Huang Xiqin, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of Guozhonglian Construction Engineering Management Consulting Co., Ltd.:
Guangzhou and Shenzhen jointly build a science and technology innovation and financial reform pilot zone
Huang Xiqin, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Guozhonglian Construction Engineering Management Consulting Co., Ltd., believes that as the core cities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have similar economic sizes and have their own strengths. They should comprehensively deepen strategic coordination and strategic cooperation. Enhance the radiating and driving effect throughout the province and even the entire Greater Bay Area.
Among them, the construction of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Financial Reform Pilot Zone should be an important starting point for the "strong alliance" between the two cities.
Huang Xiqin said that "improving the system and mechanism of financial support for scientific and technological innovation" is one of the first batch of authorized matters for Shenzhen's comprehensive reform pilot.
As an innovative city, Shenzhen has a strong atmosphere of scientific and technological innovation. It has made a series of explorations in financial support for scientific and technological innovation, and basically has a good foundation and conditions to take the lead in building a scientific and technological financial reform and innovation pilot zone.
Shenzhen joins hands with Guangzhou to build a science and technology innovation financial reform pilot zone, which will further strengthen the "double-city linkage" between Guangzhou and Shenzhen, form a science and technology innovation financial service system with complementary advantages and unique features, and provide full-chain and full-life cycle financial services for technology-based enterprises. Help improve the level of self-reliance and self-reliance in scientific and technological development.
Huang Xiqin called for Guangzhou and Shenzhen to be included as pilot cities in the Science and Technology Financial Reform Pilot Zone as soon as possible and to carry out a series of financial reforms and innovations.
Specifically, it includes: on the premise that risks are controllable, support the exploration and development of scientific and technological talent incentives, cross-border mergers and acquisitions and other technological and financial innovation businesses in Qianhai, Hetao, Nansha and other areas; support the inclusion of scientific research institutions in Hetao into high-level cross-border RMB settlement facilitation Pilot to improve the efficiency of the use of scientific research funds, and comprehensively improve the collection and payment efficiency of regular items such as salary insurance for scientific researchers, scientific research equipment and material procurement; support the optimization of capital return paths for companies listed in Hetao in Hong Kong, and support the company's pre-listing equity repurchase and post-listing Overseas funds obtained from profit repatriation, share reduction and other operations can be repatriated conveniently into the country.

Chang Juping, deputy to the National People’s Congress and deputy director of the Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission:
Establish a mechanism for sharing information on physician practice registration in Hong Kong and Macao
With the acceleration of the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, residents in the Greater Bay Area have increasingly close exchanges, and improving cross-border medical service support capabilities has become an important part of the coordinated development process of the Greater Bay Area.
Chang Juping, deputy to the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission, said that in 2009 the former Ministry of Health issued the "Measures for the Administration of the Recognition of Physicians from the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions Obtaining the Qualifications of Mainland Physicians" and the "Measures for the Accreditation of Physicians from the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions from Obtaining the Qualifications of Mainland Physicians" "Recognition Management Measures" lays a policy foundation for promoting cross-border medical practice by doctors from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
Shenzhen takes the lead in breaking down the qualification barriers for doctors between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and carries out professional title recognition for overseas medical professionals and enjoys the same policy treatment as mainland doctors.
Currently, there are 38 Hong Kong and Macao doctors certified as mainland doctors in Shenzhen, and 243 Hong Kong and Macao doctors practicing short-term medicine on the mainland.
Chang Juping believes that according to relevant regulations, the identification conditions for cross-border medical practice by Hong Kong and Macao medical and health professionals are still relatively strict, and the application procedures are relatively cumbersome, which cannot meet the needs of the coordinated development of medical care in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
He suggested that relevant ministries and commissions support Shenzhen as a pilot to simplify the conditions and procedures for identifying medical and health professionals in Hong Kong and Macao, and extend the validity period of short-term medical practice.
Support Shenzhen in exploring the establishment of a Hong Kong and Macao physician practice registration information sharing mechanism to break the "information island" and gradually implement simplified procedures for identification and registration.

Plans to build new Shennan and Shenhe high-speed railways to enhance the radiation power of the Greater Bay Area
Nie Zhuqing, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice president of the Guangdong Non-Party Intellectuals Association, and chairman of Shenzhen Pengxin Asset Appraisal Land and Real Estate Appraisal Co., Ltd., has long been concerned about the construction of transportation facilities in the Greater Bay Area.
He believes that as we advance the development of the Greater Bay Area in depth, we should further improve the national railway network and enhance the radiation power of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
In Nie Zhuqing's view, Shenzhen, as the main city on the east line of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, currently has imperfect external railway channels, insufficient transportation capacity, and weak hub functions, which is not conducive to radiating and driving surrounding cities and promoting a higher level of regional opening up.
"As the core city of the Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen should actively plan a new pattern of external strategic channels of 'advance eastward, connect westward, connect south, and expand north', upgrade the hub capacity, and coordinate development across the west bank of the Pearl River." Nie Zhuqing suggested supporting the planning of the new Shenzhen The (Zhen)-South (Ning) (Shenzhen-Zhuhai) high-speed railway will build a large coastal channel connecting east and west. It is planned to build a new Shenzhen (Zhen)-river (source) high-speed railway to connect the Hangzhou-Guangzhou-Zhanjiang high-speed railway and open up strategic coastal and inland channels.
"Neither of these two high-speed railways have been included in the national plan. It is recommended that the National Development and Reform Commission, Guangdong Province, and China Railway Group support their inclusion in the recent construction projects of the national medium and long-term railway network plan that is being revised."
Nie Zhuqing said that the Shenzhen-Southern (Shenzhen-Zhuhai) high-speed railway will be extended westward to Yangjiang, connecting the Guangzhou-Zhanjiang high-speed railway and the Zhuhai-Zhaoqing high-speed railway, realizing direct connectivity between Shenzhen and major coastal channel cities such as Zhanjiang and Haikou, and Shenzhen to Nanning, Kunming and other southwest cities. It will help give full play to the leading role of the powerful combination of Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, and radiate and drive the development of western Guangdong.
The Shenhe High-speed Railway connects to the Hangzhou-Guangzhou High-speed Railway through the Meilong High-speed Railway, achieving direct connections from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to the Yangtze River Delta region urban agglomeration, which is conducive to giving full play to the radiating and driving role of the Greater Bay Area in northeastern Guangdong and promoting coordinated regional development.
In addition, Nie Zhuqing also suggested that the National Development and Reform Commission, Guangdong Province, and China Railway Group support the planning of Xiaomo Port Distribution Railway to connect the national railway network, expand the scope of the port hinterland, and promote the development of the port collection and distribution system to a more low-carbon development.

