Editor's note: This year marks the 10th anniversary of the "Understanding China" International Conference. Over the past decade, Chinese wisdom such as "Great Harmony under Heaven" has promoted the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, the Belt and Road Initiative has provided Chinese solutions for global governance, and the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has continued to showcase China's new practices of reform and development to the world.
At present, the changes in a century are accelerating, and how to solve the new challenges facing global security and development has attracted much attention. From December 1 to 3, the 7th International Conference on Understanding China was held in Guangzhou, and the world's attention once again focused on China's high-quality development. From now on, Nanfang.com and Guangdong Learning Xi Client will launch a series of reports on "Understanding China's New Actions", dialogue with Chinese and foreign guests, explore Chinese wisdom, interpret Chinese solutions, observe Chinese practice, and find Chinese answers to the world's questions together.
Southern Network News (Reporter Li Runfang Zhang Qida) "The stages of development between cities are different, and the gap still exists." Diversity is precisely the biggest advantage of our Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. From December 1st to 3rd, the 7th International Conference on Understanding China was held in Guangzhou. Li Haoran, a member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and director of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Office of China Resources Group, said in an interview with a reporter from the Southern Network that the integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has two cores: the integration of systems and the flow of people. Cultivating strategic industries and building a world-class and competitive bay area is the ultimate goal of the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
I believe that many people have been to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and there are three different building standards in Hong Kong, Macau, and the mainland. Through the principle of merit, one of the highest standards was selected as the standard for the entire bridge. Talking about the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Li Haoran took the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge as an example to reveal that diversity is the biggest feature and advantage of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Li Haoran said that in the face of differences, professional services, social and people's livelihood must first be integrated. For example, the HKU-Shenzhen Hospital allows Hong Kong registered doctors to treat Shenzhen patients in Shenzhen, and finally prescribe a drug order approved by the FDA in the Hong Kong SAR**. "The integration of the system from the basic construction of software is a step forward on the basis of hardware integration, constituting a real integration.
Integration is not the ultimate goal, our ultimate goal is to build a world-class and competitive bay area after integration. Li Haoran said that the world's three major bay areas have their own world-leading industries, such as the financial, manufacturing and education industries in the New York Bay Area, the high-tech industry in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the industrial manufacturing in the Tokyo Bay Area. He believes that the common characteristics of the development of the other three bay areas - having core cities, large-scale infrastructure construction, centralized regional planning, industrial upgrading have brought about the success of strategic industries, and finally the success of industrial industries has made this bay area a world-class bay area.
How can we make the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area an international-level and competitive bay area?Li Haoran believes that it is necessary to cultivate strategic industries with global dominance. At present, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has a complete industrial chain, a large population and a large land area, but the global dominance of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is still relatively weak. Li Haoran said.
