China's economy has expanded almost 20 times since 1990, when Beijng hosted the 11th Asian Games, the first major international sporting event held in the nation, and Guangzhou saw its gross domestic product rise 11.5 percent last year to 911.3 billion yuan.
"After the Asian Games, Guangzhou's moving toward world city status," said Li Yongning, a professor of economics and sociology at the Guangdong Research Institute for International Strategies in Guangzhou. "The investment for the games helped internationalize and modernize the city."
