Foreword

At present, economic globalization and regional integration have deepened and international financial crisis has prompted major adjustment of world economic structure and patterns. The Pearl River Delta (hereafter referred to as “the Delta”) is currently in the critical period of industrial restructuring and upgrading and the transformation of the economic development mode. Further progress of the economy faces practical problems, such as concentration of industries at the low end of the value chain, low efficiency of resource factor distribution, and weak overall competitiveness, but also enjoys favorable conditions such as significantly increased endogenous power, drastically enhanced indigenous development capabilities, and historical opportunities such as the acceleration of the upgrade of the consumption structure, continual progress of international industrial and technological transfer, and a new round of global technological and industrial revolution. To speed up the integration of Pearl River Delta industrial distribution is not only the actual requirement and inevitable choice for the Pearl River Delta to harness [its] complementary advantages, create synergies, pioneer transformation, create new advantages, and better participate in international competition and cooperation. It is also a strategic measure for the Pearl river Delta to play the role of demonstrating and spurring the force for development of the province and to speed up the strategic adjustment of the economy of Guangdong province, especially the strategic adjustment of industrial, transformation of development mode, and holding the aspiration to become the vanguard for the execution of the Scientific Outlook on Development.

In accordance with the State Council approved Pearl River Delta Reform and Development Planning Outline (2008-2020) (hereafter referred to as “Planning Outline”), within the coming time period, the Pearl River Delta industrial development is positioned to sustain a high-end development strategy, establish indigenous innovation highlands, build several advanced manufacturing industrial bases that rank top in the world in scale and level, nurture a batch of world-class enterprises and brands with international competitiveness, develop a modern service system supporting ’s international financial center, and construct staggered development in international freight, logistics, trade, exhibition, tourism, and innovation centers with Hong Kong and . The Planning Outline requires that at present and for the expected future period, the Pearl River Delta shall facilitate the integration between informatization and industrialization, prioritize development of the modern services industry, accelerate the progress of the advanced manufacturing industry, vigorously support hi-tech industries, rectify and upgrade advantageous traditional industries, proactively promote modern agriculture, construct main industrial clusters driven by modern service industry and advanced manufacturing industry, and pioneer the founding of a modern industrial system featuring advanced industrial structure, centralized industrial development, and high-end oriented industrial competitiveness.

The Provincial Committee and Provincial Government Decision on Accelerating the Construction of the Modern Industrial System (Yue Fa [2008] No. 7) explicitly proposes the concept of building the “Pearl River Delta modern industrial core zone”, which requires that cities in the Pearl River Delta abide by strategic requirements of regional economic integration to coordinate industrial development planning, positioning, and priorities within the region, launch multi-positional development, and draw upon complementary advantages to build the Pearl River Delta into a modern industrial demonstration area with strong core competitiveness, centralized high-end industries, and coordinated development of three industries that drive the progress of the whole province and influence South .

In line with the Planning Outline and the strategic deployment of the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government, and proceeding from the strategic patterns of Guangdong’s economic and social development, the Office of People’s Government of Guangdong Province hereby formulates and promulgates the Pearl River Delta Industrial Layout Integration Plan (2009-2020) (hereafter referred to as the “Plan”). The Plan mainly covers nine cities, including , , , , , , , , and , spreads to areas surrounding Pearl River Delta, incorporates contents associated with close cooperation with Hong Kong and Macau, and is effective until 2020. The Plan is mainly formulated based on the Planning Outline; the Decision on the Implementation of the Outline of Pearl River Delta Reform and Development Plan (2008-2020) (Yue Fu [2009] No. 10) and the Decision on Accelerating the Construction of the Modern Industrial System issued by the Communist Party of China Guangdong Provincial Committee and People’s Government of Guangdong Province; and the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating Pearl River Delta Economic Integration (Yue Fu Ban [2009] No. 38) issued by the Office of People’s Government of Guangdong Province.

I. Pearl River Delta Industrial Development Environment and Status Quo

(1) International environment The international financial crisis precipitated western countries to emphasize more a balanced economic growth mode, which heightened the difficulties for export-oriented countries to stabilize exports. Western advanced countries have begun to reflect on the excessively “virtual” development and there is a development trend of “re-industrialization” and returning to the development of the real economy. Energy, climate, and the environment are gradually becoming the new targets of international political and economic competition, and Western developed countries have successively introduced pioneering strategic arrangements to surmount the international financial crisis by vigorously developing energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and clean energy technologies, which ushers in a new wave of developing green energy science and technology and low-carbon economy after taking the lead to propel the information technology revolution and develop the knowledge- based economy. International countries have begun to redesign their economic activities around the world concerning R&D, investment, trade, production, services, financing and talent, and thus international industrial and technological transfers experienced new changes. The pace of industrial integration and the development of knowledge-based services industries and a service-oriented manufacturing industries has continued to gather momentum, and the international industrial structure is undergoing profound changes.

