What is the best time? Don’t always say you have to wait until the best time or condition comes true, they will never come. Those who know how to take advantage of opportunities are the masters of opportunity.
Financial centers have a very important role in the stability of countries and regions. Industrial capacity and living consumption are integrated into one, which has concentrated the population of nearby areas, and various industries can flourish.
Generally speaking, It is also the counterpart of the world and is the most frequent place for foreign trade in the corresponding country or region. By radiating the surrounding industries in the form of dots and surfaces, the industrial chain is improved. In terms of finance, financial centers are also generally the top-ranked economies in their respective regions.
For Chinese financial centers, there are three characteristics in today’s society.
1.Large economic aggregate
With China’s increasing international status, the total economic volume of various regions in the whole country has begun to increase by blowouts, and multiple GDP cities have emerged in each region.
2. The large scale of development
The top financial centers have achieved high status in the world, and their development speed and scale are among the top in the world.
3. High per capita income
In terms of local per capita income, as a developing country, China’s per capita income in some regions has reached the level of the average developed country, which greatly reflects the economic status and consumption potential of financial status.
China’s financial centers are distributed in many regions. Here are a few regions for your understanding:
1). Beijing
As the political capital of mainland China, Beijing is an earlier established financial center and is more well-known in the international community than other countries‘. In the early days, Beijing’s financial status was generally the development of heavy industries at the expense of environmental quality. Later, Beijing began to gradually transform, gradually outsourcing heavy industries to other regions and developed its own service industry and other hi-tech series of high-tech industries.
In terms of development speed in recent years, there is a gap between Beijing and the southern financial center, mainly due to the rapid completion of Beijing’s overall financial layout in the early period, which cannot be changed rashly.
Beijing has gradually linked its own development with its surrounding areas, forming a tight supply chain of the industrial chain, promoting the development of surrounding industries and helping the GDP of surrounding areas to further increase.
Beijing has several international cooperation organizations and financial institutions. In terms of the distribution of the overall financial industry, Beijing’s financial industry is extremely developed, and the overall contribution rate of the industry surpasses that of the service and technology industries. In the course of Beijing’s development, the status of financial centers has become more and more obvious, attracting a large number of foreign investors.
2). Shanghai
As a relatively large economic group, Shanghai has crushed the GDP of most countries in terms of economic aggregates and has significantly improved per capita income compared with other regions.
Although Shanghai’s financial status is not as significant as Beijing’s, due to Shanghai’s more open foreign policy and its advantages of being near the sea, Shanghai’s finance has more development potential in general.
As the largest financial center in China, Shanghai has nurtured a large number of migrant workers. In the southeast coastal area, it has formed a complete industrial chain service from raw materials to exports.
In the financial industry, Shanghai is among the forefront of in a large number of internationally important indexes such as stocks, futures, and oil. Although from the current situation, Shanghai has not really become an international center, with the gradual opening of its autonomous system, Shanghai is becoming closer to the international financial center.
3). Hongkong
Hong Kong’s financial center is world-renowned and international. It is on the same ladder as New York and London. The overall financial legal system construction and opening up are incomparable to the Mainland.
The perfect capitalist system has enabled foreign capital to have greater investor confidence in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong’s per capita income is also at the level of higher developed countries. Hong Kong’s financial aggregate has gradually been surpassed by the Mainland, but its financial position has never wavered.
In terms of finance, Hong Kong Financial Center is the third-largest in the world. It is located on the southeast coast, backed by the mainland and facing the world. This makes Hong Kong an interface for the world in terms of economic transportation and helps the rapid development of Chinese capital. With the improvement of China’s overall strength, Hong Kong, as the most important card in foreign trade, will set a direction in foreign trade and instruct the Chinese economy to operate quickly and effectively as a whole.
4). Shenzhen
Since the reform and opening up, Shenzhen, as an important pilot, has moved from a poor and backward fishing village to an international metropolis in the early days of reform and opening up.
