Pendant plus de 20 ans, la croissance du Guangdong est restée supérieure à la moyenne nationale. Le PIB du Guangdong a dépassé celui de Singapour en 1998, celui de Hong Kong en 2003 puis celui de Taïwan en 2007. Si le Guangdong était un pays, il serait alors la 23ème puissance économique mondiale au niveau de la Norvège ou de l’Arabie Saoudite. Si on calcule son PIB en parité de pouvoir d’achat, le Guangdong se situerait au 14ème rang mondial devant la Turquie. La richesse de la Chine méridionale, son dynamisme économique et les liens qu’elle entretient avec les communautés d’affaires asiatiques constituent les principaux facteurs d’attractivité de cette région. Infrastructures Province continentale la plus méridionale de Chine, le Guangdong possède un réseau de transports qui relie entre elles les principales villes du Delta de la rivière des Perles ainsi que Hong Kong et Macao. L'aéroport international de Canton « Baiyun Airport », est devenu une plateforme de transport aérien en Asie, il accueille le siège Asie Pacifique de FEDEX depuis 2009.