These changes will inevitably produce great influences on the role of the Pearl River Delta in international competition and the global industrial distribution of labor. To climb higher in the global industrial value chain, the Pearl River Delta needs to conform to the development trend of the times, change the old growth model of relying on the competition for resources and environment, enhance indigenous innovation, speed up economic restructuring, optimize regional industrial distribution, transform the mode of economic development, elevate economic innovativeness and competitiveness, and realize coordinated and sustainable development in an all-round way.

(2) Domestic environment Over the past 30 years of reform and opening, China’s overall economy and regional economy have experienced tremendous changes, which have formed multidimensional and multilayered patterns of opening to the outside world. In recent years, particularly since the outbreak of the international financial crisis, in order to drive the rapid and steady progress of economy, China has attached more attention on improving economic growth quality and benefits; facilitating the transformation of the economic growth mode and economic restructuring; promoting reform and opening up and indigenous innovation; enhancing the vitality and momentum of economic growth; and expanding domestic demand and gearing up the transformation of economic growth driven by foreign demands to that driven by coordinated foreign and domestic demands.

At the same time, China has placed regional economic development to an unprecedentedly important place and approved a series of regional development strategic plans in succession. From the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Bohai Rim to the Beibu Gulf economic zone, western straits economic zone, and Yellow River Delta, China is gradually forming a new regional economic layout and opening up new prospects for which numerous regions contend. Not to forge ahead is to slip behind, and to advance slower than others is also to be left behind. The Pearl River Delta needs to further innovate in its development mode, strive to be the vanguard of the Scientific Outlook on Development, gather the regional endogenous power by virtue of the accelerating industrial transformation, and upgrade and industrial distribution integration to provide a powerful and persistent force for economic development.

(3) Status quo of industrial distribution and key problems In the past 30 years, by adhering to reform and opening up, the Pearl River Delta has rapidly achieved economic surges predominated by industrialization and has become one of the important manufacturing bases of the world. In recent years, the Pearl River Delta has channeled more efforts to the strategic adjustment of economic structure, which is gradually changing the prolonged industrial structure characterized by low added value and labor-intensive manufacturing trade. The development of hi-tech industries and advanced manufacturing industries is clearly on the rise, and the advancement of the modern services industry and agriculture is speeding up. Three industries (primary industry, secondary industry, and tertiary industry) have achieved new progress in coordinated development. Industrial clusters [have] gradually expanded, industrial chains [have] extended and industrial supporting systems [have] become optimal. The industrial cluster development model based on characteristic industries has become a major driving force for the economic development of Pearl River Delta and even Guangdong Province.

At present, the manufacturing industry of Pearl River Delta presents a “two corridors and several bases” development pattern, which gives rise to an electronic information industry corridor at the eastern Pearl River estuary, an advanced traditional industry corridor at the western Pearl River estuary, and various characteristic industrial bases covering equipment, automobile, petrochemicals, and shipbuilding. Outputs of manufacturing industry in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan, and Dongguan account for 80% of the total output of the Pearl River Delta. The services industry is a trend with Guangzhou and Shenzhen as the core and several cities developing in clusters, with the output of the two core cities amounting to 60% of that of the Pearl River Delta. Modern agriculture is generally in imbalanced distribution and the agricultural output of Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, Foshan, Jiangmen, and Huizhou make up over 85% of the total of the Pearl River Delta. The correlation between the three industries, between businesses, and between enterprises [has] become increasingly close and the division of labor system has been formed. Competition-cooperation relationships among cities have been gradually formed, which preliminarily form the Guangzhou-Foshan-Zhaoqing, Shenzhen-Dongguan-Huizhou, and Zhuhai-Zhongshan- Jingmen economic circles.

However, due to the lack of a coordinated plan, the structural contradictions of the Pearl River Delta industries [have] become more prominent. First, the economic growth pattern where everyone competes for themselves has not changed substantially, the economic pattern characterized by administrative zone division is not yet broken, contending for resources and projects still abounds, the efficiency of the distribution of factors is not high, and resource waste remains relatively grievous. Second, industrial distribution is relatively scattered and the economic clustering effect is not obvious; the modern services industry relatively lags behind, industrial synergy is weak, and overall competitiveness is not high. Third, industries are concentrated at the low end of value chain, displaying highly similar structures and severe homogenous competition. Fourth, indigenous innovation support and leading development forces remain weak, technological and market reliance on the outside still remains too high. Fifth, pollution is relatively acute, there are obvious environmental constraints, and there are challenges to sustainable development. In general, the Pearl River Delta still confronts the arduous task of transforming from an economy typical of administrative division to a regional economy based on industrial labor division and cooperation.

II. Overall Concepts and Objectives
