China Singapore Finance, December 30 (Reporter Wang Shiyao) This year’s Central Economic Work Conference has mentioned high-quality development many times. Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher of the China International Economic Exchange Center, will be on the 30th at the China Singapore Finance 2021 Online Cloud Summit "Great Bay" The “High-quality Development of the District” pointed out in the cloud dialogue that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area should create an open source of power, a new source of power for modern industries, and a new source of power for consumption.

　　How does the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area promote high-quality development?

Zhang Yansheng put forward that, one is to let innovation become the first driving force, talents become the first resource, and development become the first essence.

The second is to narrow the gap between the Pearl River Delta and eastern, western and northern Guangdong, and eliminate relative poverty in a high-quality transformation.

The third is to achieve green development, including the construction of neighboring economy, neighboring industries, neighboring energy and neighboring society.

　　In Zhang Yansheng's view, making good use of Hong Kong's advantages is also particularly important.

Including the advantages of Hong Kong's university resources, applied science and technology research institutes, and science and technology parks, as well as the advantages of Hong Kong's internationalization, marketization, and rule of law.

　　Zhang Yansheng specifically mentioned that the future development of the Greater Bay Area needs to create three "power sources", namely, creating an open source of power for the Greater Bay Area, creating a new source of power for modern industries, and creating a new source of power for consumption.

At the same time, we must pay attention to the interconnection of hardware and software infrastructure.

　　As an important hub for the domestic and international dual cycle, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has both first-mover advantages and geographical advantages in the process of building a new development pattern in the country, which has increasingly attracted the attention of international investors.

Talking about the hub status, Zhang Yansheng said that the Bay Area has historically had many hub advantages such as global financial centers, shipping centers, trade centers, service centers, manufacturing centers, and innovation centers. How to form a dual-cycle national comprehensive hub layout? The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is both an opportunity and a challenge.

　　In the next step, how can the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area become a global hub? In Zhang Yansheng's view, under the new situation, it is still necessary to build a comprehensive hub for the new economy, such as a digital economy, a service economy, and a green economy.

　　When talking about how the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will "go global" and promote the "dual cycle" strategy, Zhang Yansheng said that first of all, we must deeply cultivate East Asia and Southeast Asia, deeply cultivate the "Belt and Road", and deeply cultivate the third-party market cooperation between the United States and Europe because of its theme. The word is high-quality co-construction.

　　Zhang Yansheng also mentioned the "five links", that is, policy communication, facility connectivity, unimpeded trade, currency circulation, and people-to-people connectivity.

He believes that under the new situation, it is necessary to think about how the Greater Bay Area can open up the connection with the China-Europe Express, the new land-sea corridor in the west, and the new Eurasian Continental Bridge, such as the recently opened China-Laos Railway.

　　Finally, if the Greater Bay Area wants to "go global," Zhang Yansheng stated that it is necessary to focus on digital empowerment, green empowerment and service empowerment to open up new space for cooperation in the “going global” area.
