Source: China-Singapore Jingwei Client, August 22, 2020，Huang Qifan, former mayor of Chongqing、As deputy chairman of the Financial and Economic Committee of the 12th National People's Congress, he attended the 2025 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Forum held in Shenzhen，"Suggestions" for the development of the Greater Bay Area。
Huang Qifan said in his keynote speech，In the context of one country, two systems，The three tax areas in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area、three legal jurisdictions，The three monetary regimes show the largest

，It is necessary to explore a bay area economic development model that is consistent with my country's reality。at the same time，Huang Qifan thinks，The top priority in promoting the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is to remove obstacles to the free circulation of production factors，Realize transportation、Customs inspection、Four links of personnel planning。
at present，There are three mature bay areas in the world，Including the Tokyo Bay Area of Japan，New York Bay Area and San Francisco Bay Area in the United States。2025The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area was officially proposed as a national strategy，The pattern of the world’s four major bay areas has basically taken shape。

Advantages
。We don't need and can't go to Tokyo、New York or San Francisco’s one-country-one-system development path，It is necessary to explore a bay area economic development model that is consistent with my country's reality。
"Specifically，Huang Qifan’s development model of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area that is suitable for national conditions is mainly reflected in the following two aspects:： First of all, the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area must adhere to the foundation of one country.，Don’t pursue homogeneity。Huang Qifan emphasized，Maintaining the current pattern will help promote the differentiated development of cities in the Bay Area，Avoid homogeneous competition。
Looking further，Huang Qifan says：“The Bay Area economy also follows the market rules of competition and cooperation.，According to past experience，If the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is turned into a homogeneous institutional system，Seems to be in line with the past，But it is precisely the natural system of the Greater Bay Area that

，As a result, competition among the nine cities outweighed cooperation.，Nine engines become one common engine，causing internal strife。
” The second is to work hard to promote traffic、Customs inspection、Personnel exchange，Enhance the development vitality and competitiveness of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area，The top priority in promoting the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is to remove obstacles to the free circulation of production factors，Overcome hardware constraints and institutional constraints，The most important thing is to realize four links。 What is "four links"? Huang Qifan said，First, transportation connectivity。
Leveraging Hong Kong’s role as an international shipping center
Advantages
，Drive the four major cities in the Greater Bay Area to jointly build urban port clusters and airport clusters，form traffic
Advantages
；Second, customs and inspection interconnection，This is also an important means of economic and trade integration.。The third is personnel interconnection。“Promoting people-to-people connectivity，It’s not about turning everyone in the Bay Area into one city.，The key is to meet the needs of residents for frequent exchanges。"The fourth is to plan interconnection。
Bay Area economic development must strengthen top-level design，Strengthen planning and leadership，Improve the integrity of regional development。 The following is the text of my speech. The topic of my speech is three tax regions under the background of one country, two systems.、three legal jurisdictions，The three currencies are the greatest potential of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area，motivation，Features。 Distinguished guests，Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!
