Cai Guanshen, Member Of The Standing Committee Of The CPPCC National Committee, Said: "Three Places In Guangdong, Hong Kong And Macao Protect The Ecological Environment In Tai Wan District.

In March 4th, Cai Guanshen, the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee and the president of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in Beijing, who were attending the national two sessions in Hongkong, told the economic report reporters in twenty-first Century that he submitted several proposals on the future development and construction of the Great Bay area and Hongkong.

He said that the big bay area of Guangdong, Hongkong and Macau is the main area of China's participation in global competition. Although the local ecological environment protection has achieved some success in recent years, the ecological environment and sustainable development are facing challenges. He suggested innovative institutional mechanisms to give full play to the strengths of local governments, the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences (hereinafter referred to as the "ring academy") and entrepreneurs from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and promote the green development of the Da Wan district. In addition, he also proposed that Hongkong and Yunnan strengthen deep cooperation to boost the construction of China (Yunnan) free trade pilot area and build China's first land border FTA.

Suggestions on strengthening ecological environment protection in Tai Wan District

Among the proposals submitted by Cai Guanshen, two were related to the ecological environment protection in the Tai Wan District of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau. In an interview with the economic news reporters on twenty-first Century, Cai Guanshen said that if we want to match other world Bay areas, we should not only make efforts in GDP, science and technology, but also protect the other areas of the world in terms of environmental protection.

The average annual concentration of PM2.5 in the Pearl River Delta region in 2017 was 34 micrograms per cubic meter, which was the first in the three major urban agglomerations of the country to achieve stable compliance for three years. However, there is still a gap between the annual average atmospheric PM2.5 concentration in the bay area of Guangdong, Hongkong and Macau, compared with the other three Bay areas in the world, and the coordination mechanism of air pollution prevention and control should be further strengthened and improved. Cai Guanshen said frankly.

In his written proposal, Cai Guanshen suggested that the local government, the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences and the alliance of entrepreneurs of the big bay area of Guangdong, Hongkong and Macau take the lead in giving full play to the functional advantages of local governments in policy-making and supervision, the advantages of the Academy in theoretical support and technological innovation, and the advantages of Guangdong, Hongkong and Macau in the economic development, high-end talents and international exchanges, as well as the advantages of the entrepreneurial alliance in financial capital support and external cooperation, and jointly promote the ecological environment management in the Tai Wan district. At the same time, in the aspect of marine pollution control, it is necessary to establish a coordinating body between the three governments of Guangdong, Hongkong and Macao to coordinate and coordinate the tasks of each city and carry out top-level design.

He suggested that the specific measures include the joint efforts of the three governments to establish the joint conference system of the "9+2" urban ecological environment protection in the big bay area of Guangdong, Hongkong and Macau. The general plan for environmental protection in the Tai Wan area should be worked out as early as possible, and regional planning, watershed coordination and Lu Hai as a whole should be adhered to so as to form a new model of regional environmental management which is responsible to the people. Relying on major national scientific research projects, we encourage entrepreneurs to participate in investment and jointly promote the transformation of ecological technology achievements in Tai Wan district. We should give full play to the advantages of the market economy, technology R & D, international finance and international trade in Guangdong, Hongkong and Macau to develop advanced technology intensive and capital intensive environmental protection industries. We should speed up the deep integration of the environmental protection industry with the new generation of information technology and advanced manufacturing technology, enhance the monitoring and control of major pollutants and so on, and accelerate the formation of localized production capacity of complete sets of equipment, core components and supporting materials, and promote the development of science and technology and environmental protection industry. The development of green finance, environmental protection products display and trading as the main environmental protection service industry, promote contract environmental services, support environmental pollution third party governance and environmental comprehensive management hosting services. We should seize the opportunity of "one belt and one road" to improve the relevant rules, standards, trading modes and preferential policies of overseas investment and investment in the environmental protection industry, so as to promote the environmental protection industry in the bay area to go out.

"The core cities of Hongkong, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other big bay areas have a relatively good technological innovation base in the region, but the research forces of environmental protection and environmental protection are scattered, and the degree of integration is not high. Therefore, it is necessary for all units and departments at all levels to have linkage and cooperation mechanisms. The environmental pollution in the Tai Wan area can be truly systematized so as to truly become a livable and livable high quality living circle. Cai Guanshen told the twenty-first Century economic news reporter.

Suggestions on strengthening deep cooperation between Yunnan and Hong Kong

The outline of the development plan for the Great Bay area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau pointed out that we should build an important supporting area for "one belt and one road". Therefore, Cai Guanshen also submitted to the General Assembly the proposal to strengthen the deep cooperation between Yunnan and Hong Kong and boost the free trade pilot area of China. Speaking of this proposal, Cai Guanshen said that Hongkong and Yunnan each have their own unique advantages. If the two sides can take Yunnan as the orientation of China's radiation center for South Asia and Southeast Asia, give full play to Hongkong's advantages in technology, talent and financing, so as to jointly cope with the risk of trade friction, enhance our political and economic mutual trust with neighboring countries, and build a demonstration area for the fate community.

When Cai Guanshen introduced the proposal to the economic report reporters in twenty-first Century, he pointed out that Hongkong has the status as an international financial, shipping and trading center, and is also an important city in the big bay area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau. At the same time, Yunnan actively participates in the construction of "one belt and one road". Yunnan, as an important node connecting Southwest China to the "one belt and one road", is on the border with Burma, Laos and Vietnam. In recent years, Yunnan has taken an active part in the construction of the economic corridor of China South Central Peninsula and the economic Burmese economic corridor of Meng Zhongyin.

According to the data in its proposal, by the end of 2018, Hongkong had invested 1877 projects in Yunnan, and actually amounted to about 12 billion 399 million US dollars. Hongkong is also one of Yunnan's largest trading partners. However, up to now, only 5 enterprises in Yunnan have been listed in Hong Kong. And in the 63 countries (regions) that settled in Yunnan in 2018, the settlement volume between Yunnan and Hongkong was far behind that of Burma, reflecting the initial stage of financial cooperation between Yunnan and Hong Kong. Cai Guanshen believes that Hongkong, as an international financial center with London and New York, has a large number of enterprises and financial institutions from ASEAN and South Asia, especially India. It has rich connections and deep roots, and it can work hand in hand with Yunnan to expand to the south.

He also pointed out to the twenty-first Century economic news reporter that the international political and economic situation is profoundly affecting China's economic development and foreign exchanges. The national development and Reform Commission recently issued the policy and measures on supporting Yunnan to speed up the construction of the radiation center for South Asia and Southeast Asia, so as to fully promote the innovative development of the cross border economic cooperation zone, which not only promotes free trade, but also meets the requirements of further opening up in the southwest region.

Therefore, Cai Guanshen suggested that we should give full play to the role of the Entrepreneurs Association of Guangdong, Hongkong and Macau, the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce and other business associations, and timely disseminating Yunnan's location, resources and late development advantages, and encourage the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta port and private enterprises to actively invest in Yunnan to achieve a win-win situation. At the same time, we should give full play to the influence of Hongkong business circles overseas and the bridge role of Yunnan ASEAN business cooperation committee, so as to provide Hongkong's support for Yunnan's external communication. It is also necessary to set up bilateral mechanisms to deepen cooperation between Yunnan and Hong Kong, promote economic and trade cooperation with neighboring countries and build a common destiny.
