Chen Wenling, Chief Economist and Deputy Director of the Executive Board of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges:

Guangzhou Should build "Five Highlands" and "Four Hubs" in the future

Chen Wenling said that improving Guangzhou's primacy and driving force is a key consideration. She summed up her thinking on the high-quality development of Guangzhou with "five highlands" and "four hubs".

The "Five Heights"

It means building high ground for innovation, institutions, human resources, manufacturing and modern service industries.

"Four Hubs"

It is to create a three-dimensional and intelligent transportation hub, an international and market-oriented circulation hub, a hub at the intersection of "The Belt and Road" and a new dual-cycle development pattern hub.

Chen Wenling believes that Guangzhou should give full play to its existing advantages and urban genes, and transform them into unique advantages in constructing a new development pattern under the new situation. "What are the genes of Guangzhou? In my opinion, it is not only advanced manufacturing industry, but also modern service industry and even modern business. Guangzhou needs to become a global trade center, a global logistics center, a global trading center before it can become a global financial center."

In terms of cultivating new competitiveness, Chen Wenling suggested:

First, vigorously promote the construction of an international consumption center city, promote the deep integration of international consumption with industrial development, promote the deep integration of international consumption with business and tourism culture, and promote the deep integration of international consumption with the creation of market scenes.

Second, give full play to the advantages of Guangzhou's modern market system, analyze and explore the stock resources and advantages of the Canton Fair and other exhibitions.

Third, to build a high-quality modern industrial system for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and make Guangzhou a strategic hub for advanced manufacturing and modern service industries.

Zhang Yansheng, Chief Researcher of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges and former Secretary General of the Academic Commission of the National Development and Reform Commission:

There are three breakthroughs in Guangzhou's high-quality development

Interpreting index system is often a shortcut to interpreting development ideas. Zhang Yansheng delivered a keynote speech titled "Comprehensive Performance Evaluation and Breakthrough Selection of High-quality Development in Guangzhou", and explained in detail the changes between the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the past index system of comprehensive performance evaluation of high-quality development.

He explained that in the new index system, eight indicators will continue to be used, such as GDP growth and total labor productivity growth. Seven indicators were revised, such as the urbanization rate of permanent residents and the growth of R&D spending. There are five newly set indicators, such as the proportion of added value of core industries in GDP of digital economy; There are 7 indexes proposed as chapter indexes, such as the scale of new construction land, etc.

To achieve high-quality development in Guangzhou, he suggested the following three breakthroughs: First, build a global innovation hub. Second, build a global network for producer services. Third, metro areas should explore cooperation paths for common prosperity. Zhang Yansheng believes that Guangzhou's advantage lies in its ability of basic research. It has the comprehensive advantages of applied basic research, generic basic research and development experimental research brought by many large institutes. In 2022, the tertiary industry in Guangzhou accounted for 71.47%, and the added value of modern service industry accounted for 67.1% of the service industry, which is very close to the A-class city in the global network of modern producer services in terms of scale and proportion.

Professor Lu Benfu, Vice President of China National Innovation Association, former Executive Dean of School of Economics and Management, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences:

The new blue ocean of digital economy can be tapped from five types of innovation

Lu Benfu proposed two approaches to innovation: one is to compete in the market of "existence", the other is to create in the market of "absence", and divided innovation into four parts -- breakthrough innovation, modular innovation, iterative innovation and blue ocean innovation. Lu Benfu believes that human beings have entered the digital economy era from the industrial economy era. The core of the industrial revolution is the large-scale reproduction of physical products, while the core of the digital revolution is the large-scale reproduction of human experience. "Currently, the digital economy accounts for 40 percent of China's GDP and has become the most dynamic field of innovation. The transformation of human experience into data knowledge and information to the Internet has brought great explosion."

In this context, Lu Benfu put forward several suggestions for Guangzhou's digital-economy-driven development.

In terms of breakthrough innovation, the international technology community should be quickly supported, starting from Guangzhou to build a mirror image of GITHUB in China;

In terms of modular innovation, we encourage the birth of new platform companies in Guangzhou, especially in the fields of intelligent driving, intelligent medical treatment and intelligent education.

In the aspect of iterative innovation, we can build the industry version of ChatGPT and build the live broadcast base of digital virtual people.

In the aspect of blue Ocean innovation, the fashion industry and wholesale industry of Guangzhou can be intelligent, and explore the new blue ocean of digital economy.