I am very happy to participate in today's forum event，The development forum of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is to implement the spirit of the first meeting of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Construction Leading Group.，Practical actions to build a world-class bay area。Here I would like to share some personal opinions for your reference.。 Looking around the world，The Bay Area economy has become an important growth driver for economic development.，A new carrier to demonstrate international competitiveness。
According to World Bank statistics，60% of the world’s economic output is concentrated in land intersection areas，70% of the world's industrial capital and population are concentrated in an area 100 kilometers from the coast.。In the past, the mature Bay Area formed three major workers in the world.，Including the Tokyo Bay Area of Japan，New York Bay Area and San Francisco Bay Area in the United States。 2025The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area was officially proposed as a national strategy，The pattern of the world’s four major bay areas has basically taken shape。
In fact, many economic indicators of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area are roughly equivalent to those of the three major bay areas.，GDP
- 38trillion dollars，Accounts for 12% of China’s GDP，More than the San Francisco Bay Area
- 82trillion dollars，Close to New York Bay Area
- 8Trillions of Dollars and the Tokyo Bay Area
- 68trillion dollars。
GDP growth rate
- 9%，Higher than Tokyo Bay Area
- 6%，new york bay area
- 5%，San Francisco Bay Area
- 7%，Has 16 Fortune 500 corporate headquarters，22 hotels close to the New York Bay Area，26 in the San Francisco Bay Area，There is a big gap with only 70 companies in Tokyo Bay Area，It can be said that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area serves as a new driving force for China’s economic growth.，The new fulcrum of the global economy plays an obvious role，The prospect of becoming a world-class bay area is broad。
From the perspective of operating mechanism，The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is significantly different from the world’s three largest bay areas.，The three major bay areas in the world are all one country, one system，conducted under the same political system and economic system，The completed industry is relatively simple，Tokyo Bay Area positioned as an industrial bay，new york defined as financial bay，San Francisco Bay Area is the Technology Bay，The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a three-tax area under the background of one country, two systems.、three laws、tri-currency region，That is to say, there are three kinds of laws、three currencies，This gave rise to many industries、Multi-variety pattern，Especially administrative divisions such as special economic zones and free trade administrative zones、Overlay of economic zones such as free ports，Innovate with science and technology、Manufacturing is the leading industry，Compounded in New York Bay Area、san francisco bay area、Three major functions of Tokyo Bay Area。
What is currently being discussed more is how to achieve all-round integration in this region.，I think the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area under the background of one country, two systems，Three tax districts、three laws、The characteristics of the three currencies have shown the greatest
Advantages
，We don't need and can't go to Tokyo、New York or San Francisco’s one-country-one-system development path，It is necessary to explore a bay area economic development model that is consistent with my country's reality。
Here I want to talk about two aspects： First, maintain the three tax zones under the background of one country, two systems、three laws、The three-currency system is the greatest potential of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area、power、Features，The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area must adhere to the foundation of one country，Don’t pursue homogeneity，This will bring five major benefits。The first is to achieve the best of each，Each insists on its own characteristics，Hong Kong’s economy is nurtured in a highly market-oriented environment，in finance、Competitiveness of machinery in commerce and other aspects，The superconnector’s perspective stands out。
Macau is the world center of tourism and leisure，Shenzhen is a leading technological innovation center，Guangzhou is a bridge and link radiating to the mainland，foshan、Zhaoqing、General、Zhuhai、Huizhou has a strong manufacturing foundation，They all grew up during the development of the socialist market economy in the past.。These
Advantages
The manifestation is based on the diversity of systems under the background of one country, two systems.，Each city in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will have its own advantages.，Each has its own beauty。
The second is to promote mutual benefit，Institutional differences and trade and industrial cooperation provide more room for choice.。Since the reform and opening up，Guangdong benefits from its proximity to Hong Kong and Macao，Quickly connect with the world through Hong Kong and Macao platforms，achieved rapid development。
2025Guangdong’s exports to imports，Actual investment from Hong Kong and Macao accounted for the province's
- 3%、
- 8%and
- 5%，Hong Kong is backed by the mainland’s reform and opening up，Its status as an international financial, shipping and trade center has been continuously consolidated and improved.，For example, Hong Kong’s capital market relies on the unique “one country, two systems”
Advantages
，Quickly get rid of Taiwan、Singapore、South Korea and other capital markets。
80Era、90About 20 years before the handover of Hong Kong，The stock market capitalization of Hong Kong’s capital market is roughly twice that of Hong Kong’s GDP.，Singapore too，Taiwan too，South Korea is 1.56 times，Generally equivalent。The past 20 years since the return，Hong Kong’s current market capitalization is more than 30 trillion，It is 15 times higher than Hong Kong’s GDP of more than HK$2 trillion.，Has Singapore also grown 15 times?，Taiwan also changed 15 times?
