Guangdong issued an implementation plan to expand and upgrade its services
sector, directing officials to deepen contacts with Global 500 and China top-100
supply‑chain companies. The plan targets core provincial industries—autos,
energy & chemicals, nonferrous metals, electronic information, building
materials and pharmaceuticals—and emerging sectors including integrated
circuits, new energy storage and offshore wind, with a focus on attracting
headquarters and key projects to plug supply‑chain gaps. It calls for a
cultivation and service mechanism for wholesale and supply‑chain backbone firms,
assistance on market access, financing and business environment issues, and
support for firm scale‑ups. Leveraging Guangzhou and Shenzhen national logistics
hubs and provincewide sea‑air port intermodal links, Guangdong will upgrade
public information platforms for bulk commodities and integrate traditional
wholesale with cross‑border e‑commerce, overseas warehouses and market
procurement to create an online‑offline, domestic‑foreign coordinated
distribution system. The plan strengthens supply‑chain finance—promoting
warehouse‑receipt pledges, order financing and factoring—and encourages
data‑enabled credit enhancement to widen funding channels and cultivate more 10
bln yuan‑level supply‑chain backbone enterprises. It also accelerates digital
transformation of traditional wholesale markets to establish provincial digital
benchmark markets.
