Questions

Integration approach for nine cities plus two SARs

As for the integration of the GBA, would the central government plan to integrate the nine cities in Mainland then further integrate with HK and Macau at a later stage, or integrate these 9 + 2 cities as a whole? Any specific measures for the integration?

Market dynamics versus policy driven dynamics

Could the Central Government coordinate GBA city’s complementary development? What is the development plan for the GBA? Any specific time table for the Initiative?

Positioning among cities

Would a special committee be setup to oversee the positioning strategy of airports and ports in the GBA?

Diverse customs policy and customs system

Would the customs process for Belt and Road be different from the normal practice – with respect to both land transport and rail transport? Would the Single Window development be discussed between custom authorities in Mainland and HK?