Create a high-quality development demonstration zone for the cultural tourism industry in the Greater Bay Area
In the past year, the summer was "tasty" and the winter "feeling like home". In addition, the TV series "Flowers" triggered a tourism boom in Shanghai. The phenomenon of cultural tourism in various places "out of the circle" has attracted the attention of many CPPCC members.
"The cultural tourism industry has become an important support for stabilizing growth, expanding domestic demand, and promoting high-quality regional development. It is recommended that the National Development and Reform Commission take the lead in relevant departments to build the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area into a high-quality development demonstration area for the cultural tourism industry facing the world." said Zhu Dingjian, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, chairman of Mission Hills Group, and deputy secretary-general of the Hong Kong Friendship Association.

At the same time, we will optimize the cultural tourism resources of 11 cities and make good use of the unique Lingnan culture, ocean culture, red culture and other resources unique to different cities to avoid the homogenization of cultural tourism projects and products in various places.
"The development of smart cultural tourism is changing with each passing day. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has taken the lead in R&D and application in cutting-edge fields such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, 5G, blockchain, and the metaverse. It is recommended that the guidance closely follow the development of digital technology At the forefront, encourage new technologies and new application scenarios that are constantly emerging in the cultural tourism industry, and build the digital + cultural tourism industry in the Greater Bay Area into an industry type with world influence." Zhu Dingjian said.
The Greater Bay Area has the largest and densest concentration of overseas Chinese in China, and the number of global Chinese whose ancestral homes come from the Greater Bay Area is particularly large.
Therefore, Zhu Dingjian suggested that while increasing the tourist resources and cultural appeal of the Greater Bay Area, we should pilot a more open visa-free policy for overseas Chinese to build the Greater Bay Area into a root-seeking place that attracts overseas Chinese and promote a sense of belonging among overseas Chinese. and cultural centripetal force.

Xu Mingjin said.
Xu Mingjin said that there are currently "three major platforms" for Shenzhen-Hong Kong cooperation, including Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone, Loop Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone and Shatoujiao Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Tourism Consumption Cooperation Zone, of which the first two are national strategies.
The three cooperation zones are located in the western, central and eastern parts of Shenzhen respectively, and together they constitute an important platform and starting point for the integrated development of Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
"Hong Kong's modern service industry is strengthening cooperation with the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Cooperation Zone. Then the northern metropolitan area should form a linkage with the national strategic platform of the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone to attract innovation and technology and advanced manufacturing companies to settle in and promote the development of the new economy, thereby Avoid homogeneous competition." Xu Mingjin said.
Xu Mingjin suggested that in the construction of the northern metropolitan area, industrial chain enterprises and venture capital finance, advanced manufacturing, professional and business services and emerging industries based on innovation and technology should be clearly defined.
Prioritize the development of medical technology, big data and artificial intelligence, robotics, new materials, microelectronics and financial technology.
"Complementing the advantages of the Loop Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, the northern metropolitan area will become Hong Kong's new economic growth engine and will also allow Hong Kong to better integrate into the overall development of the country."

Vigorously support the construction of major cooperation platforms in the Bay Area
As a major cooperation platform in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Deep Cooperation Zone has been officially closed and operational since this month. The "first-line" goods in the cooperation zone are liberalized and the "second-line" taxation policy is controlled, and there are highly convenient branch lines for personnel entry and exit. Management policies are formally implemented.
Ye Zhaojia, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the Macau Banks Association, said that the successful completion of the cooperation zone's closed operation is a key measure to achieve the development goals of the first phase of the Hengqin plan. It symbolizes the realization of closed management on the physical level between the two places. At the same time, it also provides opportunities for the two places. The region has put forward higher requirements in terms of soft connectivity such as market environment, government environment, legal environment, and financial markets.
Ye Zhaojia said that in the past few years, the state has intensively introduced policies to support the construction of cooperation zones, and Guangdong Province and Hengqin have also made detailed plans.
However, when it comes to areas involving state power such as finance and cross-border capital flows, greater legal support is needed.
He suggested referring to international experience or domestic advanced practices to formulate a civil and commercial legal system for the cooperation zone covering economic and financial fields at the National People's Congress level; or referring to the experience of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone and authorizing Guangdong Province or Hengqin through the National People's Congress to improve The local legislative authority gives Guangdong Province or cooperation zones greater legislative support in civil and commercial laws and regulations.
