In 2023, Quanzhou City's regional GDP exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan, 70% of which was contributed by private enterprises, ranking first in the country. What is Quanzhou’s confidence and “prescription” to build “the first city of private economy”?
On the southeastern coast of China, there is a place called the "Sleepless City". The factories here, unattended 24 hours a day, can produce about 28 million meters of monofilament used to make zippers; The company can produce 4 million toilet sets, 32 million swimsuits, and 600 million clothes hangers every year.

In Quanzhou, the private economy contributes approximately 70% of tax revenue, 80% of regional GDP, and 90% of urban employment and R&D investment.
Cai Shengsheng, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of Quanzhou, Fujian Province: Our biggest feature of cities with manufacturing as the main body is the private economy. After decades of development, we have formed nine 100-billion-dollar industrial clusters including textiles and clothing, footwear, petrochemicals, and electronic information. This should be said to be the foundation and confidence for our development.
Nan'an's stones, Chendai's shoes, Shishi's men's clothing, Dongshi's umbrellas, don't underestimate these pairs of shoes and pieces of clothing. The output value of Quanzhou's textile and clothing industry exceeds 450 billion yuan, and the output value of the shoe industry exceeds 250 billion yuan. It is they that spell out Quanzhou’s trillion-dollar industry map.
Enterprises love to fight and dare to win, but the government is silently supporting them. In 2023, Quanzhou City proposed nine major measures to promote intelligent transformation of enterprises.
Cai Shengsheng, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of Quanzhou, Fujian Province: Traditional industries do not mean that they are backward industries, nor do they mean that they are lagging behind in technology or management. They are also constantly iteratively upgrading and following new changes. In recent years, we have proposed digital technological transformation, focusing on intelligent transformation and digital transformation. At present, among the 7,035 designated industries and enterprises in Quanzhou City, after several years of efforts, 5,400 of them have completed digital transformation and transformation.
Jinjiang Chendai Town is the largest sports shoe industry cluster in the country. There are nearly 7,000 shoe-making companies and supporting companies in this town. The annual production of sports shoes here is enough for every person in China to have one pair.
Some companies need to use a material called EVA to make shoe soles. This material is shock-resistant, heat-insulating, moisture-proof, non-toxic, soft, and elastic. For enterprises, reducing the weight of a shoe by one gram can save 120,000 yuan in material consumption. This raw material comes from Quanzhou Petrochemical.
In 2007, Quanzhou deployed petrochemical smelting in Hui'an. Now, the annual crude oil processing capacity of Quanhui Petrochemical Industrial Park has reached 15 million tons. In addition to EVA, Sinochem Quanzhou Petrochemical in the park has also been conquering new materials needed by the market. Lay out the petrochemical industry and develop new materials to improve the quality and efficiency of Quanzhou's garment, textile and footwear industries, two industries worth hundreds of billions.
Quanzhou has become one of the nine major oil refining bases in China. From a drop of oil to a piece of cloth, to a piece of clothing and a pair of shoes, the "circle of friends in the industrial chain" of symbiosis and win-win has quietly closed the loop.
