摘要
China＇s rapid economic development is embodied in the Pearl River Delta （PRD）, the country＇s export powerhouse. Due to economic reforms in the 1980s and its close proximity to the financial power of Hong Kong, the PRD has today become the world＇s leading manufacturing center. However, the region＇s rate of economic growth has significantly slowed recently, due to limited resources and shortages in labor power and skilled workers, among other reasons. CIB examines how these new problems and the growing competitiveness of other regions in China are now pushing the PRD to rethink its current mode of development.
