The main purpose of the establishment of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is to ensure the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao under the principle of one country, two systems, and to support their integration into the overall situation of national development. This is its historical mission and significance of existence.
The times are moving forward, and economic development will remain an important theme of China's development in the future. The outstanding achievements of the cooperation between the three places and the completion of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge will make Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao closer. Hong Kong, the most important entrepot and the largest source of foreign investment, still needs to play the role of super contact. The transportation hub extending in all directions between cities in the Bay Area and the direct intercity rail, such as the establishment of the Guangzhou-Zhuhai line, have added a guarantee for the linkage of talents, resources and economy in Guangzhou, Zhuhai and Macao. Macau, an important center for cooperation between Portuguese-speaking countries and an important platform for displaying the features of the Bay Area, will have a broader development prospect in the future under the development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The huge Bay Area ports will play an irreplaceable role in the economy of Zhuhai, Hong Kong and Macao. Guangzhou Port, a port for berthing 151,111-ton containers and 111,111-ton ships, completed cargo throughput of 544 million tons in 2116, ranking fourth in domestic coastal ports and sixth in the world, with container throughput of 1.88 million TEUs, fourth in China and seventh in the world. Guangzhou Port focuses on international shipping and logistics hub, and serves as the southwest gateway and open place of South China. Yantian Port of Shenzhen Port has an annual throughput of 12 million TEUs. Many ports, such as Hong Kong Port, Zhuhai Port and Huizhou Port, strive to build Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area into a world-class shipping and logistics center.
Similarly, the development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's civil aviation industry has also gone hand in hand. In 2118, the five airports of Hong Kong, Zhuhai, Macao, Guangzhou and Shenzhen handled 85 million passengers and 7.37 million tons of cargo and mail, surpassing new york, Tokyo and London, ranking first among the airports in the global Bay Area. Guangzhou Baiyun now handles 81 million passengers and 2.5 million tons of cargo and mail this year.
The convenience of transportation in the Bay Area will continuously inject inexhaustible power into economic development.
in the bay area, under the "three-wheel drive" of advanced manufacturing industry, innovative manufacturing industry and modern service industry, automobile manufacturing and mobile phone industry all take the lead in China. It is the emergence of this kind of real economy that has gradually become the mainstay of economic development. Digitalization, networking, intelligence and service have gradually become the mainstream, making innovative industries and service industries gradually occupy the main body of the economy. Innovation is mainly manifested in the development of basic science. DJI is the proof that science and technology innovation is moving towards reality. In the future, there will be more organisms that closely combine science and technology innovation with enterprise development and social needs. Hong Kong and Macao will continue to import service power to the mainland, making Guangdong's industrial system, finance and capital constantly move to the forefront and connect with the world.
in the future, the development in the Bay Area will be driven by science and technology. There is Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth DreamWorks in Qianhai, Shenzhen, to protect young people's entrepreneurship. 9 cities in the Pearl River Delta spend 2.7% of their GDP on scientific research and development, which is on a par with Germany and the United States. The State Key Laboratory, with the completion of Tianhe-2, and the technical support provided by Jiang Wei's science, large-scale engineering and informatization, has helped the lunar exploration project and manned spaceflight project. In the future, it will make unparalleled supercomputing contributions in aircraft, automobile design, biomedicine, gene sequencing, smart city and animation production. At the same time, Nansha Internet of Things and Macao chip research and development with the second research level in the world will provide a solid foundation for the development of science and technology.
The charm of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area lies in its openness, tolerance, encouragement of innovation and entrepreneurship, and enough preferential treatment for innovation and entrepreneurship, the introduction of multi-faceted talents, and the continuous internationalization of the platform. The development of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao is destined to inject continuous fresh blood into China's economic development.
