On August 18th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on supporting Shenzhen's pre -demonstration zone with Chinese characteristics to build a pre -demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics; followed by August 20, the Shanghai Performance Zone Lingang New Terminal District announced the unveiling.What signals did these messages release in the current situation of the Hong Kong parade and many people questioning the situation of one country and two systems?Observer.com interviewed Li Xiaobing, an associate professor at the School of Law of Nankai University to interpret the New Deal.

Observer.com: On August 18, the State Council supported Shenzhen to build a pre -demonstration zone of socialism; on August 20, the Shanghai Period New Terminal area of the Shanghai Free Trade Pilot Zone announced the unveiling.These two messages have overlapped the recent situation in Hong Kong, so what signals are revealed behind this?What is the demonstration area of the first demonstration area?Who is demonstrated?

Li Xiaobing: As early as February 18 this year, the country issued the development plan of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area. The documents in Shenzhen's pre -demonstration zone in the construction of a socialist pre -demonstration zone were actually in the same vein. This plan in Shenzhen was by no means a temporary intention, but for a long time.On the basis of the development plan of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, the newly released opinions can be said to be a new positioning to Shenzhen. This is the long -term idea of the central government.Shenzhen has the advantages that Hong Kong, Macao and the Mainland (mainland) other cities do not have. At present, Shenzhen's development trend, urban spirit, and development speed and quality are in line with the current national strategic direction.

In contrast, Hong Kong's foundation is very good, the foundation is good, and it also has the heavy responsibility of undertaking many national strategic development goals.However, in the specific implementation process, Hong Kong is avoided in some aspects, such as its own positioning and vague roles. This is actually very fatal. This is also an important reason for the governance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region today.In fact, now it is the historical timing of Hong Kong to play its own role and achieve a breakthrough, but the result is caught in internal consumption. This also gives us a great alert.Disglement.

Therefore, the policy of building Shenzhen into a pre -demonstration zone of socialism can be described as deep.But it cannot be simply believed that the role of Hong Kong will be completely replaced by Shenzhen.In fact, everyone has made their own efforts and cooperates together to achieve a height of development; history has chosen Hong Kong, and history has also chosen Shenzhen.Both have both cooperation and competition.

In the other level, we must also pay attention to the opening of the construction of the Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge to the opening of the deep and middle channels in the future. It is a comprehensive decision made by the central government.We can't think of granted that Hong Kong will be in the future and what is Shenzhen in the future.In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge, it was also preparing to build a channel for Shenzhen. Hong Kong, Australia, Pearl, and Shenzhen were connected, but later it closed the Shenzhen one.Although this idea has not been implemented, it is now preparing to build a Shenzhen -Middle Channel to connect Shenzhen and Zhongshan. It is across the Lingyu and Zhujiangkou in the north of the Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge.This shows that the country's future development plan is by no means simply determining the centered on a certain city, but to allow the places to develop parallel and cooperate in competition.

The point is that the country's development to today. Whether the development of a region can be consistent with the national development strategy and the current cutting -edge world industry development, so as to release more development potential.In recent years, the transformation of Shanxi, Northeast, and some areas in the Mainland has not been very successful. This is not because the country does not attach importance to it, but because in this era, it has not captured the fleeting historical opportunities and the basic requirements of the previous mentioned earlier.

The same is true of Hong Kong.Hong Kong's industrial advantages are positioned in four centers, trade, finance, shipping and international aviation hubs, the most important advantages of which are finance.At present, the mainland is constantly setting up free trade zones, from Hainan to Shanghai, and so on.The central government also put forward new requirements for the financial development of Shenzhen and other places.

Li Xiaobing: Yes.Shenzhen has many advantages, the city is short, the population structure is younger, and the environment is in good innovation. Besides, the development accumulation of the past forty years has also given Shenzhen a kind of city spirit that strives to surpass positive and aggressive, and support its sustainable development.Now Hong Kong is more than conservative and insufficient power.Many Hong Kong industry leaders no longer plan for further development, but hope to enjoy it.Shenzhen is very different, there is a very strong entrepreneurial atmosphere.

