City clusters across China have achieved compelling synergistic growth driven by the complementary regional integration development strategy.
One major regional integration cluster is the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It comprises four key cities, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao, and several surrounding cities.
The total economic output of the Greater Bay Area hit 14 trillion yuan (1.97 trillion U.S. dollars) in 2023, accounting for one-ninth of the nation's overall GDP.
The region has become a hub for producing electronics, new energy vehicles, drones and robots. And it is also home to more than 75,000 national high-tech enterprises and a batch of leading technology companies, such as Huawei, Tencent, and BYD. It also built and is still building several national- and provincial-level laboratories, such as Pengcheng Laboratory and Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory.
The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster is another pilot region. It aims to achieve better integration and more balanced regional development, by addressing regional income disparities and reducing pollution levels while promoting innovation-driven economic growth.
In the 10 years since the unveiling of coordinated development plan, the economic prowess of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster has greatly increased. The total economic output of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster in 2023 exceeded 10.4 trillion yuan (1.44 trillion U.S. dollars), 1.9 times as large as 2013, indicating the coordinated development and integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei are bearing fruit.
In the past 10 years, more than 3,000 manufacturing enterprises have been relocated from Beijing to Hebei and Tianjin, about 1,000 markets and logistics centers have been shifted from the capital or upgraded, and over 9,200 hectares of land freed up and "afforested "after the demolition of illegal buildings in Beijing, according to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei joint work office. These developments have directly or indirectly impacted the lives of more than 100 million people.
And in 2021, China issued a master plan for the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, aimed at driving the development of China's vast western region, and effectively solving the long-term problems of unbalanced and inadequate regional development in China.
