After eight years, Macro Polo has ceased operations as the Paulson Institute will focus its independent research on supporting its programs as it continues to diversify its scope.

We appreciate the community that has grown around Macro Polo and the fruitful engagement we’ve had with our legion of smart and sharp audience. You’ve pushed us to deliver even more original work and innovative products. Our body of work speaks for itself, and we hope it will have a long shelf life – that was the intent from MP’s inception.

MP’s website is now archived and no new work will be published henceforth on this site. Please visit www.paulsoninstitute.org for future research and policy work on a range of global issues.

Thank you all for the support over the years, it has been a privilege to have had a home at the Paulson Institute and to have built it the way we did.

The provincial capital of Guangdong and one of China’s three largest cities, Guangzhou has a relatively diversified economy and is a key city in the Pearl River Delta. The city’s major industries include steel, paper, textiles, and industrial equipment manufacturing. It was once known as the end of the maritime Silk Road; today, it serves as a major transportation and manufacturing hub, including one of the newest and largest airports in the country. Guangzhou also regularly hosts national trade fairs, among which the China Import and Export Fair is the largest.

Guangzhou is also one of the most developed and mature metropolitan areas in China. Its public transportation system includes an extensive subway with 13 lines and a Bus Rapid Transit system with over 30 routes. There are about 80,000 foreign nationals living in the city. Because of its relative diversity, the city has a vibrant social life, with nightlife revolving around the Haizhu Square area.
