The latest research on the global urban industrial competitiveness has witnessed that the developed European and American metropolises are excessively financialized, and the emerging economies are transforming their industrial structures. As for European and American metropolises, the indexes of both industrial structure and industrial sector in each entity of the industrial competitiveness are relatively higher than those of the Asian cities. Besides, top 100 in industrial structure index are basically finance-oriented or science-and-technology-centered cities which are mainly located in Europe, the USA, Japan and India. China has Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing listed on the list. Among the top 100, financial centers take up 52 seats. According to the above survey, the overall industrial competitiveness of European and American cities are stronger than that of Asian cities. Hi-tech industry is the important support. But the financial centers, which take an excessive proportion in the top 100, reveal the fact that European and American economies are subjected to financial excess, which does damage to the real economy. Low indexes of both industrial structure and industrial sector demonstrate that Asian cities are still in the inferior position in the industrial chain so that industrial update and industrial restructure should be promoted. As of now, major booming cities like Shanghai and Beijing have already carried out the industrial restructure. They should grasp the opportunity to elevate their industrial competitiveness in a fast manner.