In the past, the spirit of Lion Rock in Hong Kong was the spirit of refining in the four small dragon era in Asia.However, today's Hong Kong is somewhat depressed and twilight, lacks self -cognition and self -positioning, and even fall into self -sinking and unable to extricate themselves. This will only hinder its own potential and achieve greater development.Hong Kong's Oriental Pearl should be continuously brightened on the world stage. Now, because of the internal social disorderly street violence upgrade, it has obtained a lot of attention internationally, which is obviously upside down.

Hong Kong should be able to take it out if you have the ability to have confidence. Relying on your own industries and brands to lead the world and occupy the heights, use high -quality higher education resources in the SAR to cultivate more intellectual elites, economic elites, science and technology elites, and political elites to the world.Economically, we must be able to challenge New York, London, and Singapore to develop its advantages and models beyond them.In this way, not only do we have confidence, but the confidence of Hong Kong citizens, young people, and industry will naturally emit out.

However, now Hong Kong's industry has insufficient confidence in the industry and the SAR government has limited governance methods. These have led to Hong Kong people's lack of understanding of Hong Kong itself, the country, and the world change, and even trapped into a trap of a discourse system.The trend of the other.

Observer.com: The content you mentioned above is reminiscent of the problems of one country, two systems.Recently, some scholars believe that Shenzhen to build a socialist leading demonstration zone means that the practice of one country and two systems will have some adjustments in the next country.Develop experience.What do you think about this?

Li Xiaobing: Our ideal state is benign interaction.This year is Macau's 20 years of returning. It has ushered in a history of 20 years in Hong Kong and Macao. We need to comprehensively review and deeply sort out valuable experiences and lessons since the implementation of the two systems.I personally think that we are not doing enough in this regard.In addition, a critical point can be mentioned in practice, that is, it is determined to be separated at the beginning of the return of Hong Kong and Macao. By the present, the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Region and the Mainland must be transformed into integrated development.This is a difficult transformation.

For the industrial and social elites of the SAR, even the preparations for integrating the overall national development situation.At the stage of the country's development today, Hong Kong has to consider how to keep up with the country's development, instead of simply adopting its past development achievements and some traditional roles and positioning.Now the national development has shown a qualitative leap, which can be said to be the same year.The practice of one country, two systems has also gradually stepped from the attempt to exploration at the beginning of the regression to the time of the transformation of major historical transformation. The introduction of the development plan of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area is an iconic document.

To put it simply, how Hong Kong has learned from the Mainland's experience in the mainland, from the upper reaches of the industrial vertical division of labor in the past, to today's gradually parallel development and cooperation competition.In this case, the practice of one country, two systems can not simply implement the provisions of the Basic Law. Instead, it is necessary to creatively implement the basic law and solve the development problems of the development of the Basic Law. It also needs to launch cooperation in industrial structure adjustment, social governance, regional governance and other aspectsEssenceIn the past, we always said that Hong Kong is a city of rule of law and has the tradition of rule of law. However, if you look closely, you will find that an important issue in the practice of the rule of law in the SAR, that is, he has not been able to take care of the balance of freedom and order.From a certain perspective, Hong Kong is sandwiched between the Mainland and the world, and the relationship with the two must be coordinated. For example, in the past, Hong Kong was an important part of the European and American industrial chain, but now the mainland has participated in globalization.The degree is getting deeper and deeper, so Hong Kong must switch and balanced, otherwise it will fall into the state of the head and butt separation. In fact, it is also a manifestation of inaccurate positioning and looking forward to it.

Some people in Hong Kong now ask for MDASH; mdash; look at Beijing, but there are still many people's eyes still staring at London, but they don't look at London.This is a dilemma that Hong Kong's own development must break through.

Observer.com:In the opinion area of the demonstration area, it is proposed that the residents of Hong Kong and Macao in Shenzhen are treated with citizens, and it is intended to encourage young people in Hong Kong to go north. Do you think this policy can achieve its purpose?But on the other hand, the positioning of the Greater Bay Area emphasizes scientific and technological innovation. Can this meet these requirements for some young people in Hong Kong?What are they need to prepare?

