The 40Th Anniversary Of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone

In 1979, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, the historical changes in the South China Sea and the east of the Pearl River were about to unfold. The story of Shenzhen, which has been repeatedly repeated in the future, also set sail.

On August 26, 1980, Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was officially established. After 40 years of surging rivers, Shenzhen has transformed from a small fishing village into an international city. The total output value of Shenzhen city has increased from less than 200 million yuan to 2.69 trillion yuan in 2019. The "speed of Shenzhen" is worthy of the name.

What's more remarkable is that Shenzhen has created a business card of "the city of science and technology". Over the past 40 years, people from all over the world have come to Shenzhen and become Shenzhen people. Looking at the land reclamation and the towering high-rise buildings here, we can see that the city has grown into a "Silicon Valley of China", where there are numerous technology giants.

Why Shenzhen?

As the forefront of reform and opening up, the wisdom of the system breeds the gene of innovation and inclusiveness. The Special Economic Zone injects vitality into Shenzhen, making it the first choice for entrepreneurs. With the development of science and technology, the city has been liberated and the people's wisdom has been released. On this basis, Huawei, Tencent and other science and technology enterprises were born and grew up in Shenzhen, and they made mutual achievements with Shenzhen. Today, the struggling enterprises are taking the scientific and technological strength as the base to help Shenzhen develop into a smart and digital city of the future.

The year 2020, the 40th anniversary of the special economic zone, is a milestone and a new starting point for Shenzhen. It will also carry forward the cause with the original intention of reform.

From functional city to smart city

40 years ago, the population of Shenzhen was less than 300000. In 2019, the permanent population of Shenzhen reached 13.4388 million. Shenzhen, which was not rich in land and human resources, has become a dream land for people to look for the future. In the list of world cities in 2020 released by GaWC, a world-famous city rating agency, Shenzhen has risen 9 places in the list of alpha cities, which is the same level as San Francisco and Zurich.

All these are inseparable from the scientific planning of Shenzhen and the spirit of Shenzhen People's struggle. Infrastructure construction is booming in the world. At that time, "Shekou mode" became the pioneer representative of reform. Shekou Industrial Zone has created many pioneers, including taking the lead in realizing the reward system for excess production, opening the national recruitment and employment system, taking the lead in reforming the wage distribution system, and taking the lead in implementing the social insurance system. The slogan "time is money, efficiency is life" was also born here.

Looking to the East, Longgang District in Shenzhen was still a remote mountainous area in the 1970s. There are ordinary villages here. In the 1990s, the "three come and one subsidy" policy made Longgang a processing plant. At the end of the 1990s, Longgang once again determined to transform and upgrade into a strong modern industrial zone. It is understood that at that time, Longgang District gave policy support to enterprises in terms of capital, technology, talents, taxation, land use, etc., which helped Longgang manufacturing transform into "intelligent manufacturing".

In this process, Longgang ushered in Huawei, Foxconn and other enterprises, and witnessed the birth of giants all the way. Only the Bantian area where Huawei headquarters is located has gradually formed a large-scale scientific industrial park, which has become an important pillar of Shenzhen's information industry. This also reflects Shenzhen's tolerance and open attitude towards the private enterprises represented by Huawei, which has contributed to their rapid development.

If you look at the science and technology park where Tencent Binhai building is now, it was still a sea more than 20 years ago. The coastal city is really close to the coast, and the sea view room window of Kempinski is a real sea view. In 2009, the software industry base in Houhai Central District of Nanshan District, China Resources Shenzhen Bay Sports Center and Shenzhen Bay port have all sprung up after reclamation and become an important contribution to Shenzhen's GDP.

In addition to regional and enterprise elements, high-speed rail, roads, airports And so on. Shenzhen's infrastructure has also undergone earth shaking changes in the past 40 years. At present, the actual population under management in Shenzhen exceeds 20 million, the road mileage exceeds 6000 km, and there are nearly 1000 skyscrapers over 100 meters. It is 100% urbanized, and has the third largest container port in the world and the most continental gateway in Asia.

With the continuous upgrading of infrastructure, the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous growth of GDP, urban development needs new breakthroughs and needs to meet more demands. The well-known "Maslow model" originally refers to five levels of human needs: physiological needs, security needs, social needs, respect needs and self realization needs. The theory is translated into the urban digitization, and four levels of requirements are presented.

Guo Ping, chairman in office of Huawei, once said that the first layer is infrastructure, which means ubiquitous connectivity, such as city 5g, WiFi, etc.; the second layer is security, including the security of the physical world and the network world, such as emergency command system; the third layer is the digitalization of the industry and the new mode of government affairs. There is no standard definition of smart city, and each country and region has different demands For example, Thailand's demands include safety and transportation. Saudi Arabia considers how to digitize chemical industry. The fourth layer is the city smart brain, including smart Park, intelligent operation, etc.

This means that the global functional cities are now transforming into smart cities and digital cities, just as functional mobile phones are upgrading to smart phones. In the future, the city will be similar to an intelligent life body, which simply superposes several functions of different traditional smart cities. Instead, digital technology will be fully applied to cover the city's "sense, transmission, knowledge, use" and other intelligent systems, integrate the city's global data, and build a complete digital system of intelligent life, including the brain, with full perception, cognition, thinking, action, and urban intelligence As a whole scene cross-border innovation platform, energetic organisms stimulate new urban kinetic energy and innovate new urban models.

