Is it possible to assign Tanzhou to Zhuhai in the future?

Incorporating tanzhou town into Zhuhai is an important strategic measure for Guangdong Province to deepen its reform and opening up, and to carry out self-optimization and zoning adjustment at a certain stage of development. It can be said that tanzhou town is not included in Zhuhai, which means that Guangdong has not deepened its reform.

Tanzhou town's inclusion in Zhuhai is an important part of Guangdong's strategic plan to deepen reform and build the Pearl River Delta with Shenzhen as the center, including Shenzhen, Dongguan and Huizhou in the east, Guangzhou, Foshan and Zhaoqing in the north, and Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Jiangmen in the medium and long term. It refers to the mode that Zhongshan regards tanzhou town as the Sino-Zhuhai cooperation zone, promotes tanzhou town to eventually become the urban area of Zhuhai, cedes tanzhou town to Zhuhai through Zhongshan, and urges Zhuhai to actively support the merger of Zhongshan and Shunde District to initially build the central city of Zhuxi, so as to consolidate the three pillars of the Pearl River Delta and enhance its competitiveness with other parts of the world.

It is wrong to merge Shunde District into Foshan, because Shunde is one of the original four tigers in Guangdong, so one tiger must be a prefecture-level city, two tigers form a prefecture-level city, and three tigers form a prefecture-level city, which is a model of one tiger plus three surrounding counties. This is called crossing the river by feeling the stones. Dongguan is successful as a prefecture-level city, and Foshan, Hainan District and its surrounding counties are also successful as prefecture-level cities. What has not been realized is what kind of development is the merger of Shunde District and Zhongshan. As a combination of two tigers, the economic aggregate should exceed Dongguan's 830 billion, but now the total of 750 billion is far less than Dongguan's. It can be seen that Shunde's delay in merging into Zhongshan is not conducive to deepening reform.

In fact, Shunde was not completely under the control of Foshan after the district reform. On the one hand, Shunde belongs to Foshan in the regional era, but it should belong to Zhongshan in the prefecture-level city era. Therefore, Shunde has been directly managed by Guangdong Province for a long time to ensure that Shunde does not surrender to Foshan and meets the operation of merging into Zhongshan. However, in 20 17, Shunde was actually decentralized to Foshan, indicating that the backward development of Guangdong directly led to difficulties in economic growth in the east, west and north of Guangdong.

Foshan is dominated by Nanhai District, so Shunde is different in Foshan. For example, in the design of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Nanhai District is equivalent to the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Shunde District is equivalent to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. If Shunde district is merged into Zhongshan city, it is the level of deputy secretary of the municipal party Committee, and the different leadership positions directly lead to the different allocation of resources. Shunde used to be the four little dragons, but now it has developed to a situation where even Nanhai District can't compare with all the data, let alone the strength gap opened by Dongguan City in Zhongshan City. It can be seen that Shunde District belongs to Zhongshan City, which is an indisputable design.

If Shunde District was directly merged into Zhongshan in 2009, the strength of Zhongshan City today is quite lower than that of Foshan, but the early layout design is conducive to the better development of Guangdong Province, especially the transfer of resources in the province to the region, which can recreate the glory of Guangdong for 40 years. Instead of staying in the debate on the development of the region as it is today.

We know that Zhuhai's economy is stronger than Guangdong's investment, but it is only the current level of Huizhou Zhongshan, and there is still a huge gap from cities like Dongguan Foshan, not to mention the level of Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Therefore, at present, Guangdong's investment in Zhuhai may not achieve the expected results. After all, development is not feasible without strength center and market favor and participation in construction.

In addition, in recent years, Chengdu merged with Jianyang, Jinan merged with Laiwu, and the strategy of improving the primacy of provincial capital cities. Guangzhou is the worst provincial capital in China, because the priority of provincial capital is to let a poor province concentrate its resources on the provincial capital to keep pace with the national average, and at the same time, take the resources concentrated in the provincial capital to other cities from time to time, so that a province will have a second and a third … city to reach the national average. The more prefecture-level cities in a province reach the national average, the higher the priority of provincial capitals, and the more centripetal force and cohesion they have. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for Shunde to merge into Zhongshan and upgrade to the center of the West Pearl River in the near and medium term, which is also conducive to the capital construction of Guangzhou, including the transfer of some "southern" resources to Dongguan.

For Shenzhen, the construction of Guangzhou's primacy itself is a release process of over-gathering provincial resources. In a sense, this outflow of "GDP" has consolidated Shenzhen's position. In addition, after Shunde is merged into Zhongshan, it is equivalent to a Dongguan-level city, and the construction of Shenzhen metropolitan area can only be regarded as an outline. Therefore, Shenzhen has no reason to oppose the standardized operation of Tanzhou's integration into Zhuhai in exchange for Shunde's integration into Zhongshan.

Huizhou itself is the only central city in eastern Guangdong that has a Pearl River Delta policy. With Tanzhou entering Shunde and Zhongshan in Zhuhai, Guangdong's first construction as the capital of Guangzhou has been consolidated, and it is not a bad thing to better obtain resources such as provincial education in Guangzhou.

Zhuhai is a special economic zone. Zhongshan is the center of the west coast of the Pearl River Delta in the near and medium term, and Zhuhai is bound to be the center of the medium and long term. Strategically speaking, Zhuhai will benefit the most from it. On the other hand, if Zhuhai only covets tanzhou town and does not participate in promoting Shunde's integration into Zhongshan, it will still be an old problem. The lack of Foshan-level cities in Zhuhai and the west of Dongguan is not conducive to regional construction, or Zhuhai is at best Zhongshan-Huizhou level, so it is difficult to talk about the construction of the same level as Guangzhou in the future. Therefore, Zhuhai must have a global concept.

Foshan will not be weakened by the loss of Shunde. In the past 20 years, the internal friction in Shunde in the South China Sea no longer exists, which is conducive to Foshan's energy transfer to economic construction. Because Foshan is now a prefecture-level city composed of two Xiaohu counties, it should be a few blocks away from Dongguan. In fact, Foshan's tax revenue is far less than Dongguan's, which shows that Foshan is still shiny under the internal friction of Shunde in the South China Sea. Only when Nanhai and Shunde are not in a prefecture-level city can there be development. In recent years, Shunde has returned to Foshan to continue to compete with the South China Sea because it has no direct jurisdiction over the province. In recent years, Shunde's economic recession is serious. It is no exaggeration to say that Chancheng in the South China Sea is no less than Zhongshan, which shows that Shunde has stayed in South China.

Therefore, a series of problems surrounding Tanzhou's inclusion in Zhuhai show that it is a strategic mistake for tanzhou town not to be included in Zhuhai.
