After the start of the Year of the Dragon, Anhui, Liaoning, Guangdong, Heilongjiang and other provinces held the first meeting of the new year. For example, Anhui let outstanding entrepreneurs "stand in the C position" to share new development goals, Shandong held a high-level opening up and high-quality investment promotion conference, Shanghai held a conference on optimizing the business environment, and Guangdong held a high-quality development conference.
As the first province in the country to break through 13 trillion yuan, Guangdong Province revealed in early 2024 that its regional GDP will reach 1357 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 48%。On the east side of reform and opening up, Guangdong Province's continuous development and innovation have won it the first place in the national GDP for 35 consecutive years, which has attracted much attention.
What does 13 trillion yuan mean?
In 2023, the combined GDP of Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, and South Korea will be about 44 trillion dollars, 33 trillion dollars, 21 trillion dollars and 17 trillion dollars.
Guangdong's economic aggregate in 2023 (about 1.$9 trillion) more than South Korea and other countries, about 86% of Canada, 55% of the United Kingdom.
Before the reform and opening up
When the People's Republic of China was founded, Guangdong's economy was struggling to develop on a weak foundation, and its GDP was only 20 in 19492.7 billion yuan.
At that time, Guangdong was dominated by agriculture and the primary industry accounted for 60%. The economy is homogeneous, with an extremely weak industrial base, with only a few small mining, food and daily necessities enterprises and low production capacity. At the same time, basic heavy industries such as raw materials, electricity, and fuels are basically blank.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guangdong's urban population was small, with only 368 in 1953160,000 people, accounting for 12 percent of the total population03%, the province's urbanization level is low.
From 1949 to 1978, Guangdong implemented a foreign trade system integrating foreign trade operation and management, with no separation between government and enterprises, and unified profits and losses. During this period, Guangdong's foreign affairs were small in scale and developed slowly. In 1978, the total import and export value of Guangdong's foreign trade was 159.1 billion US dollars, accounting for 77%。
From 1958 to 1978, Guangdong's GDP grew at an average annual rate of 44%, which is lower than the national average.
From a backward small fishing village to a new engine of economic development, Guangdong Province's butterfly changes stem from reform and opening up.
In December 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee was successfully convened, and the strategic decision to shift the focus of work to the track of economic construction as the center was formally made. China has embarked on a great reform with great waves and entered a new period of socialist modernization.

1978-1990 Young industrial age
In the early days of reform and opening up, Guangdong perceived the huge business opportunities in the people's livelihood industry with a keen sense of smell. It took the lead in developing the manufacturing industry represented by textiles, food and small household appliances, and the growth rate of industrial added value reached 151%, forming the Guangdong characteristics of "export-oriented + manufacturing-oriented".
With the help of the "three to one supplement" policy, Dongguan Taiping Handbag Factory settled in Guangdong, and successfully stimulated the development of Shunde Dajin Garment Factory, Zhuhai Xiangzhou Woolen Factory and other enterprises, becoming the banner of the development of Guangdong's textile industry. Made in Guangdong has allowed Chinese people to wear trendy and fashionable clothing, and Guangdong has also become a national trend distribution center.
In 1984, Guangdong Sanshui County Distillery innovatively packaged beverages in cans and launched the national sports drink of "Jianlibao", which became a profound memory of a generation. Since then, instant noodles, sandwich biscuits, and canned beverages have been continuously transported to people's tables from Guangdong, greatly enriching the daily diet of ordinary people.
With the improvement of living standards, "Guangdong household appliances" have also entered various families across the country along the Beijing-Guangzhou line. "Mingzhu brand" and "Guanxiong" brand plastic electric fans, Wanjiale water heaters, Galanz microwave ovens, Kelon air conditioners, Skyworth color TVs and other household appliances continue to meet the growing material needs of people after the reform and opening up.
As early as April 1979, the first had put forward the idea of opening a "special export zone", hoping to create a good investment environment, with preferential measures such as tariff reduction and exemption as a means to encourage foreign investment, promote the development of exports, guide the inflow of foreign capital, promote technological progress and industrial upgrading, so as to drive economic growth.
Guangdong is honored to become China's first "special economic zone" and implement the "foreign trade package". In 1986, the total import and export value of Guangdong's foreign trade exceeded 10 billion US dollars for the first time, reaching 146US$700 million, an increase of 60 percent over the previous yearAt the same time, the total import and export value ranks first among all provinces and cities in the country, which has not only become the engine that drives Guangdong's economy to "take off", but also has formed a situation in which the country's foreign trade looks at Guangdong.
In 1991, the total import and export value of Guangdong's foreign trade was 525200 million US dollars, an increase of 32 times over 1978, with an average annual growth rate of 309%, "East, West, South, North, Middle, Fortune to Guangdong" has since become famous all over the world.
The development of electronic information and manufacturing industry from 1990 to 2000
In 1992, ** made a list of tasks for Guangdong to catch up with the "Asian Tigers". In the same year, the "Southern Talk" was published, and Guangdong's manufacturing industry set off a new round of development climax.
With the global information technology revolution and industrial structure adjustment, the Pearl River Delta undertakes the industrial transfer of developed regions, and Guangdong is also deeply involved in the international division of labor in the global electronic information industry. Shenzhen, Huizhou and Dongguan have particularly prominent development of electronic communication equipment manufacturing industry, opening up a "Guangdong electronic information industry corridor".
The country's first trading market specializing in the sale of electronic components - SEG electronic supporting market business is becoming increasingly popular, "Huaqiangbei" in the country to show fame, under its leadership, the electronic professional market at that time this new business format in the nearby areas everywhere.
