China News Service, Beijing, October 18th, Wire Title: Mirroring Shenzhen’s Experience and Working Together to Continue Writing "Immortal Xiangjiang Famous Sentences"
China News Agency reporter Chen Xiaoyuan
On the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, China’s top leader Xi Jinping summed up the ten experiences of Shenzhen’s development and proposed six missions.
Observers believe that mirroring Shenzhen’s experience and drawing a blueprint for the future has important implications for Hong Kong.
In the past 40 years, Shenzhen's achievements have attracted worldwide attention.
Hong Kong, regarded as a "mentor", is both a witness and a promoter.
Whether it is the direct investment of early Hong Kong businessmen, the introduction of advanced technology and management concepts, or the exploration of "Hong Kong R&D and Shenzhen transformation" in recent years, it is due to exchanges and cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong that complement each other.
In recent years, while Shenzhen has been developing rapidly, Hong Kong's economy has been stagnant for a time due to political and social disputes.
In the process of ebb and flow, some people worry that Hong Kong will be "overtaking" in an all-round way, and even its role in the country's reform and opening up will be replaced by Shenzhen.
People of insight in Hong Kong pointed out that instead of worrying about being replaced, it is better to think more about how to seize opportunities, move forward steadily, and work with Shenzhen to create a win-win situation.
Outsiders generally believe that Shenzhen’s rapid development, with no distractions, daring to try and being first, is an important experience.
This has something in common with the Lion Rock spirit advocated by Hong Kong people.
Once upon a time, generations of Hong Kong people worked hard, constantly striving for self-improvement, and helping each other together, making the Pearl of the Orient shine in the world.
Seeing the outstanding achievements of Shenzhen, people who care about the future of Hong Kong appeal to the story of the tortoise and the hare race.
For a long time, especially after the return of Hong Kong, the state has spared no effort in supporting the development of Hong Kong.
The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area now injects strong impetus into Hong Kong's industrial transformation and upgrading, enhancing competitiveness, and expanding new economic growth points.
At present, under the situation of normalized epidemic prevention, the country promotes a new pattern of domestic and international dual-cycle development, and Hong Kong is an important node and hub.
At the celebration meeting, Xi Jinping stated that Shenzhen should actively promote the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and enrich the new practice of "One Country, Two Systems".
This has high hopes for Shenzhen and an opportunity for Hong Kong, which is also the central city of the Greater Bay Area.
Under "one country, two systems", Hong Kong enjoys the convenience of "one country" and the benefits of "two systems". As an international financial, trade, and shipping center, Hong Kong still has advantages in accounting, law, conventions and exhibitions, etc.
As an important engine for the development of the Greater Bay Area, how much power Hong Kong can provide in the future must first be answered by all sectors of Hong Kong.
For example, to promote the integration of rules and mechanisms for economic operation in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, promote the efficient and convenient flow of various elements, deepen the reform and opening up of the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone, and build the Loop Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone. Hong Kong has a lot to do. .
Although some people in the pluralistic society of Hong Kong claim that "Hong Kong is planned", they even oppose it for the sake of opposition.
But it is gratifying that as more and more projects land in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, development dividends are gradually emerging, and more and more Hong Kong people are actively participating in it.
At the same time, Shenzhen is expected to launch various innovative measures in the process of building a pilot demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The deepening of cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong will further enrich the new practice of "one country, two systems" development.
"Abandon the distinction and seek commonality. Let go of the contradictions in each other's hearts, and pursue our ideals together." Observers believe that if all sectors of Hong Kong society can work together and seize opportunities as the country deepens reform and opening up, they will be able to continue writing "Immortal Xiangjiang" ".