Li Xiaobing: In some ways, Hong Kong's preparation is still insufficient.In the past, many industries in the Mainland were in the low -end downstream of the industrial chain. Today, many places in the Mainland have actually achieved industrial upgrading and emergence of exotic forces with their strength.Reshape and become an industrial agglomeration center.For example, Dongguan, from the past cities that are mainly proxy and processing, have become the world's manufacturing center city.Shenzhen has also become a world -class science and technology innovation center from the past.These cities have transformed quietly.

But Hong Kong did not expect the development of this situation to be so rapid.Some of the development of some cities in Guangdong have surpassed Hong Kong, and some industries in Hong Kong itself have gradually shifted to Guangdong, and Hong Kong cannot keep up with the rhythm of world development in science and technology.Now Shenzhen has promoted the development of the Shenzhen -Hong Kong Luimazhou River. If it is smoothly carried out, Shenzhen will take a big step forward, so history is rare, and Hong Kong's mental state must be changed.Waiting to become a burden, adhering to the existing home property and interest pattern, and habit of lying on counting money will make Hong Kong people unable to see the future direction.

Hong Kong's deep -level problems were not caused by Beijing and the Mainland, but caused by the solidification of existing local interests, but now it is completely wrong to point the finger at the Mainland.I think that Hong Kong's profound reflection may go through three stages. The first stage is self -contribution, and the second stage must be abandoned, but the final stage must be self -improved.For example, in the middle period, Hong Kong proposed to develop science and technology innovation and establish an innovation bureau. The country supports Hong Kong to develop science and technology and has high expectations for the Science and Technology Bureau.Breakthrough, what are the things?Including President Xi reply to the academicians of Hong Kong colleges last year, scholars proposed the project to fight for funds. At that time, the central government immediately implemented these requirements, but what was the result?Therefore, it cannot be said that the central government has not assisted in the development of Hong Kong.How far can Hong Kong go in the end, it is necessary to rely on how proactive it is, whether it can adapt and grasp the unchanged situation in the current century.

Observer.com: The key you mentioned was very critical. At that time, President Xi really responded to the letter from Hong Kong academicians.

Li Xiaobing: We did implement it quickly. On the basis of the four centers of Hong Kong, the central government immediately set up the role of the international innovation center to Hong Kong, and wrote this into the development plan of the Greater Bay Area.Young people in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region must have the ability to think independently and to distinguish between right and wrong, but also have real practical ability. They cannot simply think that there is a voting right, and the problems of Hong Kong have been solved. These problems in Hong Kong are solved; these are actually many countries.With the road that the region has gone, as long as you look back at the dilemma of governance in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa countries and regions, you can understand this truth.Therefore, the role is unclear and the positioning is inaccurate, resulting in the continuous internal consumption of Hong Kong.

Observer.com: I noticed that you put forward a point of view after the news in Shenzhen came out, which is not the central government's abandonment of Hong Kong.This may be even more important when the emotions of the two places are relatively fierce and the economic performance of unstable economic situation in Hong Kong.Recently, some voices believe that Hong Kong does not need to be arrogant. Shenzhen and Shanghai can replace Hong Kong, but the problem is that Hong Kong has a very important identity is free Hong Kong.At present, the volume and openness of Shanghai or Shenzhen cannot be compared with Hong Kong.So, can you interpret the point of not abandoning the view of Hong Kong in depth?

Li Xiaobing: Hong Kong is irreplaceable. In the future for a long time, this advantage will still be released.Hong Kong must understand the opportunities of history and its own advantages.The main problem now is that the whole society in Hong Kong must be deeply provinced.SAR governance is not simply pursuing political reform and dual elections, but in Hong Kong society to achieve comprehensive transformation.Whether it can continue to surpass.

The central government also considers this problem.For the Macau Special Administrative Region, the central government proposes that the industry must be moderate to diversify, and it cannot be ignored because the powerful gaming industry can continue to bring financial resources, and ignore the problem that the economy relies on to the city.Just as Hong Kong has indeed achieved great achievements in the financial industry and real estate industry, but it is also trapped, so it is urgent to adjust the industrial structure.The country's proposal in the construction of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area is actually allowing Hong Kong and the Mainland to play their respective advantages. For example, Hong Kong's service industry channels and high -end talents are absorbed.How to play in the stage is more extreme.One sentence popular on the Internet is that we cannot wake up a person who pretend to sleep. Maybe some Hong Kong people now have realized this problem. They gradually realized that the problem in Hong Kong is mainly due to self -transformation and re -positioning in the moment.Falling internal consumption and lingering state.

