A tale of Guangzhou and Shenzhen; lessons for Sabah
The author reflects on two visits to Shenzhen and Guangzhou, China, 24 years apart. The first visit in 2001, shortly after Hong Kong and Macau's return to China, offered a glimpse into the early stages of development in these cities. The recent trip in 2025 showcased remarkable transformations in urban development, technology, and infrastructure, highlighting China's commitment to economic growth. The author suggests Sabah, Malaysia, can learn valuable lessons from China's progress in urban planning and economic strategy.
