Currently, there are four major cooperation platforms between Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area: Qianhai in Shenzhen, Hengqin in Zhuhai, Nansha in Guangzhou and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Loop. Their development plans have been released. The development of each region is different. Do you know their current situation?
Hong Kong has always been a bastion of neoliberalism. In order to create a level playing field, the government rarely actively intervenes in the market. The government has locked fiscal expenditure at 20% of GDP. Even though the expenditure has increased slightly in recent years and has slightly broken this golden rule, it still adheres to the "big market, small government" principle. Constrained by governance philosophy and financial resources, Hong Kong has never had a strong industrial policy and can only passively expect the business community to respond to the government's vision. Li Jiachao issued his first "Policy Address" to lead the industrial layout and proactively attract investment, reflecting that the new government will break the inertia of "active non-intervention".

It used to be a habit for Hong Kong people to return to their hometowns for retirement, and there are also housing estates where Hong Kong people live in Zhongshan, Shunde and other places. The living spaces in mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area are comfortable and spacious, and the food and life culture are similar, which attracts many Hong Kong people to go north to live and recuperate. At present, Hong Kong elders can enjoy preferential treatment for the elderly from local residents by presenting Mainland Elderly Cards. The “money goes with everyone” policy provides portable welfare measures so that they do not have to give up Hong Kong’s various subsidies even if they move to the mainland, making the Greater Bay Area an ideal place for retirement.

The outline document for the development of the Greater Bay Area focuses on spatial layout and economic planning. For many ordinary people, it is a top-level design and may not be able to see its meaning. Substantial progress needs to rely on major cooperation platforms such as Shenzhen Qianhai, Zhuhai Hengqin, Guangzhou Nansha and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Loop before the public can see the results. He Lifeng, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, once proposed "targeted selection of major cooperation platforms." The "Qianhai Plan" and "Hengqin Plan" were released last year, and the "Nansha Plan" also caught up this year, with many projects achieving minor successes. .
President Xi Jinping inspected Hong Kong and delivered a speech that became a study book for officials and all walks of life. All previous July 1st speeches, including Xi Jinping's five years ago, have described Hong Kong's return as a great achievement or a great achievement that "will shine in the history of the Chinese nation". This year's change to the "Century of Struggle" led by the Communist Party of China is the first time that the history of Hong Kong is described from the party's perspective. Naturally, it is related to the inclusion of "one country, two systems" in the third "Historical Resolution" of the Communist Party of China at the end of last year. Leaders' speeches are authoritative materials for interpreting the central government's policies. It is worth comparing Xi's two speeches to consider their implications for the "one country, two systems" policy.

Geopolitical undercurrents are constantly rising amid the competition between China and the United States. Hong Kong affairs are often exploited by unscrupulous politicians, and the implementation of one country, two systems is often blamed. Western countries have repeatedly played the "Hong Kong card" on the rule of law and freedom of speech, threatening the imminent collapse of its status as an international financial center. In fact, they are gradually marginalizing Hong Kong and using it as a bargaining chip to contain China. It can be seen from this that the reputation of "one country, two systems" plays an important strategic role in the country's diplomatic landscape.

Immigration is an eternal topic among Hong Kong people. A recent poll found that one in four people planned to immigrate, a slight increase from half a year ago. Coincidentally, Democratic Thought also released a poll last month, and the willingness to immigrate dropped significantly compared to half a year ago. The two surveys rose and the other fell. Many people asked the author how to interpret it. What is even more curious is who is more accurate?
