Shenzhen, together with Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, is the "Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen". It is the four most powerful cities in mainland China, also known as the "super tier cities". But is it true that Shenzhen will become the economic center of the whole earth recently? What is the strength of Shenzhen?
On April 20, at the "Dawan district and Shenzhen's future" Summit Forum, Zhang Wuchang, an internationally renowned economist, delivered a speech "is Shenzhen a phenomenon?".
Zhang Wuchang is one of the founders of new institutional economics and modern property rights economics. He is famous in academic circles for his two articles "tenant theory" and "myth of bees".
In his speech, he said: 'remember what I said. The land where you stand in this moment (Shenzhen) is exactly this point. It is not out of proportion. One day, it will become the economic center of the whole earth. '
Thirty years ago, I inferred that Shanghai's economy will surpass Hong Kong's; today, I infer that Shenzhen will surpass Shanghai. '
Zhang Wuchang definitely infers that Shenzhen will surpass Silicon Valley, mainly because there is no industrial zone of Dongguan level in Silicon Valley. Not only today, but never. Today's Shenzhen, because of the existence of Dongguan and Huizhou, has an important advantage in international competition.
Zhang Wuchang also believes that Shenzhen has no cultural barriers and is very attractive to foreign talents.
Before that, Shenzhen's GDP surpassed that of Hong Kong for the first time last year. In 2018, Shenzhen's GDP was 24221.98 billion yuan, an increase of 7.6%.
In this regard, some netizens joked that 'if this refers to the price of Shenzhen, I have no objection', and some netizens agreed that 'Shenzhen is full of young people at a glance, as long as the fresh blood is continuous, development is possible', and others proposed 'Shanghai is more powerful, Kunshan Suzhou is nearby' and other views.
