Quotations
Because it is less reliant on Hong Kong capital, Shunde's industrial product mix differs significantly from that of Dongguan. It is less involved with textiles, toys, and plastics destined for re-export through Hong Kong. Shunde is known throughout China for its high quality domestic appliances, such as fans, refrigerators, rice cookers, sterilizers, washing machines, and air conditioners. China's domestic market is in fact more significant than the world market in Shunde's industrial development.