Observer.com: You just mentioned the relationship between the first -line demonstration area and one country and two systems. If you do it well in this regard, it may even have a radiation effect on the Taiwan region in the future.Famous.

Li Xiaobing: This is a question I just wanted to talk about.Our understanding of one country, two systems must not be simply understood as the practice in Hong Kong and Macao. Taiwan is unwilling to accept it.The design, development, and practice of one country, two systems are open, and need to continue to achieve breakthroughs and development in continuous creative practice, and push one country, two systems to greater success.In the past, we studied the two systems that were too focused on Hong Kong and Macao, especially the practice of the Basic Law of Hong Kong and Macau, but now we find that this thinking and vision is actually too narrow.The practice of one country, two systems must also follow the trend of the world and the rhythm of the country's development continuously expanding and transforming, from the high autonomy of the Hong Kong and Macao Special Economic Zone to the construction of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, and the linkage between Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

In fact, at the beginning of this year, the itinerary design of the Mayor of Kaohsiung, South Korea ’s Yukang, Australia, Shenzhen, and Xiamen was very special. Like he saw the linkage between Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the Mainland.Both high -quality resources in these places can be used. After the agricultural products of Taiwan, the consumer market in Hong Kong and Macao, and the integration of international channels and the Mainland, this area will form a highland of national development in the future, and this game will be alive.In fact, in fact, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are separated and disassembled with each other. Just like go to Go, there is no real continuous line, and the advantage has not been fully released.That's what the country and the central government are more worried.In the past, we emphasized separation of the two systems, so three customs areas have formed. If this separation is necessary in the past, then we must now open the separation and fully realize the freedom of personnel, funds, materials, information and other elements.Circulation, but now that Hong Kong and Macao and the Mainland are not yet fully realized, this is abnormal.

The Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area must break the segmentation, and the construction of the Shenzhen Pioneer Demonstration Zone is to allow Shenzhen to play a pioneer in this regard and act as actual as a historical responsibility.

Observer.com: Last year was the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up. In 1980, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was officially established; from the special zone test fields of the SARs nearly 40 years ago to the current socialist pre -demonstration zone, it is actually a huge driving force for Shenzhen itself.Where do you think the difference is?What changes will be brought in different positioning in the future?

Li Xiaobing: Shenzhen's confidence in the sense of history, the sense of the times, and the rhythm of development will be more sufficient. This is based on the foundation and basis of the past development.For example, the city of Tianjin, the country, has also given a lot of support in the past, but in recent years, it has not been able to seize the opportunity to develop industrial upgrades to a considerable level, and the current impulse is not so great.In 40 years, Shenzhen has continued to create miracles. We also have reason to believe that it can continue to create miracles. This time it is a historical choice to obtain a socialist pre -demonstration zone;Seize this historical opportunity.

Finally, on the practical issue of one country, two systems, we must break through some of the constraints of existing ideas.In my opinion, the transformation of the practice of one country, two systems must shift from the original strategic defense to a strategic offense; the defense is to use the separation method, and the separation is beneficial to me. Otherwise, we may absorb or suppress us before we develop.It's time to consider changing.

Of course, this major historical transformation also means to face a more open world, dare to compete with the world, and be brave to win in competition, especially in the current period of complex changes in Sino -US relations.In the future, you are not simple to play you. I play me, but you must integrate the best resources of both parties, but the integration process is not one overnight. Brothers climb and work hard.This is why the central government put forward this idea at this historical stage.

The central government is by no means simply allowing Shenzhen to replace Hong Kong. The policy of introducing this policy is to make the trend and the icing on the cake. At the same time, let the localities bear new historical responsibilities.In the process, we should be the result orientation, adopt the route of realism, and the pragmatic development of the solid foundation. As the development of China in recent years, the reshape of the world pattern has never been based on anyone imagination, butIt is the achievement of China's 40 years of reform and opening up established China's position in the world today.
