Official clarification of Pearl River Delta Nine merger rumours of media misunderstanding

Android recently, a foreign media reported that "9 cities in the Pearl River Delta will be merged," The news in Guangdong blew up a pot, the press has been to the parties to verify.　　January 26, several foreign media have reported that China is planning to build the world's largest super city, located in southern China's Pearl River Delta near the nine cities will be merged into one, the total area of up to 16000 square kilometers, the equivalent of 26 large London area, more than two Wales are larger.　　Foreign media said that it cited the Guangdong provincial Town Planning and Design Institute of the General Planning Division Ma Changming words.　　Yesterday, Ma Changming to the outside world, when he was interviewed by foreign media, he said that the Pearl River Delta Urban functional integration, rather than the administrative division of the merger.　　Although this is a foreign media because of the understanding of China's situation is not understand the deviation, but the Pearl River Delta Economic Circle Functional integration of the discussion is indeed long-standing, the status quo is difficult to advance. 2009, the Pearl River delta per capita GDP reached 67321 yuan, equivalent to 9855.2 U.S. dollars, approaching the 10,000 dollar mark.　　Experts suggested that the GDP per capita approximation of 10,000 U.S. dollars, indicating that the Pearl River Delta is in the late stage of industrialization, is about to move towards modernization threshold.　　According to the "Pearl River Delta region reform and Development planning outline (2008-2020 years)", the PRD 2020-year GDP per capita goal is roughly equivalent to 20,000 U.S. dollars. But these are only data mergers, in fact, the Pearl River Delta Integration Road has been difficult to advance. Its forerunner Guangzhou and Foshan between the same city, but also tangled for many years before the first signs of effect.　　According to the 2009 "Guang-FO-cheng Development Planning": by 2012, Guang-fo first realized with the city, led the Guang-fo-Zhao Economic circle and led the Pearl River Delta Integration Development, Guang-fo GDP amounted to 1.8 trillion yuan, per capita GDP reached more than 100,000 yuan. At the same time, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, jiangmen Metropolitan Circle and Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou economic circle is difficult to establish.　　In this respect, Zhang, associate professor of political and public affairs management at Sun Yat-sen University, said in an interview with the first financial daily that the root of the law is that the laws and regulations in place are not coordinated, and the interests are difficult to unify.　　Zhang immediately said that he found in the Pearl River Delta survey, the province issued on the integration of documents, the various places will also have supporting the implementation of documents, but the implementation of documents are based on the requirements of their own interests, resulting in the implementation of conflict, can not form a resultant force. In addition, the industrial convergence degree of 9 cities in the Pearl River Delta is very high, competition is greater than cooperation, and researchers have studied the value added data of manufacturing enterprises and services in the Pearl River Delta in 2007, and found that Zhuhai and Dongguan, Foshan and Zhongshan,　　The industrial structure similarity between Huizhou and Zhongshan is as high as 0.998 and nearly the same.　　Zhang immediately believes that this excessive convergence of industrial structure not only makes the economic development of the Pearl River Delta region can not achieve the optimal allocation of resources, more likely to make the industrial development in the Pearl River Delta region to stay in the large-scale low efficiency, internal competition consumption is too large, low competitiveness of the state. May 2010, in order to promote the Pearl River Delta IntegrationProcess, Guangdong Province in particular issued the Pearl River Delta Regional economic integration of five special integration planning, involving infrastructure, urban and rural integration, public services, environmental protection and industrial layout and other fields.　　The second half of last year, Guangdong set up the Pearl River Delta Region Five integrated planning Task Force, respectively, by the three deputy governors directly responsible for the integration of the promotion, with a strong provincial government forces directly involved in the interests of the city between the pattern.
