Clusters to spearhead industrial development

Shenzhen in Guangdong province, Wuhan in Hubei province and Hefei in Anhui province will be the three new clusters for information technology manufacturing in China, according to a white paper published by CCID Consulting, a Chinese think tank.

The information technology sector in Shenzhen notched up 2.1 trillion yuan ($300 billion) last year, driven largely by tech giants such as Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, ZTE Corp, and DJI Technology Co Ltd. Twenty-two companies from Shenzhen are among the top 100 technology firms in the country.

Xi'an of Shaanxi province and Changsha and Zhuzhou of Hunan province were the top three clusters for high-end equipment manufacturing, according to a report released at the 2019 World Manufacturing Convention in Hefei from Friday to Monday.
