On December 1, the story sharing meeting of "Friends in Guangdong-Studying in the Bay Area" was held at the 2023 "Understanding China" International Conference (Guangzhou), organized by the China National Innovation and Development Strategy Research Association and the Guangdong International Communication Center (GDtoday) of Nanfang Press Media Group.
I've been to China more than 100 times over the years, and I'm amazed at how when China sets a goal, it can fight for it until it achieves it. Neil Bush, founder and chairman of the board of directors of the George W. Bush Council on U.S.-China Relations, said he was confident in the realization of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area plan. He observed that China is the center of manufacturing such as technology and electronics, and high-tech manufacturing activities are mainly in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, all of which depend on the orderly planning and efficient implementation of regional development.
Wei Keran, vice president of content of Discovery APT, said that in recent years, Discovery APTVN has told the story of Guangdong's entrepreneurial innovation to the world audience through its coverage of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, "Shenzhen is famous for its basic manufacturing and high value-added products, providing impetus for the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area." ”
Former Belgian Prime Minister Yves Letem said that he recently visited some enterprises in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and found that the development of the past two decades has made it not only a "world factory", but also a place that can be compared with San Francisco and New York.
The first time I came to Guangzhou was in 1972, when Shenzhen was still a quiet fishing village. In the 80s of the last century, Shenzhen became a special economic zone. Talking about his experience in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Mushahid Hussein Said, Chairman of the Defence Committee of the Senate of Pakistan and Chairman of the Pakistan-China Society, said that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will drive economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region due to its regional connectivity and key strategic position.
Li Cheng, founding director of the Centre for China and World Governance at the University of Hong Kong, said: "I think Guangdong is very international, and it only takes 10 minutes to travel from Hong Kong to Shenzhen North by high-speed rail. It would be a great asset to the people of the world if they could recognize the context of development here. ”
At the meeting, the Guangdong International Communication Center (GDtoday) of Nanfang Press Media Group today released the theme activity of "Big V Studying in Guangdong" and announced the highlights of the inspection activities. The event will invite well-known foreign economists who are familiar with China's national conditions to customize an exclusive city visit itinerary to visit key universities, scientific research institutions, characteristic enterprises and relevant departments in Guangdong to explore the practice of Chinese-style modernization in Guangdong.
