Development of Greater Bay Area continues to accelerate
The arrival of key policies and the commissioning of major cross-boundary infrastructure projects saw the acceleration of the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area last year.
In August, the leading group for the development of the Bay Area held its first meeting, strengthening collaboration in science and technology, and issuing measures to offer easier access to a range of services for people from the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions who live on the Chinese mainland.
President Xi Jinping expressed his ambitions for the Bay Area when he met delegations from Hong Kong and Macao in November. He encouraged Guangdong province and the SARs to make institutional reforms under the framework of “one country, two systems” and the Basic Laws, the cities’ constitutional documents.