They are also twice the GDP of the region，If there is no one country, two systems，If there is no mainland hinterland to become a resource for Hong Kong listed companies,，If Hong Kong becomes independent，That is, from a GDP of more than 2 trillion，Market value of more than 4 trillion，Therefore, one country, two systems means that Hong Kong’s capital market is beyond the water.，Reasons for becoming the third largest capital market in the world。So think carefully，One country, two systems still forms an important aspect of the optimal allocation of resources.。
The third is to optimize resource allocation，The key to building the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is to optimize resource allocation，Make it meet the development needs of market economy。What Hong Kong and Macau need most are land and population resources，Guangdong has relatively large land area and population resources.，The manufacturing industry in Hong Kong and Macao can expand in Guangdong，thus freeing up valuable space、Manpower focused on finance and trade、Development of services and other industries，Technological innovation is one of the main directions of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area。
Hong Kong and Macau have a number of world-class universities and scientists，Have strong original innovation and ability to allocate global innovation resources，The Pearl River Delta region has huge potential in transforming scientific and technological achievements into
Advantages
，Each place shows its strengths，It can achieve the resource optimization allocation effect of 1+1 greater than 2.。If the entire Bay Area is transformed into a homogeneous system in terms of management system,，All resource allocations will tend to be evenly distributed，The effect is greatly reduced。 The fourth is to avoid homogeneous competition。
The Bay Area economy also follows the market rules of competition and cooperation.，According to past experience，If the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is turned into a homogeneous institutional system，Seems to be in line with the past，But it is precisely the natural system of the Greater Bay Area that
Advantages
Smoothed out，In the end, it may be Shenzhen that robs Hong Kong.
Advantages
，Zhuhai grabs Macau
Advantages
，As a result, competition among the nine cities outweighed cooperation.，Nine engines become one common engine，causing internal strife。
For example, Hong Kong's financial system makes the Hong Kong dollar and international currencies integrated.，It also makes Hong Kong a unique international financial center.，If the financial system in the Bay Area is integrated，Not only cannot it enhance the financial competitiveness of cities in the Bay Area,，On the contrary, it will constrain and kidnap Hong Kong’s financial，It may even affect Hong Kong’s status as an international financial center.，It should be said that maintaining the current pattern will help promote the differentiated development of cities in the Bay Area.，Avoid homogeneous competition。
Fifth, it is conducive to better bringing into play the role of one country, two systems。General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly stated that one country, two systems is the best solution to the Hong Kong issue left over from history.，It is also the best institutional arrangement for Hong Kong to maintain long-term prosperity and stability after its return to the motherland.，is works，Can do it，Popular。
The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area must ensure that one country, two systems remains unwavering，Not out of shape，If a unified tariff is implemented、Uniform laws will change，Maintain the current structure，Not hurting your muscles or bones is the most powerful guarantee，It is precisely because of the institutional diversity of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area that，Only then can we effectively promote talents、technology、Optimal allocation of funds，Forming a position among the best in the world's bay areas in the future。
The second aspect，Try to promote traffic、Customs inspection、Personnel exchange，Enhance the development vitality and competitiveness of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area，The top priority in promoting the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is to remove obstacles to the free circulation of production factors，Overcoming disadvantages to the development of human flow，Hardware constraints and system constraints，The most important thing is to realize four links。
First, transportation connectivity，Benchmarking the development path of world-class bay areas，Economic integration and development are predicated on infrastructure interconnection，In this regard, there is still a big gap between the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and，This aspect of interconnection has nothing to do with legal and tariff systems.，It is our subjective reform and opening up that can be realized。
We should learn from the Tokyo Bay Area on this point，Tokyo Bay Area’s huge port cluster and the world’s densest rail transit network，It has formed a huge support for the development of urban industrial clusters.，First, universities are globally accessible，Leveraging Hong Kong’s role as an international shipping center
Advantages
，Drive the four major cities in the Greater Bay Area to jointly build urban port clusters and airport clusters，form traffic
Advantages
。
