Chinese New Year Greetings from Guangdong

GUANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On the eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year, Guangdong Governor Wang Weizhong extended greetings on behalf of the Provincial Government and its residents to overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan compatriots, and international friends.

Reflecting on 2024, Wang highlighted Guangdong’s economic milestones, including a GDP of 14 trillion yuan and foreign trade surpassing 9 trillion yuan. Urban and rural development initiatives, such as the "High-Quality Development Project for Counties, Towns, and Villages," supported industrial growth and modernization.

Guangdong advanced its regional integration within the Greater Bay Area (GBA), celebrating the initiative’s fifth anniversary. New policies in Hengqin, Qianhai, and Nansha, along with improved cross-border mobility via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, strengthened economic ties.

Key trade events, including the Canton Fair and China Airshow, attracted thousands of businesses, reinforcing Guangdong as a leading investment hub with over 19 million registered business entities.

Guangdong led in technological innovation, securing its eighth consecutive national innovation title. Major achievements included the launch of the “Meng Xiang” ocean drilling vessel, “Made in Guangdong” rockets, and advancements in AI, integrated circuits, and aerospace. The province also saw progress in Kirin chip development and the low-altitude economy.

Beyond economic growth, Guangdong focused on social development, improving employment opportunities, childcare, elder care, and environmental initiatives. Cultural projects like the Baietan GBA Art Center enriched community life.

Looking ahead to 2025, Wang emphasized Guangdong’s commitment to economic growth, reforms, and global collaboration. A key highlight will be the National Games in November, co-hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, marking a milestone in regional cooperation.
