【Study ideology, strengthen party spirit, emphasize practice, and build new merits】Carry out in-depth thematic education and solidly promote the construction of the Greater Bay Area

CCTV News (News Network): General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the fundamental task of carrying out this thematic education is to adhere to the integration of learning and thinking, and the unity of knowledge, belief and action. It is necessary to closely focus on the central tasks of the party in the new era and new journey, really grasp practical work, seek practical results, focus on problems, advance in spite of difficulties, and promote high-quality development with new atmosphere and new actions to achieve new results. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has an important strategic position in the new development pattern of the country, and at present, Guangdong takes thematic education as an opportunity to take the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as a great opportunity to deepen reform and opening up, and strive to be at the forefront of promoting Chinese-style modernization.

In April this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Guangdong, and this inspection tour coincided with the launch of the theme education to study and implement Xi Jinping's thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era. The general secretary pointed out that conducting thematic education is a major task in party building this year. Party organizations at all levels should resolutely implement the work arrangements of the Party Central Committee, educate and guide Party members and cadres to achieve practical results in forging their souls through study, increasing their wisdom with study, using study to maintain a healthy style, and promoting work through study.

Bearing in mind the instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, Guangdong has carried out in-depth thematic education to strengthen theoretical learning to guide development practice, promote the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with high quality, and make the achievements of modernization more and more equitably benefit all the people.

Achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement is the key to China's modernization drive. At present, Guangdong, together with Hong Kong and Macao, has laid out and built a number of major innovation platforms such as the Greater Bay Area Quantum Science Center and the National Center for Applied Mathematics, accelerating the gathering of scientific research, industry, technology, finance and other scientific and technological innovation resources to the Greater Bay Area. Under the new situation, how to continue to strengthen the construction of regional innovation system and improve the ability of independent innovation? The staff of Guangdong science and technology department came to scientific research institutions, high-tech enterprises and other places to conduct research.

In view of the new situations and problems found by the survey, the Guangdong science and technology department also plans to further optimize and improve the whole process innovation ecological chain, identify and open up the blocking points in the key core technologies of scientific and technological innovation and industry, and accelerate the introduction of relevant policy services.

How to deepen investigation and research and solve development problems, how to make cross-border personnel travel more convenient? In the GBA, infrastructure-focused "hard connectivity" is accelerating. This year, Guangdong will continue to improve the trunk highway network in the Bay Area, focus on accelerating the construction of Guangzhou-Zhanjiang and Shenjiang high-speed railway projects, promote the expansion of Baiyun Airport and Shenzhen Airport, and build a world-class port group and world-class airport cluster in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Up to now, the length of expressways in the Greater Bay Area has reached more than 5100,2500 kilometers, and the railway mileage has reached about 5,1 kilometers, basically forming a "one-hour living circle" in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. On May 7 this year, the management measures for "Hong Kong Vehicles Going North" were officially promulgated and officially implemented on July 1.

At the same time, "soft connectivity", which focuses on the convergence of rules and mechanisms, has also continued to expand and deepen in the Greater Bay Area. In late April, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao jointly announced 4 "Bay Area Standards" in Shenzhen, covering 110 fields such as food, traditional Chinese medicine, transportation, elderly care and logistics, promoting the interconnection and integrated development of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

In today's Greater Bay Area, the construction of key projects is surging, and the coordinated development has burst out a strong synergy. As the vanguard, pioneer and experimental area of reform and opening up, Guangdong is implementing study and research into the tasks deployed by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, so as to promote the new results of the high-quality development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and test the achievements of thematic education.
