Since Deng Xiaoping’s dramatic Reform and Opening up strategy in the late 1970s, Guangdong has led China’s dynamic charge to modernization. Typified by Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the Pearl River Delta has been Guangdong’s own vanguard.
The 21st century has brought new challenges. Guangdong’s economy has faced widespread Western criticism. Cheap products exploitation environmental destruction-all are terms in common use. Economic growth at the expense of the environment and people’s lives is no longer sustainable.
But Western understanding lags behind Guangdong’s own response to these challenges. New strategies to answer the critics are already in place or taking shape-Industrial Transfer, The Double-Shift, Transformation and Upgrading, Building a Happy Guangdong.
Author David W. Ferguson sets out to challenge Western misconceptions of Guangdong’s present and future. Describing the Pearl River Delta’s most ambitious and progressive cities, companies, and development projects, he draws back the veil on a province exploding with ambition, innovation, and technology, which is driving over the next decade to create an economy and a society that rivals anything the West can offer.
