Recently, Dongguan City has been included in the new first-tier cities, which makes people wonder how a prefecture-level city with the highest GDP can become a new first-tier city
The answer may not lie in GDP, but in Dongguan's position and role in China's economy.
Although Dongguan is located in the Pearl River Delta economic circle, its status as a prefecture-level city has not prevented it from playing a pivotal role in the national economy.
Although Dongguan's GDP is not the highest, its fiscal and tax revenues are considerable.
This shows that Dongguan has a strong economic strength, surpassing many cities with higher GDP.
Fiscal and tax revenues mainly come from corporate income tax, individual income tax, etc., and many manufacturing enterprises and foreign trade enterprises in Dongguan provide a solid foundation for the growth of their fiscal and tax revenues.
This also shows that economic development should not only look at GDP, but also lay a good foundation and practice internal skills in order to achieve sustainable development and eventually become a first-tier city.
Although Dongguan is only an ordinary prefecture-level city, and does not even have counties under its jurisdiction, its status and role in China's economy surpasses that of many sub-provincial cities.
This is also one of the reasons why Dongguan can become a new first-tier city.
The status and role of a city does not depend only on the level of the local government, but also on its role and contribution to the country's economic development.
Dongguan's numerous manufacturing and foreign trade enterprises have made great contributions to the development of China's export and manufacturing industry, so its position is very important.
As a new first-tier city in China, Dongguan shows us the diversified path of economic development.
We should not only pursue GDP growth, but also pay attention to the development of fiscal and tax revenues, infrastructure construction, and industrial structure optimization, so as to truly realize the city's strong economy and the status of first-tier cities.
This also provides useful implications for economic development in other places.
Therefore, Dongguan, as a new first-tier city, is not just a single economic figure, but the embodiment of an all-round economic development model.
To sum up, the reason why Dongguan has become a new first-tier city is not single, but the result of the joint action of many factors.
The growth of fiscal and tax revenue and the improvement of its status have laid a solid foundation for Dongguan's status as a first-tier city.
At the same time, it also provides useful inspiration and reference for the economic development of other places.
In the future, Dongguan will continue to play an important role in China's economy and make greater contributions to the country's economic development.
