Guangdong's second "100 billion town" was born. On January 29, Beijiao Town, Shunde District, Foshan City released a news that the town's GDP is expected to exceed 100 billion yuan in 2022, becoming the province's second strong economic town with a GDP of more than 100 billion yuan after Nanhai Shishan Town. Nationwide, there are only four "hundred billion towns", half of which are in Guangdong, and the other two are Yushan Town, Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province and Maotai Town, Huairen City, Guizhou Province. Guangdong's town economy is generally strong, and the top 100 towns in the country are selected only next to Jiangsu, but mainly distributed in the Pearl River Delta, with Dongguan and Foshan in the majority. Experts believe that as Guangdong accelerates the promotion of the "high-quality development project of hundreds of counties, thousands of towns and thousands of villages", the township economy and county economy usher in a major opportunity to accelerate development. If the industrial transformation and upgrading result in "one hundred billion strong towns", the economy will be strong. The development track of Beijiao Town has confirmed this rule without exception. Manufacturing is the background of Beijiao's economy. Led by these two locally born Fortune 500 enterprises (Midea and Biguiyuan), Beijiao has formed multiple industrial clusters including smart home appliances, high-end equipment, robots and so on. In the household appliance industry, Beijiao started from township enterprises, seized the development opportunities, and built the largest production base of air conditioners, rice cookers, microwave ovens, electric fans, and water dispensers in China. In 2021, the output value of Beijiao household appliance industry will be about 300 billion yuan, accounting for about 10% of the total output value of the national household appliance industry. Another characteristic is the rapid digital transformation. In recent years, Beijiao Town has continuously strengthened the leadership of digital economy and promoted the transformation and development of digital and intelligent manufacturing industry. For example, the Meiqing Industrial Internet Platform in Beijiao was selected as the national "double cross-platform", helping more than 400 manufacturing enterprises to digital transformation, and the Meidi Kitchen Shunde Factory became the second "World Lighthouse Factory" in Foshan. "The biggest secret of the development of Beijiao Town is to constantly promote the industrial transformation and upgrading, and seize the opportunity every time. In his view, Beijiao Town is also good at integrating resources and taking advantage of opportunities. The new urbanization construction and urban-rural integration are better. "Beijiao Town is ambitious and has a broad vision. It is not built as a town, but as a small city." According to the 2021 Comprehensive Competitiveness Report of Towns and Towns (jointly issued by the Competitiveness Think Tank, China Development and Reform News and Beijing Zhongxin Urban Planning and Design Institute and other institutions), Guangdong's top provinces are 41 in Jiangsu, 30 in Guangdong, 9 in Zhejiang and 9 in Shandong Four in Fujian. In terms of quantity, Guangdong is second only to Jiangsu, but in terms of structure, it is highly concentrated, mainly distributed in Dongguan (19) and Foshan (8), and only 3 are distributed in other areas: Xintang Town, Zengcheng District, Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City, and Dongyong Town, Nansha District. "Guangdong's town economy is relatively strong in general, but its distribution is extremely uneven." Chen Hongyu said that in the list of the top 100 towns in China, Guangdong's shortlisted towns are all in the Pearl River Delta, with Dongguan and Foshan as the main cities, which reflects the east and northwest of Guangdong from the side
