Shenzhen's Evolution: A Catalyst for Global Inspiration
Shenzhen recently hosted the APEC Informal Senior Officials' Meeting and will be the venue for the 2026 APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting. Kishore Mahbubani, Singapore's former UN ambassador, returned to the city, praising its rapid development. He noted that Shenzhen's transformation from rice fields to an urban skyline rivals global cities, offering inspiration worldwide.
Mahbubani highlighted Shenzhen's shift from basic manufacturing to advanced technology, exemplified by electric vehicle maker BYD. Founded three decades ago, BYD now spans 116 countries. This reflects Shenzhen's broader industrial evolution.
Celebrating its 45th year as a special economic zone, Shenzhen is seen as a model for China's development, benefiting from integrated services and policy support. Mahbubani emphasizes Shenzhen's role in fostering innovation and attracting industries, suggesting its rapid progress could inspire global development strategies.
