广东省的经济发展为何比全国先走了一步?这是一个海内外经济界十分关注并正在探讨的问题。当然,一个地区的经济发展是该地区的历史条件、文化背景、内外环境和政策体制等多方面因素综合作用的结果。总结广东经济发展的过程,我认为,最重要的经验是各级地方政府的主导作用和市场取向以及两者的结合。 Why is the economic development in Guangdong Province one step ahead of the whole country? This is a issue that is of great concern and is being explored by the economic circles at home and abroad. Of course, the economic development of a region is the result of the combined effect of various factors such as the historical conditions, cultural background, internal and external environment and policy system in the region. To sum up the process of economic development in Guangdong, I think the most important experience is the leading role and market orientation of local governments at all levels and their combination.
