HK should fast-track integration of Greater Bay Area

The "Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" was released six years ago, but the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has been relatively slow in advancing the project. Now, Hong Kong needs to take more proactive measures to contribute to the GBA's development.

The development of Hong Kong and Macao SARs is intrinsically linked to the national goal of building a stronger Chinese nation. It is crucial for more Hong Kong residents to realize that the GBA is not just a strategic project for national development; it gives Hong Kong a golden opportunity to boost its growth. Only by leveraging opportunities within the Greater Bay Area and connecting the mainland market, can Hong Kong transform into a "super value creator" and sustain growth.

Since the GBA is a shared home for Guangdong province, and the Hong Kong and Macao SARs, every member of Hong Kong society should see itself as a contributor to the GBA's growth.
