SHENZHEN, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- In more than 40 years, Shenzhen has become a cutting-edge sample of China's economic development from an obscure border town to a modern international metropolis with global influence. Some people say that Shenzhen is in recession, and the economic growth rate in the first three quarters of 2021 lags behind that of "North, Shanghai, and Guangzhou"; some people say that Shenzhen is getting older, the average age of the permanent population has increased by 2.6 years in ten years, and the attractiveness of the special zone has declined; others say that Shenzhen has fallen into difficulties, and the high-tech fields that are best at are suppressed by external suppression and are no longer shining and struggling. This is not the first time Shenzhen has faced doubts, nor will it be the last. In the face of changes, this "city of innovation" has been breaking through barriers and moving forward. See the truth between the two seas, Shenzhen's most eye-catching new landmark. On the first day after the New Year's Day holiday, the qianhai international talent port major platform was launched, which is committed to the exploration and innovation of talent system reform. On the same day, Shenzhen Airport, which was included in the scope of the "expansion zone" of the Qianhai Cooperation Zone, started construction of a number of key projects. Since September last year, the "Plan for Comprehensively Deepening the Reform and Opening Up of the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone" has been released for more than 100 days. This fertile land is accelerating the construction of a comprehensive deepening reform and innovation test platform for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and building a high-level gateway hub for opening up to the outside world. In areas such as Shenzhen's Guangming District outside Qianhai, a number of new projects have been started in a concentrated manner, from transportation construction to industrial space. Some commentators said that the first working day of the Shenzhen New Year brought people a sense of urgency that "the time is not waiting, only the day". This sense of urgency has an unusual background: Shenzhen's economic growth rate in the first three quarters of 2021 was 7.1%, ranking low among first-tier cities. As the "bellwether" of the innovative industry, Shenzhen bears the brunt of external sanctions and suppression. ——For a period of time, the property market showed signs of overheating, facing the upward pressure of large factor costs. For more than 40 years, Shenzhen has "killed a bloody road", and its total economic volume has increased from 270 million yuan in 1980 to more than 2.7 trillion yuan in 2020, ranking among the top 5 Asian cities, creating a miracle in the history of industrialization, urbanization and modernization in the world. "For Shenzhen, adapting to changes and reform and innovation have become the norm." Guo Wanda, executive vice president of the China (Shenzhen) Comprehensive Development Research Institute, said that this continuous adjustment and response reflects Shenzhen's unique vitality and momentum of progress, and also shows that the "Shenzhen Miracle" is actively created by exerting people's subjective initiative. Seeking momentum for innovation is allowing Shenzhen to re-"empower at a high level". Yu Xiquan, director of the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said that Shenzhen is improving the whole process of innovation ecological chain of "basic research and technology research results industrialization science and technology financial talent support", and strives to achieve more "0 to 1" original innovation in high-end software, artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, cloud computing, information security and other fields. Huawei's "2021 Answer Sheet" is undoubtedly a microcosm of Shenzhen. At the end of last year, under the severe test of a round of supply constraints, Huawei announced that it expected to achieve sales revenue of about 634 billion yuan that year. Only when there is a break is there a standing. Huawei also announced that the number of Huawei devices equipped with Hongmeng operating system has exceeded 220 million units, gaining a firm foothold. "The sharper the flint is struck, the brighter the light is emitted." Huawei rotating chairman Guo Ping said. Look at the trend between BGI gene's air membrane "fire eye" laboratory model, UBTECH's large-scale humanoid service robot Walker X, Tencent's "cloud exhibition" online live broadcast... On the 11th, the "Shenzhen Day" series of activities of the Dubai World Expo was launched, showing the cutting-edge level of Shenzhen's scientific and technological innovation and the strong "Made in China" on the world stage. Last year, Shenzhen's newly registered digital economy enterprises in the first three quarters increased by more than 80% year-on-year; the added value of strategic emerging industries in the whole year exceeded one trillion yuan; and more than 20,000 state-level high-tech enterprises... A number of original innovation sources such as Pengcheng Laboratory, Guangming Science City, and Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone have been formed; a ten-year action plan for basic research has been implemented to continuously promote a series of basic research ramming-based actions. A new platform was formed, the Shenzhen Bay Science and Technology Park, which gathers 52 listed companies and more than 100 upstream and downstream enterprises of semiconductors and integrated circuits. Provide asset-light consulting, carry out innovation and entrepreneurship training for small and medium-sized enterprises... Qiu Wen, chairman of Shenzhen Bay Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd., said: "The construction of industrial innovation ecology and industrial resource platform has become the key to the park's victory in the future. In Shenzhen, the original breakthrough of "from 0 to 1" and the fission of scientific research results "from 1 to 10" or even infinity are really happening in every moment of struggle every day. Jia Jiaya, founder of Simou Technology and tenured professor of the University of Chinese of Hong Kong, is igniting the flame of innovation in shenzhen bay science and technology park. "We use artificial intelligence to 'find fault' for a chip on the production line, which can be accurate enough to find a small error of a traffic light in a corner of