Dongguan City becomes the battleground for global top IT enterprises

Coco trees are planted in rows in front of the modern buildings connected by overpasses. A fountain in the center of the square spurts refreshing water columns. Modern buildings such as the international conference center, opera house and library stand like a screen opposite the square where the five-star red flag is flying. The surrounding area of the government building of Dongguan City, Guangdong Province is clean and tidy just like in an advanced city.

Dongguan, a "green city" with more than 8 million people, survives on foreign enterprises. Dongguan is standing at the forefront of the tide of reform and opening up, and its economy has maintained an average annual growth rate of more than 20% in the past 20 years. Because of the concentration of foreign enterprises, Dongguan has become the distribution center of the IT industry which determines the world's computer prices.
