China has built up thousands of new and high-tech
development zones. In the 53 state-level new and high-tech development
zones, a great many sci-tech research results have been put into use in
production. By 2004, there were over 30,000 high-tech enterprises in
these zones, 20 of which had annual production values over 10 billion
yuan, more than 200 over five billion yuan, and 3,000 over 100 million
yuan. In these zones, the average growth in major economic indicators
has been maintained at 60 percent per annum for 12 years running, and
they have become important engines of national economic growth.
Private science and technology enterprises have also
made great headway, some becoming group corporations with annual output
values of anything from several hundred million up to several billion
yuan. Their high-tech products now account for over half of the
domestic market for such products.
Establishing export bases
for new and high-tech products in selected high-tech industrial
development zones is an important part of the government's plan for
developing trade through science and technology. The first designated
export bases, selected because of their rapid overall development, rich
talent, excellent equipment, and rapidly growing exports of high-tech
products, include the Beijing Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park
and high-tech industrial development zones in Tianjin, Shanghai,
Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Hubei, Guangdong, Shaanxi,
Dalian, Xiamen, Qingdao and Shenzhen. The Pearl River Delta, Yangtze
River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin region have the greatest
concentration of such export bases, consequently export volumes of new
and high-tech products from these areas account for over 80 percent of
the national total.