In the ranking of the global financial center index, Shenzhen is at the forefront with excellent results. This represents the international recognition of Shenzhen’s efforts, and its development has also promoted local economic growth and promoted the influx of talents.
At the beginning of Shenzhen’s reform, it could only rely on Hong Kong, and it took on the daily raw materials and electricity required by Hong Kong, but in other respects the effect was not significant. In recent years, Shenzhen has gradually broken its own predicament.
Shenzhen is not only a conduit for foreign investment but also a financial center for China’s rapid development. It has surpassed Hong Kong in terms of economic aggregates and has its own say in some industries. More and more high-tech industrial companies have settled in Shenzhen, which has brought new opportunities to this rising city.
Asset types of Chinese financial centers
China’s heavy industry and basic industries still play a leading role in the national economy. Although the service industry and high-tech industries have made progress, from the overall situation, there is still a gap between the standards of developed countries.
The country’s heavy industry status in the world is not much different from that of developed countries. From the perspective of the overall industrial structure, China is still not perfect, and there is still a big step in industrialization. In some basic industries, some enterprises have even shown overcapacity, resulting in a waste of resources and reduced corporate benefits.
Although the high-tech industry is still dominated by Europe and the United States, with the development of time, China has made important changes in high-tech technology. Among several high-tech industries such as aerospace and high-speed rail technology, it ranks among the highest in the world and even surpasses developed countries in certain technologies. On top of the 5th generation communication technology, companies such as China’s Huawei are close to maturity and may lead the next generation.
Will China create a new financial center?
On the whole, China’s financial structure is basically determined. Although the regional economies have developed steadily, it is more difficult to create a financial center. Affected by the 2020 epidemic, Wuhan, a new first-tier city in the country, suffered a major blow and was unable to restore its financial status in the short term. Tier 1 cities like Wuhan may also be China’s next generation.
For a country or region, the Financial Center is important not only for economic status but also for the employment-population. Countries are currently facing a generally severe unemployment rate. Creating more reliable centers will attract more employed people and ease employment pressure.
The basic pattern of the country’s coastal areas has been formed. Among its vast Midwest cities, many cities have basic resources and the potential for sustainable development. If China’s new financial center will be established in these areas, it will greatly help the development of the central and western regions, and promote the more detailed development of the central and western industries.
Can the world-class Financial Center reappear?
Among the major economies in China, Hong Kong is at the forefront of internationally recognized financial centers. Although for most of China’s existing centers, it has surpassed Hong Kong’s economic aggregate, it is still slightly inferior in terms of international status. Mainly because of the nature of socialism with Chinese characteristics, foreign capital can not be completely assured to let funds settle in. From this perspective, Hong Kong’s non-interventive capitalist system is more suitable as a window for foreign investment in the mainland.
The world-class Financial Center created under this system is difficult to replicate, and it is more difficult to find a country with a large population like China and a region with a large economic amount.
It takes a long time to develop capital to adapt to a region. As a former British colony, Hong Kong has successfully become a pearl of the East in people’s impression under the mightiness of centuries, leading the development of the times.
The importance of China’s financial center
In China’s overall economy, several major financial centers have undertaken major economic tasks in various regions. It has a role to play in fulfilling social construction and ensuring social development. In terms of solving the employment problem, major financial cities generally have a considerable number of people. It plays a vital role in solving the local employment problem, and it can also bring a large number of migrant workers to help cities complete infrastructure construction.
In addition, in the service industry type, Financial Center is also an important consumer place. With contemporary people’s pursuit of quality of life, perfect infrastructure and service types can promote people’s sense of belonging to the city, and the turnover rate of help talents will decrease accordingly.
The financial center serves as a button principle, which can improve the overall construction of the city and promote the development of the corresponding area. In addition, the stability of a center also plays a vital role in a country’s base currency. There are a large number of financial audit institutions in the financial cities to check the normal operation of the currency. For China’s financial center, it involves the national aorta, which is a prerequisite for smooth operation.
Sum up
Nothing has existed for no reason, it must have certain opportunities. China’s financial centers are spreading more and more regions, which will promote the development of the entire country.
