Vice Mayor of Dongguan: The current difficulties encountered by Dongguan enterprises are no less severe than the financial crisis.

Dongguan time network news yesterday, director of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government in Guangdong Economic and Trade Office Zhu ** visits Dongguan. Zhu Xi said that this was his first business trip since he took office on July 11. He first visited Dongguan. Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, deputy chief of the Yangtze River and related units attended the meeting. The two sides discussed the recent economic situation in Dongguan.

"The current difficulties encountered by Dongguan enterprises are no less than the financial crisis!" Jiang Ling said that during the financial crisis, Dongguan enterprises only had fewer orders, but now they are faced with three pressures: less orders, higher costs, and stronger *** appreciation.

Hong Kong-owned manufacturing industry is facing challenges. Da Jiangling said that Dongguan has always been closely associated with Hong Kong. Among the cities in the Mainland, Hong Kong-owned manufacturing industries are mainly concentrated in Dongguan, and traditional manufacturing industries such as textiles are mostly located. In the past few decades in the European and American markets, a lot of Hong Kong capital has grown into a listed company in Dongguan SMEs.

“But after the changes in the industrial environment, these companies generally face new challenges: First, the increase in costs, so that the pressure on the traditional industry increased; Second, these companies originally do more markets in Europe and America, Europe and the United States market is now sluggish, plus *** appreciation As a result, export pressure has increased. If these companies cannot maintain their presence in Dongguan, they cannot do so in the Pearl River Delta and have a great impact on Hong Kong." Jiang Ling said that it is precisely for these reasons that the Dongguan and Hong Kong Offices in Guangdong have been in recent years. A very close relationship has been established and cooperation has helped these companies transform and upgrade.

Guangang will strengthen social worker cooperation. "After changes in the industrial environment, there is still room for discussion on how to change the cooperation methods and cooperation contents," said Jiang Ling.

According to Jiang Ling, the cooperation between Hong Kong and Guangdong, including the cooperation between Dongguan and Hong Kong, will not only help the transformation and upgrading of Hong Kong-owned enterprises in Dongguan, but also actively expand more extensive cooperation, that is, to strengthen other areas outside the industry, such as public services and education in cities. Development, professional services, etc. can all be tried.

How can professional services in Hong Kong provide services to Hong Kong-owned enterprises in Dongguan, and even to other enterprises and citizens in Dongguan? Jiang Ling said that these can all be new explorations.

Jiang Ling said that the next step will be to focus on how Hong Kong's professional services will enter Dongguan and serve the Pearl River Delta through Dongguan and serve the Mainland. Today, the Mainland emphasizes social construction. Hong Kong's social construction work is very basic and many things are worth learning from.

In recent years, social work cooperation between Dongguan and Hong Kong has already begun a very good start. For example, as a social worker, since the previous year, Dongguan has invited Hong Kong social workers to help us supervise and learn from many good Hong Kong social workers.

"In addition to social work, all other aspects related to social construction can also be used for reference." Jiang Ling said, including the economic management of the community.

Enterprises are faced with triple pressures. It will not be easy for Hong Kong-owned enterprises to achieve upgrades and transformations and improve their competitiveness in a short period of time. "For a considerable number of companies, the current difficulties encountered are no less difficult than those encountered during the financial crisis," said Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling analyzed that during the financial crisis, there were only few orders, and there was not much pressure in other areas. However, now there are not only less orders, but also higher production costs and export pressures caused by the appreciation of the ***.

Jiang Ling said that the government has long recognized this issue and how the research can better support it. He believes that in response to the current predicament, enterprises are still fundamentally upgrading and transforming. Enterprises do not improve. It is difficult to cope with current difficulties in accordance with the old model.

Jiangling Field Weapons: For example, to increase automation, reduce labor costs, export companies actively expand the domestic market, increase income to avoid the risk of *** appreciation. Enterprises do their jobs well and the government will actively help them.

“The government is currently studying how to reduce the burden on enterprises and provide more direct support for enterprises. But fundamentally speaking, enterprises do not change their original models and do not change. It is difficult to cope with the current difficulties,” said Jiang Ling.

Zhu Xi stated that he understands the current challenges faced by Hong Kong companies in the new economic environment, and thanks Dongguan for its support for Hong Kong manufacturers. He believed that through the efforts of both parties, he will see a bright future.

“I hope that we can continue to push forward, promote, and deepen cooperation on the basis of the original. The scope of cooperation is getting wider and wider, and cooperation between the two sides will be enhanced and improved,” Zhu said.
