Building a Dream of the Greater Bay Area and Better Integrating It into the Overall Situation of National Development
"The report of the 20th National Congress proposed to promote the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and support Hong Kong and Macao to better integrate into the overall development of the country. I saw my dreams, opportunities, directions, paths, and responsibilities, and I was more sure that my choice was incomparably correct. "Post-90s" Hong Kong youth Guo Weiqiang started a business at Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Dream Factory and won the "Shenzhen Youth May Fourth Medal". "It is hoped that more and more young people from Hong Kong and Macao will integrate into the Greater Bay Area to pursue their dreams, integrate into the overall development of the country with a sense of ownership, and closely link their personal ideals with national rejuvenation." Such youth is the most beautiful! He said.
In the past few days, the governments of the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, community organizations, research institutions, schools, etc. have studied the report of the 20th National Congress by organizing seminars and sharing sessions. Hu Weixing, Director of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Research Center of the University of Macau, said that the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a new measure to promote the new pattern of the mainland's comprehensive opening up in the new era, and it is also a new practice to promote the development of the cause of "one country, two systems". The report of the 20th National Congress will encourage all sectors of Hong Kong and Macao to participate more actively in the development of the Greater Bay Area, and promote a new wave of construction and development in the Greater Bay Area.
"Hong Kong should seize the historical opportunity of national development, make good use of its advantages in system, innovation and technology, and industrial chain, rely on the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Belt and Road, and gain new development momentum in accelerating the construction of a new development pattern in which the domestic cycle is the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promote each other." Shi Lide, president of the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong, said that more than 3,000 member companies of the federation will be encouraged to deeply integrate into the overall development of the country.
"All sectors in Hong Kong and Macao should have a bigger mind and a broader vision, accelerate the pace of integration, and expand the scope of integration." Professor Emeritus of the Department of Economics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Professor Emeritus Lui Dingming, believes that Hong Kong is an important participant, contributor and beneficiary of the "Belt and Road" construction, and has a talent reserve that is familiar with the regional languages, cultures and laws along the route, and has great prospects in many aspects.
Give play to the strengths of Hong Kong and Macao to serve the needs of the country
The report of the 20th National Congress proposed to consolidate and enhance the status of Hong Kong and Macao in the fields of international finance, trade, shipping and aviation, innovation and technology, cultural tourism, and deepen more open and closer exchanges and cooperation between Hong Kong and Macao and other countries and regions.

Vice-President of City University of Macau, Ye Guiping, believes that Macao should seize the opportunity of the construction of the Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone in Hengqin and work with Guangdong to build the Cooperation Zone into a regional development demonstration with Chinese characteristics and highlighting the advantages of the "two systems". In conjunction with major development opportunities such as the "Belt and Road" construction, we will actively promote the construction of "one center, one platform and one base", and promote the further deepening of economic and trade cooperation and people-to-people exchanges between China and Portuguese-speaking countries.