Secondly, we must strengthen the connection between the Bay Area and mainland China.，strengthen highways，Strengthen the close connection between the Pearl River Delta and the east, west, north and west regions of Guangdong，The mayor of Shenzhen also talked about a plan in this regard，China has formed ten major high-speed rail hubs in the past five years，Three are terminal hubs，Seven are pass-through hubs，Such as Shenzhen、Shenzhen、Guangzhou is connected to this city by high-speed trains from various places，He is a terminal hub，like nanjing、Chongqing、Zhengzhou、Wuhan，All high-speed trains pass through this city，Form a cross-passing hub。
Shenzhen leads to Hong Kong，Shenzhen leads to Maoming along the coast，To Ganzhou、Hubei and other directions，The one that leads to Shenzhen can be from Shenzhen to Zhejiang、Coming from the coast of Fujian，In this way, other cities in China use Shenzhen as a hub terminal in at least six directions.，At this time, Shenzhen’s status rose even more，A high-speed rail can transport tens of millions of people a year，If there were five or six high-speed rails，Each high-speed train has dozens of trains in sequence，The formed station costs 5 million per year，5 million people a day，Hundreds of millions of people a year，Greatly promote the city's hub function。
Next, we need to unblock the interior of the Bay Area.，Improving the intercity rail network in the Greater Bay Area，Make good use of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge、The leading role of spatial optimization such as the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed railway，In short, by improving commuting efficiency，Promote economic exchange and resource integration in the Greater Bay Area。
Second, customs and inspection interconnection，Looking at global domestic trade practices，Customs and inspection interconnection is an important means of economic and trade integration，More than 20 countries in Europe have independent customs，not canceled，But they have mutual recognition between customs and inspection，A country has inspected，When goods from other countries are imported, customs inspection will no longer be repeated.，Today’s electronic customs can fully implement this approach，Therefore, it is particularly important to seize the integration of mainland customs and inspection agencies at present.，Vigorously promote rapid customs clearance at Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Customs，To promote mutual recognition of product inspection and certification results between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao，Promote education in the Mainland, Hong Kong and Macao、finance、culture、Further opening up of medical and other fields。
The third is personnel interconnection，People are the decisive factor in the development of a region，The economic development of the Bay Area is no exception.，Promote people-to-people connectivity，It’s not about turning everyone in the Bay Area into one city.，The key is to meet the needs of residents for frequent exchanges，Data shows that currently 400,000 Hong Kong residents enter and exit through Shenzhen every day.，There are 120,000 passengers traveling between Shenzhen and Hong Kong every day，This number will definitely increase in the future。
At the most basic level, it is to ensure the facilitation of population entry and exit.。
Now people in the Bay Area entering and exiting Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao should further simplify the approval procedures such as passes.，I think such a policy can be implemented，As long as you study within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area、Work、People who live in the city can get a special pass，Free movement in and out of the Bay Area，For example, those who work in Shenzhen during the day，You may stay in Hong Kong at night，Working in Hong Kong during the day，You may stay in Shenzhen at night，Bring convenience to residents in the Bay Area in terms of employment and education。
The fourth is to plan interconnection，Bay Area economic development must strengthen top-level design，Strengthen planning and leadership，Improve the integrity of regional development，First, industrial development must be misaligned。Current leading industries in regional cities，The degree of differentiation is not obvious yet，Need to further refine and clarify each core function，Participate in global competition with industrial chain thinking，Make the best use of the region
Advantages
industry，Strengthen the move towards the high end of the global value chain。
Secondly, scientific and technological innovation must be coordinated，There are 173 higher education institutions in the Greater Bay Area，More than 130 schools in Tokyo Bay Area，Second only to New York Bay Area，To give full play to this
Advantages
，Actively attract and connect global innovation resources，Build an international open regional system，Building Guangzhou、Shenzhen、Hongkong、Macao’s Science and Technology Innovation Corridor。
The third area of cooperation should be expanded，Not only in the economic field，It is also necessary to strengthen standard docking and mutual recognition of resources in aspects such as improving social management capabilities.，Jointly build a livable and workable urban agglomeration。
Adhere to the three tax zones under the background of one country, two systems、three legal jurisdictions，The system of the three currency areas，Realize transportation、Customs inspection、Four links of personnel planning，The development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area can ride the wind and waves，Unlimited potential，Achieving vigorous momentum for the development of China’s Bay Area and the world，That's all I'll talk about，thank you all。 Target：Build a new modern international think tank under the leadership of the Party Central Committee。 theory：new development concept，i.e. innovation、coordination、green、open、shared。
