Deputies to China's top legislature are gathering in Beijing for the annual session of the National People's Congress, which is set to open on March 5.
Among the topics drawing attention from deputies of the Guangdong delegation is how artificial intelligence can accelerate the integration of manufacturing and services—a shift seen as key to upgrading China's industrial base.
Guangdong boasts one of the most complete manufacturing ecosystems in the world. If you want to build a robot in China, around 70 percent of the core component suppliers are clustered in the Pearl River Delta.
Today, many manufacturers in the province are moving beyond simply selling products. They are selling services—and complete solutions—unlocking new sources of growth.
In this episode of Didi at the Hall, South reporter Liu Xiaodi follows the Guangdong delegation to explore how the province's evolving industrial model reflects a broader push to drive smarter, higher-value growth in China's economy.