This time, Shenzhen will also be in the forefront of the construction of smart city and digital city. Huawei, taking 5g as an opportunity, will build a global digital economy model city of 5g, cloud, computing, AI technology and industry application (5 "machines"), and bring good experience to enterprises and citizens, realize industrial development, benefit the people, and improve the sense of gain and happiness of enterprises and citizens Every member of the company brings opportunities and development space.

The power of digital base

In 2020, new infrastructure will be on the front stage. From 5g, cloud computing, AI to industrial Internet, emerging technologies are imperceptibly transforming the road of urban development. To build a smart city and a digital city, new technologies are needed to bring new momentum. These ICT technologies are like the electricity of 100 years ago, which will release a new wave of digital energy. The digital economy industry has become an important force driving China's economic and social development and technological change.

Huawei, the ICT giant, has played an important role in Shenzhen's success in building a bridge. From subway code scanning, takeout platform, taxi software, intelligent transportation, telemedicine and so on, it is inseparable from the support of network connection, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data and other technologies.

Here, technology is changing urban services and making management more human. Shenzhen's urban operation and command center will realize "one map comprehensive presentation" and "one network operation linkage", so that citizens can enjoy the data-driven smart city management services; "Pengcheng traffic agent" enables travel to be predictable, and the average speed of the whole city's traffic light intersections will be improved.

Here, technology is changing public transport to make travel easier. The 5g metro line is the first Metro Line in the world to experience the safety of the 5g Metro in Shenzhen. The 25gb data of more than 40 HD cameras in 8 carriages of the whole vehicle can be automatically transmitted in 150 seconds. Through AI image recognition and other technologies, the location of the lost items, the identity and track of the person who took the items can be quickly confirmed without manual intervention.

Here, technology is changing the course of life, making saving beyond time and space. Huawei provides Huawei campus Optix all-optical Park solution with pol minimalist architecture for Huazhong University of science and Technology Union Medical College Shenzhen Hospital, which has the characteristics of large bandwidth and anti-interference, greatly reduces the delay of telemedicine, and doctors can better guide surgery. For the storage of medical data, Huawei has proposed a solution to build a dual active data center, which can not only solve the storage problem of a large amount of data, but also complete the dual active architecture through the combination of multiple fusionservers and oceanstor, so as to ensure that the business will not be interrupted and the data will not be lost in case of single center failure. With such a high security data storage, the patient's data has been shared, as long as the social security account can be convenient for medical treatment.

Here, technology is changing the way education is, making learning ubiquitous. Shenzhen University City and Huawei have successfully built the first wi-fi6 standard wireless campus network in China. Huawei provides a one-stop management center, relying on core components such as AC controller, campus insight, CIS and other core components, to provide network automation deployment, intelligent network operation and maintenance and active security defense services. Through the construction of smart Park, Shenzhen University Town has achieved significant digital improvement: the proportion of classroom teacher-student interaction has increased by 40%, the efficiency of scientific research simulation and simulation has been increased by 30%, the operation and maintenance manpower has been reduced by 60%, and the energy consumption has been reduced by 30%.

So far, Huawei has helped more than 2300 enterprises in Shenzhen realize digital transformation. At the same time, Huawei has also helped cities gradually build five new infrastructures - cloud, Internet of things, data lake, artificial intelligence and video cloud - to drive the real economy and enable the whole industry ecology to evolve into digital and intelligent.

Digital Shenzhen ride the storm

It can be seen that Huawei has built a technical base for Shenzhen's new infrastructure through its digital capability and enterprise's wisdom. The broader market lies in the integration of Dawan District chain, which is also the basis for Shenzhen to walk out of the new mode. The sustainable development of surrounding Dawan District Urban Agglomeration provides more opportunities for new infrastructure construction.

In 2019, the outline of the development plan for Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay area and the opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on supporting Shenzhen to build an advanced demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics were issued successively, making Shenzhen a benchmark city with the mark of "two zones". As one of the centers, Shenzhen ushers in more opportunities in the metropolitan agglomeration of Dawan District, and the first opportunity for digital transformation lies in Shenzhen.

According to the data of Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of statistics, in the first half of 2019, the added value of digital economy industry in Shenzhen maintained a rapid growth trend, achieving an added value of 72.654 billion yuan, an increase of 8.0% over the same period of last year, and 0.6 percentage points higher than the growth rate of GDP, of which the added value of service enterprises accounted for more than 90%. Other Internet information services, application software development, Internet game services, and basic software development contributed more than 100% to the growth of digital economic added value.

Digital economy has become one of the pillar industries in Shenzhen. As the benchmark of digital city, Shenzhen will become the new template of the future city. Looking back on the 40th anniversary of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, each urban leap is the imprint of consolidating the technological foundation, integrating the surrounding capabilities and moving towards the road of scientific society. Shenzhen has grown into a stronger city in the crisis, and has become a rising star in doubts and difficulties. This young city, however, has mature quality. At the present time of unpredictable external environment, Shenzhen is more complex than many historical cities. What Shenzhen has to face is the real collision between marine civilization and mainland civilization, and an epic meeting in the field of politics and economy.

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the SAR, Shenzhen has set out again to plan a digital blueprint for the next 40 years. At the right time, Huawei will continue to work closely with many enterprises to build a digital city, providing advanced means for scientific decision-making of urban development, so as to support the digitalization of government affairs, transportation, police and other fields, and finally realize the smart city of "excellent government, benefiting the people, and prospering".
