Guangzhou, a bustling economic hub in South China's Guangdong Province, is setting a new standard for urban development by streamlining grassroots governance. Recent reforms have reduced bureaucratic burdens, allowing local officials to focus on supporting businesses and driving efficiency—a shift that underscores China's broader push for high-quality, sustainable growth.
In one sub-district, officials now dedicate 70% of their time to direct engagement with enterprises, according to CGTN reporter Zheng Songwu. This hands-on approach has helped hundreds of businesses optimize operations, from manufacturing upgrades to digital transformation. 'The changes reflect a bottom-up strategy to strengthen economic resilience,' Zheng noted during his field investigation.
