Features: Since the 1990s, China has also actively advocated the policy of "promoting national development through science and technology." Shenzhen, as a pioneering city in China's reform and opening-up, was the first to propose the concept of "developing high-tech industries as a leading sector to build an international metropolis." After ten years of effort, it has established a number of high-tech enterprises, especially in the industrialization of scientific research and technology, ranking at the forefront of the country. Meanwhile, neighboring Hong Kong, after being tested by the Asian financial crisis, has increasingly recognized the importance of high-tech industries for the development of cities, regions, and even countries, and has also proposed a path toward high-tech development. Against this backdrop, this book provides a detailed analysis of the various aspects of technological competitiveness in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, extending to comparative studies of the Pearl River Delta region and the Beijing and Shanghai regions. It aims to reveal the respective strengths and development potential of the two regions through systematic comparisons, thereby offering practical recommendations for the balanced development of high-tech industries in both areas.
