After the development of the development plan of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, all sectors of Hong Kong responded enthusiastically.There are two main purpose of planning: first, give full play to the comprehensive advantages of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and enhance the role of the Greater Bay Area in the economic development and opening up of the Greater Bay Area.Stability, clarifying the strategic positioning of the development of the Greater Bay Area is the construction of a world -class urban agglomeration, an international scientific and technological innovation center with global influence, and a high -quality living circle with livable, livable, and well -being traveled.Hong Kong and Macau in -depth cooperation demonstration zone.
For many years, Hong Kong has used the trade and logistics, financial services, industrial and commercial support and professional services, and tourism industry as the economic pillar industry. The society has been discussing the transformation of Hong Kong's economy, but it has not found a clear direction of development.In recent years, the global economic situation has undergone drastic changes: the rise of the Chinese mainland economy and the rapid development of mainland cities. At the same time, globalization has shown signs of backsturming, and trade protectionism has become increasingly serious.EssenceThis time, the Greater Bay Area planning, based on the different advantages of Hong Kong and other cities in the Mainland, achieve complementary advantages, jointly promoted the sustainable development of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao urban agglomeration, and created a historic development opportunity for Hong Kong.
Regional city division of labor Hong Kong positioning clearly
Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen are the four major central cities in the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area.The plan mentioned the positioning of each city, each with division of labor mdash; mdash;
Hong Kong: Consolidate and enhance the status of international finance, shipping, trading centers, and international aviation hubs to create a more competitive international metropolis;
Macau: Building a World Tourism and Leisure Center, China and Portuguese -speaking business cooperation service platform;
Guangzhou: National Central City, comprehensively enhance the functions of the International Trade Center and Comprehensive Transportation Hub, cultivate and enhance the function of the science and technology education and culture center, and strive to build an international metropolis;
Shenzhen: National economic center cities and accelerate the establishment of modern international cities, and strive to become an innovative and creative capital with world influence.
The expressions of the four major central cities reflect the development goals of various municipal governments and have a certain division of labor in terms of function.The expression of Hong Kong's positioning is also very in line with the expectations of all walks of life, which also implies the opportunities and possible competition of urban cooperation.Hong Kong can play a significant role in the cultivation of Guangzhou Cultivation and Promoting Science and Technology Education and Culture Center (such as the Hong Kong Science and Technology University of Science and Technology) and the capital to build an international city and the capital of innovation and creativity (such as the Hong Kong Shenzhen Innovation and Science and Technology Park) of the Luo Mazhou River.Guangzhou strengthens the function of comprehensive transportation hubs and further develops Guangzhou Airport and Guangzhou Port. Hong Kong International Airport needs to accelerate development and consolidate the status of international aviation hubs.
Need to solve the system supporting problem
The planning of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area is based on the overall interests of the Greater Bay Area, emphasizing strengthening the cooperation between cities between the Greater Bay Area, and working together to build a world -class urban agglomeration, which involves many specific cooperation.For Hong Kong, it mainly uses the use of the Greater Bay Area to provide further development opportunities for enterprises and citizens in Hong Kong, and also provides opportunities for the further development of the Hong Kong economy.There are already a lot of discussions in cooperation, mainly including several aspects, one is to further stabilize Hong Kong's center of finance, shipping, trade, and aviation hubs.potential.
The second aspect is that Hong Kong enterprises and citizens start their own business development, work and residence in the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area. There are many system supporting and arrangements that need to be resolved.Including education, medical care, housing, social security pension, etc.
If Hong Kong people live and work in the Greater Bay Area for a long time, in theory, they should receive all the same treatment of mainland residents, so that they can work in the Greater Bay Area with peace of mind.At the same time, the Hong Kong Government should continue to support Hong Kong people who work and live in the Mainland; the design of the return to the hometown also needs to be upgraded, so that it can use various electronic services (such as purchasing high -speed rail tickets or direct multiplication of high -speed rail tickets or directly multiplied by the mainland resident ID card.Take the high -speed rail).
The third aspect is the interoperability of the city of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.Hong Kong is a small and populous city.The Pearl River Delta in Guangdong has a large population and a vast hinterland.Therefore, when the flow of people and traffic between the two places, the two places should not be a completely equal flow arrangement.You can use the relatively large hinterland of the Pearl River Delta to provide more open measures to Hong Kong, such as allowing Hong Kong to freely travel.Just like now, Hong Kong citizens can use the home return permit to enter and leave the Mainland freely. Mainland residents have entered Hong Kong through certain regulations.In this way, it can play the greatest role and reduce the negative impact on Hong Kong.
Need to avoid vicious competition between cities
In terms of cooperation in Chuangke, many cooperations can be carried out in the Pearl River Delta cities in the Greater Bay Area, but many exchanges and cooperation activities also need to be carried out in Hong Kong, especially in Hong Kong Shenzhen Innovation and Science and Technology Park in the Luimazhou River.In order to facilitate the exchanges or short -term cooperation in Hong Kong in the Mainland, we need to provide convenient entry in Hong Kong arrangements for mainland professionals. When necessary, you can quickly apply for endorsement and go to Hong Kong.
However, competition between cities will continue.Be healthy competition to support, each city enhances its own strength, and then give play to the director; it is necessary to avoid vicious competition, or to start with the interests of other cities as the starting point.The Greater Bay Area needs to coordinate the development of various cities as a whole.From the perspective of the planning content of the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou are developing ports and airports. It is necessary to make reasonable arrangements from the national level, the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, so that the aviation services in the Greater Bay Area can further improveAt the same time, it will not cause excessive investment and unnecessary surplus capabilities.
