Background

In August 2019, the CCP Central Committee and the State Council decided to support Shenzhen in building a pilot demonstration zone for socialism with Chinese characteristics. In October 2020, the CCP General Office and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Implementation Plan for the Comprehensive Reform Pilot of Shenzhen to Build a Pilot Demonstration Zone for Socialism with Chinese Characteristics (2020-2025)" and issued a notice requiring all regions and departments to implement it. [1] [2] It stated that in the past 40 years, Shenzhen "has dared to take risks, dare to be the first, and work hard, creating a miracle in the history of development and becoming a banner of China's reform and opening up". [1]

Wang Weizhong, the Party Secretary of Shenzhen, said that "Shenzhen companies have never grown up in a smooth sailing", and expressed support for the central government's deployment of Shenzhen to build a model city of a socialist modern power by 2035, saying that Shenzhen will build a model city of a socialist modern power 15 years ahead of the rest of the country. [3]

On October 12, the Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam, announced that she would postpone the delivery of the Policy Address to the Hong Kong Legislative Council on October 14 to lead a delegation to Shenzhen to attend the Shenzhen celebration meeting. [4]

Events

On October 13, 2020, CCP General Secretary and President Xi Jinping visited the Kaifu Culture Exhibition Hall and the Overseas Chinese Letters Museum in the Xiaogongyuan Kaifu District of the Shantou Special Economic Zone, and then visited the streets of the Kaifu District to interact with the public. [5]

At 10:30 am on October 14, 2020, the celebration meeting for the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone began at the Qianhai International Conference Center. The 826 seats filled at the venue symbolized the establishment of the Special Economic Zone on August 26, 1980. [6] Politburo member and Guangdong Party Secretary Li Xi presided over the meeting. Xi Jinping, Vice Premier Han Zheng, Politburo members Ding Xuexiang, Liu He, Chen Xi and Huang Kunming, and the current and former Chief Executives of the Hong Kong and Macau attended the meeting. [7]  Speakers at the meeting included Shenzhen Party Secretary Wang Weizhong, Chen Zhilie, chairman of the Board of Directors of Yanxiong High-tech Group, and Lu Jianxin, Chief Engineer of the South China Region of China Construction Science and Engineering Group. At the end, Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech, [8] proposing "continue to unswervingly follow the path of reform and opening up", [9] saying that "Shenzhen is a wonderful interpretation of socialism with Chinese characteristics on a blank sheet of paper", [10] and summarized " the 40 years of reform and opening up and innovative development of the special economic zones have accumulated ten valuable experiences". [11] [12] That afternoon, Xi arrived at Shenzhen Lianhuashan Park and presented a wreath to the bronze statue of Deng Xiaoping, [13] expressing his high respect and deep remembrance for Deng. [14] [15] This was also the second time since his southern tour in 2012 that he went to Lianhuashan Park to present a wreath to the statue of Deng. [16]

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, the CCP Shenzhen Municipal Committee and the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government decided to commend 40 "innovative and entrepreneurial figures and advanced model figures for the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone".
