooperation and support of the Guangdong government, because most of the basic materials of Hong Kong come from Shenzhen, Guangdong.
2. The Yangtze River Delta takes Shanghai as the center and has a large radiation range. Other cities in the Yangtze River Delta, as the hinterland of Shanghai (in fact, the Central Plains after Shanghai is its hinterland), provide the necessary materials (mines such as Anhui) and energy for its development (Shanxi is a major media province). Driven by Shanghai, the Yangtze River Delta dares to fight hard, actively attracts foreign investment and is supported by government policies. Especially in Zhejiang, enterprises are at the forefront, and the government does "logistics", which is an important reason for the rapid economic growth in Zhejiang recently. The geographical position of the small Pearl River Delta is awkward, and there is no place around it that can provide materials and energy like the Great Central Plains. Under the restriction of land and resources, the development is relatively limited.
3. Increase investment in education in Guangdong. There are many universities in the Yangtze River Delta and Yellow Triangle, especially first-class universities. Beijing: Peking University, Tsinghua, National People's Congress, Chinese Academy of Sciences (this can't be helped) and so on; Tianjin: Nankai, Tianda; Shanghai: Shanghai, Fudan, Tongji, Chinese Academy of Sciences, etc. In Guangzhou, to be honest, only CUHK can be called a first-class university, and its engineering strength is not good. South China University of Technology pays too much attention to engineering, and there are few research institutes in Chinese Academy of Sciences. On the other hand, it is indeed a very good idea for the Guangdong provincial government to set up a university town, which will complement each other to a certain extent, but as far as I can see, it has not given full play to its due effect. There are still some problems in the cultivation of undergraduates and postgraduates. It is suggested that the government set up a fund to send out students who are willing, have good academic performance or expertise, and have financial problems for two years at the undergraduate stage. The policy is 1+2+ 1. Many excellent students can't accept new ideas because of economic problems (this is not to kiss up to foreigners and control foreigners like foreigners). Then increase the subsidies for students. At all times and in all countries, the biggest investment and the highest return is the investment in "people".
In other words, other netizens also talked about retaining talents and attracting talents. However, I still think the most important thing is to retain talents and attract talents on this basis. There is a famous theory in marketing called "The Thief Ship Theory" (there is absolutely no innuendo), which says: There are thieves on the dock, and the captain often deceives people to board the ship everywhere, and the deceived people are publicized everywhere, and fewer and fewer people can be deceived by the captain. Finally, no one will be cheated again. The meaning behind this is very simple. The cost of retaining a talent is only a quarter of the cost of attracting a talent (the principle of marketing). The government should set up some scientific research funds, talent life guarantee funds and so on. For students at school, we should give them living allowances and set up responsive government scholarships to leave a good impression on Guangdong college students and make them loyal to the development of Guangdong. This is difficult to do, but the performance is also very high. In addition, Guangdong has not done enough in many small aspects, such as the replacement of foreign technicians and so on.
4. Create an active economic atmosphere and foster a hotbed of entrepreneurship. Economic freedom is the key factor for the success of starting a business. Economic freedom index is a commonly used index in the world, which is mainly composed of trade policy and tax.
