HK pearl of Greater Bay Area
China DailyLI MIN/CHINA DAILY Integration with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has been a top priority of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's government ever since the signing of the framework agreement for deepening cooperation between Guangdong province, and the Macao and Hong Kong SARs in July 2017. As the GBA cities on the mainland become increasingly sophisticated, more Hong Kong residents might wish to move or live there, and commute to Hong Kong on a daily basis. The improvement of transport links, coupled with better medical and schooling facilities in nearby GBA cities, would enable more Hong Kong residents to live comfortably in mainland cities just across the boundary. Given the barriers to the free movement of goods, services, people, capital and data because of Hong Kong's status as a separate customs and immigration area under "one country, two systems", Hong Kong needs to work out how to overcome these constraints to take advantage of the abundant resources of the mainland GBA cities. The key to unlocking the potential of the region lies in working out ways to complement Hong Kong and the mainland GBA cities in their development strategies.
