The Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Provincial Party Committee commissioned a third-party agency to conduct an assessment of people's sense of security and political and legal work satisfaction in Shanwei. The two assessments in Shanwei were year-on-year. The rate of increase is the highest in the province.

What is commendable is that there are more than 1.4 million overseas Chinese and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in Shanwei. Nearly 1.4 million people are starting businesses and finding jobs in the Pearl River Delta and other places. There are 25,000 local enterprises in other places. The power of local talents is Shanwei has great potential for development. In recent years, Shanwei has made great efforts to optimize the business environment, play a good role in "rural sages", guide rural sages to return to their hometowns to invest, participate in the construction of beautiful countryside, and promote the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.

The current ranking of Shanwei cities

Shanwei is close to the Pearl River Delta and is greatly affected by it. As a fourth-tier city, prices are still in the first and second tiers. Many young people in Shanwei cannot afford it. In my hometown, I still can’t afford to build a house on my own land. Both land and housing prices have skyrocketed. During the Spring Festival in previous years, spinach in some places actually increased to more than 30 yuan! This is also a market chaos! Personally, I believe that retaining the population is the key to retaining talents. Creating local employment and attracting foreigners for development are Shanwei's top priorities. Shanwei has a population of more than three million, but the actual local resident population is estimated to be only about two million, because Shanwei The population is mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta, so transportation is inconvenient and inconvenient.
