Localization of industries means the concentration of a particular industry, or a group of related industries, in a certain region.

The flowering of privately owned technology firms in the Pearl Delta is another major element of the emergence of the region's hi-tech industry belt, according to Mr. Lu Ping.

The Pearl River Delta region has become China's most dynamic high-tech new technology development and yields nearly 90% of the province's high-tech exports.

THE Municipal Government recently unveiled a detailed plan to build seven new satellite towns on the outskirts of Shenzhen.

THE developing Shenzhen high-tech zone has already attracted 200 projects with an assigned agreement value of over 15 billion yuan

Pearl Delta hi-tech belt includes six state level and three provincial level hi-tech industry development zones, two state software industry parks

The strong development momentum of high- and new-tech industries has turned the Pearl River Delta into the nation's largest high- and new-tech industrial belt

Once the core cities in the hi-tech belt become saturated, the industry will start spreading to neighboring areas in all directions

There are now more than 20 million cell phone users of China Mobile accounting for one sixth of China Mobile's total.

According to contemporary theory about hi-tech industry belt, the development of a hi-tech belt can be divided into four phases: fledgling, expansion, maturity and decline.
