Shanghai has developed so well and its economic conditions are so superior at home. Why has it not become a world-class international financial center?

The recent TV news all say that Shanghai is going to build an international financial center, and it also paints a magnificent picture for everyone, which makes many Shanghainese excited and excited for a long time. I remember we started talking about building an international financial center in 1992. At that time, it was said that there would be one leader and three centers, which seemed to be 17. At that time, it was said that an international financial center, 438+00, would be initially built in 2065. However, with the passage of time, the gap is getting bigger and bigger. Seoul in East Asia has also proposed to build a financial center in Northeast Asia, as well as Dubai in the Middle East and Mumbai in India. In addition to more tall buildings, Shanghai has found more and more competitors. I don't know what the leaders think, why is the progress so slow? It's a joke to announce the construction of an international financial center once, 10 years later. Is it necessary to announce in 2020 that we will strive to build Shanghai into an international financial center by 2050?

Why is there such a big distance from subjective wishes? Excuse me, where is the financial center of China at present? Is it in Shanghai? No, it's in Beijing. Beijing is a real financial center. The financial center is not the number of storefronts of securities companies, the number of business outlets of banks, the amount of deposits and loans, but the radiation scope of this financial center. An international financial center radiates around the world. It depends on how influential the center's every move is. It can be said that the current financial radiation radius of Shanghai is not far from Nanchang, and there is nothing to radiate except the Shanghai Composite Index. We see that a lot of financial information in China comes from Beijing, and many financial decisions come from Beijing. One voice in Beijing affects all of China, while Shanghai, like Nanjing and Hangzhou, is only the executor of a decision. Shanghai is only better than other regions in financial quantitative indicators, such as the number of foreign banks and the size of the securities market, but safe. Shanghai's headquarters is only poor Bank of Communications, stock exchange and foreign exchange trading center, and the rest are regional Shanghai Pudong Development Bank. This embarrassing situation is still talking about building an international financial center, and it is also said that it is a national strategy and state support. None of the major head offices supports Shanghai, preferring to stay in Beijing. Shanghai is only a regional financial center of Chinese mainland, and it is also announcing the establishment of an international financial center in a high-profile way. Does Shanghai have a say in international finance? No, it really isn't! Look at the number one financial center in the world. How many bank headquarters are there? Only by comparison can we know the gap.

It is always said that Shanghai used to be an international financial center in the 1930s, which is not wrong. But was the financial center announced in the1930s? Shanghai financial center in 1930s can never be reproduced in Shanghai. Don't forget that Nanjing was the capital and Nanjing was only a political capital. At that time, the head offices of Bank of Communications, Bank of China and Farmers Bank, which were controlled by four big families, were all in Shanghai. Even Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi live in Shanghai instead of Nanjing. There are many private banks in Shanghai, such as Salt Bank and Jincheng Bank. At that time, the headquarters of many insurance institutions and AIA were not in the United States, but in Shanghai. At that time, Shanghai was first and foremost a domestic financial center, and it was natural to become the largest financial center in the Far East.

Financial center has not been announced, and it is definitely not a financial center.

At present, the so-called state support is just some trivial so-called policies, which can't play a decisive role at all. The temporary solution does not cure the problem, and the financial center is still painting cakes to satisfy hunger or castles in the air. International financial center is not a slogan. No matter how high the building is, Shanghai has truly established an internationally recognized international financial center. At least when the headquarters of the central bank, industry and commerce, agriculture, construction and China Bank are moved to Shanghai, and many China financial institutions such as the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission and the People's Insurance Company of China are moved to Shanghai, it will show that Shanghai has the function of financial focus. Only when many financial policies are promulgated and formulated in Shanghai, and major economic newspapers and radio stations all over the country follow up the economic information generated in Shanghai, will it be only the starting point of an international financial center, not the completion, and it needs to be developed, because it is only a domestic financial center, and it is still far from the international financial center, and the system construction alone will be enough for approval for a while. Other high-profile announcements about how many years to build an international financial center are dreams.

Will the central government agree to move the headquarters of these decision makers to Shanghai? If you can't make up your mind to move your headquarters, can you still support Shanghai to establish an international financial center? Shanghainese say that Hong Kong will not be in a hurry to build an international financial center, but we are comforting Hong Kong ourselves, thinking that Hong Kong is in a hurry and needs its own progress in the face of competition from Shanghai. What a joke! Why? Because they know it's impossible! They know that China's financial center is still in Beijing, not Shanghai, and Beijing's financial center is also the policy financial center of China. Chinese mainland's financial centers have always been scattered, and there is no centralized advantage. Even the Shenzhen Stock Exchange will firmly hold China Merchants Bank and Ping An. Shanghai's use of foreign capital to build a global financial center has been opposed by netizens from other places. They believe that the development of Shanghai has absorbed the blood of the whole country, and the Expo construction in Shanghai is also opposed. They think that Shanghai is using the central government's policy of building a global financial center, and is using the strength of the whole country to write articles about Shanghai. Please take a look at the reaction of netizens outside Shanghai who have announced that Shanghai will build a financial center. What else can Shanghai ask of Beijing?
