Guangdong Shoes, Leather And Other Industrial Clusters Suddenly Rise.

At the beginning of the WTO accession, worries about whether the Chinese manufacturing industry could withstand the impact were endless.

The fact that ten years after joining the WTO has proved that "made in China" and "made in Guangdong" all over the world have become the world's most important economic and trade.

During the ten years, Guangdong's foreign trade import and export value increased 3.4 times, with an average annual growth rate of 16.5%.

"Made in Guangdong" is endowed with more

Extending industrial value chain continuously

After joining the WTO, many enterprises have gone through such a process: first do OEM, learn management and R & D experience, continuously improve, and finally do their own brand, bigger and bigger.

The official of Guangzhou Guoguang electrical appliance company, which produces sound products, told reporters that they had only made loudspeakers, but now they have produced complete sets of acoustic power amplifier equipment and are listed on small and medium-sized boards.

As a result of learning to swim in heavy winds and waves, many enterprises in Guangdong have been developing rapidly after joining the WTO.

Guangdong's commodity structure, trade mode, market structure and trade subjects are further optimized.

Data show that Guangdong has higher value-added electromechanical products and high-tech products in 2010, and its export volume is 6.3 times and 10.3 times that of 2000, respectively, representing 25.3 and 20.2 percentage points higher than that of 2000.

In Guangdong, even though the processing trade, which is considered to be mainly labor-intensive industry, has gradually changed from simple processing to "labor, capital, technology" and "three intensive" as the main form.

As of 2010, the total amount of processing trade processing in Guangdong amounted to US $117 billion 670 million, and the output value of domestic supporting industries exceeded 530 billion yuan, and the industrial chain of processing trade continued to extend. The 2414 processing enterprises in the whole province "ceased production pformation" and became the operating entity with independent management rights and independent legal person qualifications.

Embrace development and enhance competitiveness

Dongguan traffic jam, the global IT industry "cold"; a week to hand over tens of thousands of clothing orders, looking around the world, only a few areas such as the Pearl River Delta have such supporting processing capacity......

Since joining the WTO, Guangdong's industrial clusters and specialized towns have sprung up and become the highlight of promoting Guangdong's manufacturing competitiveness.

Wang Jun, an economics professor at Zhongshan University, said: "Clustered Development Based on Professional Towns provides a favorable platform for the internationalization of Guangdong's industries."

According to reports, in the past ten years, the professional towns in Guangdong have developed from more than 20 to 310.

In 2010, the output value of specialized towns in Guangdong accounted for 29.5% of GDP in the province.

Dongguan Houjie's footwear industry accounts for more than 25% of the world's output. Zhongshan Ancient Town's lighting exports account for 40% of the world's total, and Dongguan's Qingxi's exports of electronic products and accessories account for about 20% of the world's total. The export volume of Chenghai and Chaozhou's wedding dresses is quite high in the world.

In addition, electromechanical products and light industrial products are Guangdong's superior export commodities.

In 2009, the export volume of electromechanical products and light industrial products in Guangdong amounted to 317 billion 300 million US dollars, accounting for nearly 89% of Guangdong's exports. Among them, the export of mechanical and electrical products of private enterprises in Guangdong accounted for 48.5%, and the export of products was mainly concentrated in Foshan, Jiangmen and Yangjiang.

For example, Shunde's microwave oven exports account for about 40% of the world's total exports of similar products.

Since last year, the economic recovery in Europe and the United States has been difficult. The development of industrial clusters has once again become a magic weapon for the enterprises in the Pearl River Delta to deal with the crisis.

Reporters in the clothing professional town of Humen, Dongguan understand that the local industry is around the clothing industry, shopping malls, roads and other hardware upgrading, new shops will be two times more than the existing number.

Foreign capital tends to be advanced and heavy.

In recent years, with the pformation and upgrading of Guangdong and the increase of "double pfer", the "investment attraction" has increasingly changed to "investment selection", and the structure of foreign capital has been continuously improved. The top 500 enterprises have settled down, which has directly promoted the upgrading of Guangdong's industrial competitiveness.

According to statistics, in the past ten years, the total utilized foreign direct investment of Guangdong was US $154 billion 640 million, much higher than that of US $98 billion 810 million in the first 20 years of reform and opening up. Meanwhile, the source structure of foreign investment has been constantly optimized.

As of 2010, a total of 208 world top 500 enterprises from 20 countries and regions invested 778 projects in Guangdong, totaling 55 billion 610 million US dollars in total investment, and more than 400 R & D centers established by foreign enterprises.

In the past ten years since China's entry into the WTO, Guangdong has actively guided foreign investment in advanced manufacturing and modern service industries.

A number of projects with strong dynamic and radiation effects have been successfully settled in Sino Singapore (Guangzhou) knowledge city and FAW Volkswagen Southern production base.

The pace of attracting foreign investment in the service sector is also accelerating. The proportion of the province's actual utilization of foreign capital has jumped from 27.7% in 2000 to 39.3% in 2010.

Even more gratifying is that the rapid development of import and export business of private enterprises has injected new vitality into the development of Guangdong's foreign trade.

In 2010, the export volume of private enterprises in Guangdong was close to 100 billion US dollars, 70.85 times that of 2001.

In the ten years, the export volume of private enterprises in Guangdong increased by 59.96% annually, and the import volume increased by 49.37% annually.

In Foshan Nanhai, the owner of a private leather numerical control equipment company confidently told reporters: "because of the core technology, the number of CNC leather cutting machines we produced has increased two times in Europe this year.

Products can enter the world's traditional equipment manufacturing base, indicating that as long as we accelerate the pformation and upgrading, our development space will be bigger and bigger.
