Forming New Quality Productivity and Stimulating New Energy in the Bay Area
2024-03-14
This year marks the fifth anniversary of the release and implementation of the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. In the past five years, the development of the Greater Bay Area has been advancing rapidly, with more coordinated regional development, smoother flow of factors, and gradually emerging innovative momentum. The goal of building an international first-class bay area and world-class urban agglomeration is moving from a blueprint to reality. During the two sessions of the National People's Congress, many NPC deputies and CPPCC members from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao were concerned about the development of the Great Bay Area. They believed that the Great Bay Area could continue to improve in regional integrated development, scientific and technological collaborative innovation and other aspects to accelerate the development of new quality productivity and boost high-quality development and Chinese path to modernization. On March 1st, the Hengqin Guangdong Macao Deep Cooperation Zone was officially closed and put into operation to accelerate the integration of the Bay Area. From then on, goods, personal luggage, and mailing items entering Hengqin from Macau can be tax-free if they meet certain conditions. "This provides convenience for Macau residents to travel to Hengqin for learning, living, entrepreneurship, and employment, which is conducive to accelerating the integration of Hengqin and Macau," said Wu Xiaoli, National People's Congress representative and President of the Macau Neighborhood Association Federation. How to extend social services in Macau to Hengqin and deepen the integration of Macau in the field of people's livelihood is a concern for Wu Xiaoli. She suggested building a new pattern of social services and community governance in Qin'ao under the mechanism of joint consultation, construction, management, and sharing, and improving the relevant mechanisms for participating in community governance and social services in mainland China; Explore the cross-border information sharing and interconnectivity of Qinhuangdao data, promote more Macau social organizations to participate in the construction of Hengqin and the Greater Bay Area, and support Macau primary, secondary, and early childhood schools to operate in Hengqin. Over the past five years of construction in the Greater Bay Area, transportation infrastructure has been continuously improved, convenient customs clearance measures have been introduced, and rules and mechanisms have been optimized and connected. Professionals from various industries such as teachers, physicians, and lawyers in Hong Kong and Macao have obtained qualifications to practice in mainland China. The three regions of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao have jointly announced 110 "Bay Area Standards"... All of these have laid the foundation for the flow and allocation of elements in the Greater Bay Area and the development of regional integration. Hu Jianjiang, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and executive member of the Hong Kong Economic and Livelihood Alliance, saw that the Greater Bay Area has integrated nine cities in Hong Kong, Macao, and Guangdong into a large-scale and resource rich regional economy. The construction of the Greater Bay Area has further improved the level of regional integration, promoted industrial cooperation, and talent mobility. Based on the overall development of the Greater Bay Area, Hu Jianjiang suggests jointly building smart cities, industrial brains, and public data pools in the Greater Bay Area, promoting the interconnection of urban systems in the Greater Bay Area, improving local social livelihoods, and promoting industrial and economic development. "In recent years, Macau has had close exchanges with mainland cities, and many Macau residents have come to mainland cities to study and buy properties." Zhang Zongzhen, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a member of the Administrative Committee of the Macao Special Administrative Region Government, suggested using technology to empower convenient customs clearance, further simplifying the customs clearance procedures for vehicles in Macau, and implementing the maximum convenience of customs clearance for people and vehicles in Macau, Hong Kong, Macau, and Macau. "The idea of building Hengqin needs to be further opened up, achieving the integration of Qinhuangdao and Macao that is in line with Macao and the international community." Zhang Zongzhen said that based on high standard international economic and trade rules such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement, we will explore the management of cross-border service trade lists, and build Hengqin into a model room and demonstration zone for institutional openness. Utilize advantages to achieve collaborative innovation. Zhanjiang has excellent ports and Maoming has a complete petrochemical industry,
