Dongguan's city administration is considered especially progressive in seekingforeign direct investment.[4]Dongguan ranks behind onlyShenzhen,ShanghaiandSuzhouinexportsamongChinese cities,with $65.54 billion in shipments. It is also home to one of the world's largest shopping malls, theNew South China Mall,[5]which is seeing increased activity.[6]Although the city is geographically and thus culturally Cantonese in theWeitouform and as well as culturallyHakkain the prefectures ofFenggangandQingxi,the majority of the modern-day population speaks Mandarin due to the large influx of economic migrants from other parts of China.[7]The city is home toseveral universities,includingGuangdong University of Science and Technology,Guangdong Medical UniversityandDongguan University of Technology.

Economy

edit

In thePearl River Deltaregion Dongguan was the first urban area where joint production was implemented between village collectives, localChinese Communist Party cadre,and foreign investors. In the 1990s this type of enterprise accounted for around 20 percent of allforeign direct investmentsand approximately 50 percent of exports by thePeople's Republic of China(PRC).[8]

Today Dongguan is a major manufacturing hub, although it suffered significant loss of economic activity from the impact of the2007–2008 financial crisis.[9][10]The largest industrial sector is manufacturing of electronics and communications equipment; international companies with facilities in Dongguan includeDuPont,Samsung Electronics,Nokia,Coca-Cola,NestléandMaersk.[11]

TheDongguan Science and Technology Museumopened in December 2005 and is the high tech commerce park in the Songshan Lake district, which opened in 2003. The museum is a partnership with the Global IT Academy of theBrea Olinda Unified School DistrictinSouthern California,demonstrating the city's emphasis on attracting technology business. The city announced in 2005 a planned investment of US$500 million over five years for technology infrastructure improvements. The city administration is considered especially progressive in seekingforeign direct investment.[12][13]Among the investors were Brazilian shoe manufacturers. Brazil excelled in manufacturing cheap footwear in the 1970s and 80s. The Brazilian community in Dongguan numbered 4,000 people in 2013.[14][15]

While the city is the fourth largest export region in China, behindShanghai,Shenzhen,andSuzhou,Dongguan has yet to gain the kind of name recognition realized by Shenzhen outside of China. This may be because the city has focused on infrastructure investment rather than the direct targeting of major corporations with financial incentives for economic development. Nevertheless, Dongguan has been identified by high level representatives of theNational Development and Reform Commissionof the central government as one of the most significant growth regions for technology in the coming years. As part of this plan, the Dongguan local government announced a plan to create and support a 100-billion-yuan photovoltaic manufacturing industry by 2015.[16]

To cope with the impact of the financial crisis, Dongguan city is looking to industrial restructuring, focusing onfour pillar platforms,these are governmental services, supporting measures, technology upgrade, and market expansion. The city government claims that this process has already enhanced its capability for independent innovation and the quantity of patent applications in 2008.[17][18]

Dongguan was known as China's “Sin City”, where prostitution once thrived. But authorities have attempted to eradicate prostitution in the city.[19]

On 9 February 2014China Central Televisionaired a special on the sex industry in Dongguan. The same day Guangdong Provincial Police raided and closed all saunas, bars, foot massages, karaokes, and other businesses associated with the sex industry. The economic impact of this crackdown is believed to be 50 billion yuan, or just over $8 billion US dollars. The residual effects of the crackdown affected the livelihood of taxi drivers and restaurants who, while not directly involved in the sex industry, benefited from the increased clientele.[20][21]

The city ranked 13th in Forbes China's listing of the most innovative mainland cities, as well as 18th inForeign Policy'slisting of the most dynamic cities in the world.[22]

History

edit

The earliest traces of human habitation in the area stretch back 5,000 years. In 1839, at the outset of theFirst Opium War,large quantities ofseized opium were destroyedinHumen,a town that now belongs to Dongguan. Several of the major battles of the war were fought in this area.[citation needed]