Guangdong Province in one second." Jia Jiaya expects that the intelligent manufacturing industry with artificial intelligence as the core will usher in trillion-level market opportunities. There are urgent and slow. The "new kinetic energy" of the economy needs to nurture development and grow rapidly, while the traditional "big man" must return to normalcy and avoid overheating. In the first 11 months of last year, shenzhen real estate development project investment fell by 16.4% year-on-year, Shenzhen has always adhered to the positioning of "housing and not speculation", and the overheated property market has begun to cool down; at the same time, Shenzhen intends to promote the transformation of existing non-residential housing into affordable rental housing. In the view of many observers, innovation is not easy, beating a gong and drum can be achieved, and breakthroughs in key technologies are not overnight. Need for a deeper understanding of regional macroeconomics, scientific and technological innovation, more tolerance and stronger responsibility, short-term or painful, once set foot on the "no man's land", may harvest a broader space for development. Looking forward to the future, Shenzhen will act as the "main front", accelerate the gathering of innovation elements in the three places of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, work together to build an international science and technology innovation center with global influence, and burst out the greater vitality of collaborative innovation. Between the division and the future, the upper floor is the research institute, and the lower floor is the enterprise - the Shenzhen Engineering Bio-industry Innovation Center located in the Guangming District, which has a more avant-garde name called "Upstairs and Downstairs Innovation and Entrepreneurship Complex". At less than 8 o'clock in the morning, the lights in some laboratories had just been extinguished, and Zhong Chao, the founder of Baiyan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., 42, had come to the laboratory on the 7th floor to start a new day's work. The scholar of synthetic biology came to Shenzhen 2 years ago and joined the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, hoping to turn his research results, a medical adhesive material that heals wounds quickly like glue, into products as soon as possible. In addition to doing scientific research and taking students, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon, Zhong Chao will take about 2 hours to go to the company on the 5th floor to check the technical direction and answer questions. "Engaging in research and development, what is formed here is a kind of synergy; engaging in teaching and industrial transformation can also open up branches and branches, and differentiate into new breakthroughs and growth points." Zhong Chao is very satisfied with this "from 1 to 10" system innovation, "such a fast and efficient model is very important for the transformation of scientific research achievements in the early stage." "Like Zhong Chao, there are many people who come to Shenzhen for their dreams. In the past year, Shenzhen has introduced 229,100 new talents and accepted 90,300 fresh graduates. According to the Communiqué of the Seventh National Census of Shenzhen, the average age of the permanent population in Shenzhen is only 32.5 years old. Optimus Prime – the city is growing, buildings are changing, Shenzhen's spirit of hard work and innovation to attract talents has not changed, and its function as the "core engine" of the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has become more and more prominent. In recent years, Shenzhen's rich development momentum has also continued to spill over, and the production capacity, talents, technology and even industrial chain differentiated from the special zone are becoming the "Dinghai God needle" for innovative development and industrial upgrading in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area urban agglomeration, the Pan-Pearl River Delta region and even the whole country. From the north of Lianhuashan Park, Shenzhen Xili Lake International Science and Education City, Dongguan Songshan Lake International Robot Industry Base, Guangzhou University Town... The innovation platform shines with a dazzling array of beads. Overlooking Lianhuashan Park to the south, the University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the University of Chinese hong kong and other veterans have accumulated a lot of money, providing a steady stream of talent support and intellectual support for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It's an ordinary day in the Greater Bay Area – 7:40 a.m., Nanshan Science and Technology Park. Deng Wei, a staff member of the operation and maintenance department of the Information Center of the Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid, is maintaining 24 intelligent charging piles equipped with "South Grid Fuxi" chips in the cold wind. This self-developed domestic "core" can be applied in multiple scenarios to make the power grid operation safer and more energy-saving. 11:45 a.m. on Line 2 of the Shenzhen Metro. Xie Fuhua, a 26-year-old project manager at Coanda, is carefully debugging sensors to check the subway tracks to ensure that the trains are accurately positioned and run safely. "In the most speed-conscious cities, we care most about safety," he said. "At 5:30 p.m., traffic command hall. Xu Zebin, a police officer of the Science and Technology Department of the Traffic Police Detachment of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau, is nervously monitoring the road conditions. From the country's earliest electronic police to today's smart transportation network, Shenzhen, which has more than 3.5 million motor vehicles, has been using technology to guard the "way home". At 10:00 p.m., Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone. Chen Sheng, founder of Harbor Innovation Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. and a young man from Hong Kong, is still communicating online with young people who want to start a business in Shenzhen. From morning to evening, spring, summer, autumn and winter, with the "Qianhai Plan" and so on, the institutional barriers between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have been gradually abolished, and this north-south "innovation axis" of the Greater Bay Area is like Dapeng spreading its wings. Innovation, no boundaries. The city of innovation, always "young".
