[Explanation] The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Carrie Lam said recently that he is studying measures to accelerate the coordinated development of innovation and technology between Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, especially Shenzhen, including the launch of a "joint policy package", which is unreasonably targeted in the United States. The occasion of overseas technology companies and Chinese talents in the Mainland attracts them to return to Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

The SAR government also hopes to provide teaching chairs and resource support to attract overseas scholars so that they can bring topics and graduate students back to do research.

  [Commentary] On October 28, the President of the Open University of Hong Kong, Huang Yushan, in an exclusive interview with reporters, said that he welcomed the measures of the SAR government very much. Hong Kong needs more returnees. The city’s past success is precisely because of its ability to embrace all rivers and absorb all countries Elite talents from all over the world have contributed to Hong Kong. In the past few years, the Open University has recruited more than a dozen outstanding professors overseas.

  [Concurrent] Huang Yushan, President of The Open University of Hong Kong

  Our Open University has always been recruiting these talents. Especially in recent years, our school has seen a lot of development. We now have full-time undergraduate students, almost 10,000 people, and more than 1,000 graduate students, so we need new ones. Of professors came to join us.

So since (2019), we have also recruited overseas, in overseas newspapers and magazines, so we have successively recruited a lot recently. As far as I know we have returned from overseas, there are about a dozen new professors. Come join.

  [Explanation] Huang Yushan said that at this stage, the proportion of overseas professors at the Open University is less than that of other well-known universities in Hong Kong. In the future, the school will increase its recruitment of overseas scholars and raise the quality of schooling to a new level.

Huang Yushan believes that embracing the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and opening branch campuses in the Mainland will become the mainstream of Hong Kong universities and colleges.

The Open University is also in the process of preparing a branch campus in the mainland. He hopes to establish deeper research cooperation with well-known mainland universities.

  In recent years, Hong Kong schools have also established many research institutions in different cities in the Mainland.

In addition, as everyone knows, there have been several universities in the past so many years, including Baptist University, Chinese University, University of Science and Technology. The Open University of China is also preparing to establish branch campuses in the Greater Bay Area in the Mainland to develop our teaching and research work, so There is a lot of work in this area.

I hope that the development of Hong Kong in the future can also promote closer ties between Hong Kong and the (Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao) Greater Bay Area, and Hong Kong can better integrate into the overall development of the country.

  [Explanation] Huang Yushan believes that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is an excellent stage for Hong Kong youth, and the education sector should create more opportunities and conditions to encourage young people to develop in the Greater Bay Area.

There is no doubt that the strengths of Hong Kong's youth are needed for the development of the Greater Bay Area.

YMCA can make full use of its own advantages in internationalization to shine in the process of accelerating the development of modern service industry in the Greater Bay Area.

In the future, the Open University will also start from the aspects of publicity, education, exchanges, etc., and invite youths who have already started businesses in the Greater Bay Area to share their experiences, so that young people will feel more opportunities to explore more possibilities.

  [Concurrent] Huang Yushan, President of The Open University of Hong Kong

  I think (Hong Kong youths) should go to the Greater Bay Area for development, because we know that the Greater Bay Area is 50 times larger than Hong Kong.

Hong Kong only has more than 1,000 square kilometers of land, which is actually not enough for the development of our Hong Kong students and our young people.

I hope that more young people can understand the development of China (Mainland) and the future of the Greater Bay Area, and encourage them to go to the Greater Bay Area.

This can be said to be broader, more opportunities, and more opportunities.