During theSecond World War,the city served as the base for guerrilla resistance against the occupation that came with theSecond Sino-Japanese War.[23]

Being a district of the Huiyang prefecture before, as its economy overshadowed the prefectural capital ofHuizhouitself, Dongguan earned city status in 1985, and was upgraded to prefecture city status three years later.[24]During this period the city changed its focus from an agricultural town into a manufacturing hub, with an average annual growth of up to 18 percent.[25]

Geography

edit

Geographically, the city is mostly hilly to the east and flat in the west,[26]with 115.98 kilometers (72.07 mi) of shoreline. The urban center of Dongguan is 50 kilometers (31 mi) from that ofGuangzhouto its north, 90 kilometers (56 mi) fromShenzhento its south, 47 nautical miles (87 km) fromHong Kongand 48 nautical miles (89 km) fromMacauby waterway. It is positioned in the middle of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen economic corridor, a hub for both land and sea transport.

Of Dongguan's total area, 27 percent is water, 25 percent forest land, and 13 percent arable land, while 35 percent of its land area has been fully developed.[citation needed]

Basketball street art in Dongguan

Dongguan is dubbed as a "National Basketball City" and is the only prefecture-level city with three professional basketball clubs in China. Established in 1993, theGuangdong Southern Tigersare the first professional basketball club in China, and won elevenChinese Basketball Association(CBA) championships.

The city hostedWeightliftingevents during the2010 Asian Gamesat theDongguan Arena.[40]

The 16,000 seatDongguan Basketball Centerwas one of the venues for the2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup.[41]The venue has also hosted the2015 Sudirman Cupbadminton tournament.[42]

Dongguan Yulan Theater is one of China's newest multipurpose performing arts venues. With its multi-layered exterior suggestive of an unfolding lotus petal, it has become a landmark in Dongguan city. The new cultural hub houses two theaters presenting a full schedule of performances, includingRomeo and Julietand the Chinese classicButterfly Lovers.So far Dongguan has produced seven original musicals by its own and made a roadshow of 60 performances in over 30 cities of China.[43][citation needed]

Social issues

edit

The city and province have been the recent focus of press and journalist attention with coverage of the many young Chinese workers, principally females (so-calledfactory girls), from agricultural areas who work in the area's factories and manufacturing/assembly facilities, where many are housed in large dormitories, usually several to a room.[44]

An article in theHigh Tech Misery in Chinaseries reports research conducted, over 2008 to 2009, on working conditions at one of the city's major keyboard makers (Dongguan Meitai Plastics & Electronics Factory); in it, Meitai factory won some unwanted attention due to the poor conditions for its young, mostly female workers. The article[45]includes details of those conditions, photos, translations of employer's rules and evidence that well-known computer brands use this keyboard supplier's products.

Also, Dongguan has built a notoriety within China for its various types of brothels, massage parlors, nightclubs, sauna centers and karaoke bars. The city had more than 120 top-end luxury hotels and hundreds of other mid-range places that offer illegal sexual services or lease floors to sex operators, and many parts of the broader service sector benefit from the trade brought by visitors.[46]Although much of the business is illegal, police operations to limit these activities were for a long time largely ineffective, in part because corrupt members of the local administration and other officials have business interests in the sector.[47][48]On 9February 2014, CCTV aired a report about prostitution in Dongguan. In reaction, on the same day, Dongguan police launched a crackdown on brothels, massage parlors, nightclubs, sauna centres and karaoke bars, leading to some commentary that the city's days as China's sex capital were numbered.[49][50]

Education

edit

The city is home to 650 educational institutions: one general college, a TV University as well as technical and vocational schools, 550 primary schools and 480 kindergartens. Also, Dongguan is home to a wide range of international schools due to the large expat community.

The number of professional teachers, including those at kindergartens, totals 20,268. A comparatively integrated educational system has been set up including preschool, basic, vocational, higher and lifelong adult education. Senior high school education has developed since 1995.
