Under the new opportunities, how to promote Shenzhen-Hong Kong cooperation to further move from "physical cooperation" to "chemical cooperation"? From improving the quality and upgrading of cross-border consumption, to using the "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Deeply Integrated Development Leading Zone" as a breakthrough for the development of Qianhai, to opening up the "one district and two parks" in the Loop... On the afternoon of January 28, At the symposium between city leaders and Hong Kong and Macao members held at the fourth session of the seventh session of the Shenzhen Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, members of the Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference made suggestions and suggestions on the current hot topics of Shenzhen-Hong Kong cooperation.
Accelerate the upgrading and transformation of port areas to stimulate cross-border consumption potential
At present, "running in both directions" has become the norm for Shenzhen and Hong Kong citizens to consume. Lai Junlin, member of the CPPCC, president of Hong Rongyuan Group Co., Ltd., and honorary chairman of the Hong Kong Youth Activities Committee, suggested improving the quality and upgrading to create a port consumer business district.
"As the cross-city consumption craze between Shenzhen and Hong Kong continues to heat up, in the future, the cross-border consumption needs of residents in the two places will no longer be simply 'buy, buy, buy', but will tend to be diversified and high-end. From the simple dining and entertainment consumption in the past, Gradually expanding to culture and art, medical and health, customized services, etc., the port area economy represented by Shenzhen Bay Port still has a lot of room for development." Lai Junlin suggested, based on the "Shenzhen Commercial Network Plan (2023-2035)" The Houhai-Shenzhen Bay business district will be used as a pilot project to optimize port services, accelerate the upgrading and transformation of the port area, introduce richer brand formats such as education, medical care, culture and art, etc., create a seamless omni-channel consumption experience for tourists from the two places, and stimulate cross-border consumption. potential. At the same time, strengthen the connection between Houhai-Shenzhen Bay Commercial District and Qianhai-Baozhong Commercial District, gather joint consumption forces, expand comprehensive functional services such as tourism consumption, shopping and leisure, and then start from the port and adjacent areas to expand cross-border consumption. The boom radiates to the wider Greater Bay Area, bringing new impetus to the high-quality living circle of the Greater Bay Area.
Fang Zhou, a member of the CPPCC and research director of the Hong Kong One Country, Two Systems Research Center, has turned his attention to Sha Tau Kok. He suggested that the Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Consumer Cooperation Zone be used as the entry point for economic development in Sha Tau Kok. "The cooperation zone fully integrates cultural and tourism consumption elements, actively introduces other new consumption formats besides commodity retail, explores the construction of international insurance service centers, international medical service centers, cross-border e-commerce platforms and other diversified consumption carriers, and ultimately realizes the realization of Shenzhen and Hong Kong Win-win cooperation," Fang Zhou said.
Qianhai construction should give greater emphasis to the integration of Shenzhen and Hong Kong
In December last year, the State Council approved the "Overall Development Plan for the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone" (hereinafter referred to as the "Qianhai Master Plan"), positioning Qianhai as a "leading area for the deep integration of Shenzhen and Hong Kong" for the first time, emphasizing Shenzhen's the importance of integrated development in Hong Kong.
Ark suggested using the “Shenzhen-Hong Kong Deeply Integrated Development Leading Area” as a breakthrough for Qianhai’s development. "The Qianhai Cooperation Zone focuses on the modern service industry. The service industry is different from the manufacturing industry. Cooperation in the service industry is not only a matter of tariff reduction and exemption, but also involves more difficult issues of rule docking and market access." He believes that Qianhai's future Some areas can be selected as specific functional areas to explore innovative cooperative development models. For example, it took the lead in building the "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Deep Integration Experimental Zone" with "co-discussion, co-construction, co-management and sharing" in Shenzhen Ocean New City, which belongs to the "Greater Qianhai" area. It adopts the measures of "liberalizing the first line and controlling the second line" for goods. Professional qualifications holders in Hong Kong are subject to registration management. After registration, they do not need to pass the mainland qualification examination and can directly provide professional services. The service scope can gradually be extended to the entire Greater Bay Area.
Kan Huimin, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, listed a series of figures when speaking. She said that as of December last year, Qianhai had launched a total of 805 institutional innovation results, and 88 of them had been replicated and promoted across the country. Shenzhen and Hong Kong should accelerate the implementation of unfinished projects in Qianhai and expand their radiation coverage, actively integrate with the "Qianhai Master Plan", and ensure that Qianhai plays a better leading role in building the Greater Bay Area "relying on Hong Kong", including gradually expanding the scope of approval Hong Kong has entered the pilot program for foreign-invested equity investment management companies in Qianhai, with Qianhai as its base, further encouraging Hong Kong-funded companies to carry out equity, private equity, venture capital and other businesses in Shenzhen, and expanding the development space of Hong Kong-funded banks in Qianhai.
"One district, two parks" in Hetao must solidly promote "seven connections and one leveling"
The Loop Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone is located in the cross-border border area between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. It currently forms a "one zone, two parks" pattern between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. In August last year, the State Council issued the "Shenzhen Park Development Plan of the Loop Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone" to make comprehensive arrangements for the development of the Loop at the national level.
Fangzhou believes that currently, a new round of global technological and industrial revolution is in the ascendant, and competition between the Shenzhen-Hong Kong twin cities and other international cities in the high-tech field is becoming increasingly fierce. The "one district and two parks" in the Loop provides a vehicle for Shenzhen and Hong Kong to leverage their respective technological innovation characteristics, and is particularly conducive to the two places making breakthroughs in cross-border flow of technological innovation elements, resource openness and sharing, and technological industry collaboration. It can be said that in the development process of Shenzhen-Hong Kong cooperation from "physical cooperation" to "chemical cooperation", the Loop has played a key role as a "catalyst".
Fangzhou proposed to solidly promote the "seven connections and one leveling" in the "one district and two parks" in the Loop, and strive to achieve the early realization of seven interconnections of personnel, vehicles, goods, funds, information, data, and biological products. “One leveling” refers to striving to equalize the taxation standards for technology enterprise income tax and technology talent individual income tax between Shenzhen and Hong Kong parks. At the same time, Shenzhen and Hong Kong can negotiate to establish a park joint management committee to strengthen the planning and industrial project connection of the two parks, and carry out integrated industrial layout and dual recruitment (investment and talent recruitment). In addition, with leading technology companies as the core, we will build large-scale international R&D centers, promote the implementation of major scientific and technological projects, and widely absorb international talent resources.
Yang Debin, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and a member of the Digital Economy Development Committee of the Hong Kong SAR Government, is concerned about the information flow problems faced by the Loop. He suggested accelerating the construction of cross-border data zones so that data can be imported, exported, usable and manageable. Each zone can focus on an exclusive scientific and technological research field. "Take life sciences as an example. The special zone can gather medical data from overseas and mainland China, conduct big data analysis, and generate huge scientific research value, but it can also protect the risk of data leakage," Yang Debin said.
