亚太集体崛起！《全球海洋城市竞争力指数报告》发布

Core Viewpoint - The "Global Ocean City Competitiveness Index Report (2025)" reveals a clear four-tier differentiation in global ocean city competitiveness, highlighting the evolving competitive landscape amid profound changes in global ocean governance [1][4]. Group 1: Global Ocean City Competitiveness - The report evaluates 60 global ocean cities based on five dimensions: economic vitality, technological innovation, maritime services, international influence, and urban governance [1]. - The first tier includes cities like London, Singapore, and New York, which are benchmarks for global ocean development, while the second tier features cities such as Shenzhen, Houston, and Copenhagen, which have notable advantages in certain areas but overall lag behind the first tier [4]. - Shenzhen ranks 11th globally, leading in technological innovation (4th) and economic vitality (7th), establishing itself as a core leader in China's southern marine economy [1][4]. Group 2: Economic Growth and Trends - In 2024, China's marine GDP is projected to exceed 10 trillion yuan, accounting for 7.8% of the national GDP, with a growth rate surpassing that of GDP by 0.9 percentage points [6]. - The report indicates a significant rise of Asia-Pacific cities, with Chinese cities like Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Qingdao emerging as key players in global marine competition [5]. Group 3: Future Directions and Strategies - The report emphasizes that the true competitiveness of ocean cities lies in constructing a triad of "hard infrastructure + soft rules + new ecology" [7]. - It proposes four pathways for enhancing global marine competitiveness: building an open economic ecosystem, fostering technological innovation, deepening global governance participation, and innovating green low-carbon models [7][8]. - The focus on technological integration, such as deep-sea equipment and smart port navigation, is crucial for cities like Shenzhen to achieve their strategic goals [10].
