Wuhan ranks the tenth national competitiveness


The Blue Book on the Competitiveness of China's Cities in 2007 Released the Comprehensive Competitiveness of Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Shanghai Habitat

(Reporter Liu Chunyan) Yesterday, the “Blue Book on the Competitiveness of China's Cities in 2007” was published in Beijing. In the “Competitive Scale” city rankings, Wuhan ranked tenth. The top nine cities are: Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Taipei, Foshan and Hangzhou.

It is understood that this "Blue Book on the Competitiveness of China's Cities in 2007" was led by Dr. Ni Pengfei from the Institute of Finance and Trade of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Experts from four cities on both sides of the straits have joined hands with each other. Nearly 100 experts from famous domestic universities, national authoritative statistics departments and local research institutes. It has been completed jointly for the last half of the year.

Wuhan Iron & Steel and Dongfeng Prop up Wuhan's Competitiveness

The report quantifies and analyzes the comprehensive competitiveness of 200 prefecture-level cities in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Taiwan from the six aspects of market size, economic growth, production efficiency, resource conservation, economic structure and living standards.

Wuhan ranks in the top ten cities of “scale competitiveness”, and Wuhan has not been among the top ten in terms of other comprehensive competitiveness, efficiency, competitiveness, and competitiveness.

Professor Zhao Lingyun, dean of Hubei Provincial Academy of Social Sciences and a professor of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, believes that this ranking result is more realistic. What is the competitiveness of the city scale? “Simply put, it is a city’s competitiveness due to its economic scale and economic aggregate.” Zhao Lingyun explained that the rise of a city’s economic benefits has a variety of driving factors, and the economic scale is one of them. The part of the competitiveness driven by the scale itself can be called "scale competitiveness."

According to Zhao Lingyun's analysis, on the one hand, Wuhan is backed by large-scale and oversized industrial enterprises such as Wuhan Iron & Steel, Wuzhong and Wuchuan due to its relatively good industrial foundation and relatively complete industrial structure; on the other hand, Wuhan has paid close attention to the “industrialization of the city” in the new era. The high-tech industries of Dongfeng, Wuyan and Optics Valley have been vigorously developed. "These have all become strong supports for Wuhan's scale competitiveness."

Where is Wuhan's lack of comprehensive competitiveness? Zhao Lingyun believes that there are three main aspects: First, brand competitiveness is not enough; second, innovation competitiveness is weak; third, locational competitiveness is congenitally deficient.

Regional pattern determines urban competitiveness

The report believes that the gap between cities across the country is expanding. In 2006, the overall structure of China's urban competitiveness is still the Pearl River Delta region, the Yangtze River Delta region, the Taiwan Strait region, the Bohai Rim region, the northeast region, the central region, the southwest region, and the northwest region. The problem of unbalanced regional development was prominent and the competitiveness sector began to refine.

Zhao Lingyun believes that with the full implementation of the policy for the rise of central China, Wuhan’s urban competitiveness will increase significantly in the next three to five years.
