When Hong Kong actively carried out the "grabbing talent" plan, the director of labor and Li Li, Sun Yuzheng, visited Singapore to communicate with our dignitaries on attracting talents on attracting talents, and described Singapore as a "pioneer" in this area.He said that Singapore and Hong Kong will inevitably have competition, but each has its own advantages and complementary spaces, which can strengthen cooperation and enhance the attractiveness of Asia.
Sun Yuzheng visited Singapore from January 4th to 8th. He met with Ma Shangao, the Minister of Human Manpower and the Second Minister of Trade and Industry, and Ma Shangao, the Minister of Social and Family Development and Second Minister of Health.He also visited re -training facilities such as SKILLSFUTURE and School of Technology Education (ITE) to learn more about Singapore officials with more guarantees for platform personnel of the zero -working economy.
Sun Yuzheng accepted the joint Morning Post and the Strait Times on Friday (January 6) that Hong Kong and Singapore and other parts of the world are facing a shortage of talents.He said that the labor population in Hong Kong has lost 140,000 people in the past two years, about two -thirds of which are high -skills and high -quality talents."If Hong Kong wants to come up with a more effective and positive method to make up for this gap."
Sun Yuzheng described that Singapore is a "pioneer" in attracting talents. There are many effective measures. I hope to further understand the situation through communication with Singapore officials.
The Hong Kong Government launched a number of talent introduction programs for the loss of talents last year, such as the "High -end Talent Public Permit Plan", and set the goal of attracting 35,000 talents to Hong Kong for development each year.
The reaction after launch of the high -end talent pass is beyond expectations
Sun Yuzheng revealed that since its launch on December 28 last year, the high -end talent pass has been introduced beyond expectations, reflecting Hong Kong's competitiveness. As of January 6, nearly 3,800 applications have been received, and about 60%have been approved.
Sun Yuzheng said that the talents that Hong Kong hopes to recruit mainly revolves around the eight areas that support Hong Kong's development in the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan", especially the fields of innovation and technology.He said that the current founding industry in Europe and the United States is facing low tide, and the talents of Chuangke may be considering staying in Europe and the United States to develop.
He believes that talent values opportunities. With the liberalization of epidemic control in Hong Kong and the mainland, the advantages of Hong Kong's "back to the motherland and Unicom world" will be clearer, and the growth trend of the mainland will become a huge driving force.
After Hong Kong broke out in 2019, Beijing implemented the Hong Kong National Security Law the following year.Many Hong Kong and international media have reported that the change in Hong Kong's political environment is one of the reasons why a large number of Hong Kong people moved to other places.
Sun Yuzheng did not respond directly to whether the above -mentioned factors caused the loss of talents in Hong Kong.However, he emphasized that the black violence incident in 2019 caused a great impact on the rule of law and stability of Hong Kong. The National Security Law reshaped the stable and secure environment and made foreign talents more assured to develop in Hong Kong.
After outbreak of the crown disease, the Hong Kong government followed Beijing in terms of epidemic prevention policies.Some public opinion believes that this reflects that Beijing has gradually strengthened the "one country" in Hong Kong and weakened the "two systems". Hong Kong is in the predicament of the "one country, two systems".
Sun Yuzheng disagreed with the above view, and he emphasized that the prevention measures of the two places were not completely consistent.
He said that Hong Kong and the mainland are closely complementary. People are looking forward to customs clearance with the mainland. At the same time, Hong Kong is also an international city and has a lot of connections with foreign countries."Hong Kong's epidemic prevention must take care of both sides, which is a bit different from Singapore and what everyone sees."
New port complementary areas are more than competition
Xingang is also an international financial center and has always been regarded as competitors by the outside world.According to the Global Financial Center Index compiled by the British Think Tank Z/Yen and Shenzhen Institute of Development in September 2022, Hong Kong's ranking fell from third to fourth, losing the title of Asia's primary financial center; Singapore was promoted to No. 1Three places replaced the position of Hong Kong.This report combines more than 60,000 evaluations from more than 11,000 respondents to make rankings for 119 financial centers worldwide.
When talking about the relationship between New Port, Sun Yuzheng believes that there are both benign competition and complementarity between the two places.He said that new Hong Kong officials concluded that there are actually more complementary areas than competition, and policy makers strive to seek more cooperation in the complementary field.
For example, the market faced by Hong Kong and Singapore is different; those investors who look at the Greater Bay Area will naturally see Hong Kong.If Yajia'an is the main growth area of the business, it should be developed in Singapore.
Sun Yuyu believes that to improve the complementarity between the two places, the political, business and civil exchanges must return to the level before the epidemic.He predicts that with Hong Kong's reunion with the world, exchanges in this area will be more frequent and complementary areas are expected to increase.
In a more macro level, Sun Yuzheng judged that most of the global economic activities in the world will be concentrated in Asia. In addition to competition, New Port should discuss how to highlight the location of the world in the world.He said that this is good for both Hong Kong and Singapore, depending on how the two parties strengthen complementarity.
