Chen Baili: At present, there are already more than 3,000 Hong Kong companies settling in Nansha, Guangzhou. Hong Kong has a mission to assist mainland enterprises in going global.

The Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province hosted a special promotion event for the Hong Kong sector in the Qingsheng Hub area of Nansha, Guangzhou. During his speech, the Deputy Director of the Hong Kong Commerce and Economic Development Bureau, Chan Pak-Li, mentioned that there are already over 3,000 Hong Kong companies established in Nansha. He stated that Hong Kong has a mission to assist mainland enterprises in going global, and as a leading global financial center, Hong Kong can provide diversified financing channels for Nansha enterprises. The Special Administrative Region government has also introduced various policies to promote the development of the innovation and technology industry, with the hope of leveraging the technological strengths of both Hong Kong and Nansha to jointly promote industrial upgrading and transformation. Chan Pak-Li believes that Hong Kong and Nansha can strengthen cooperation in the environmental protection industry and low-carbon technology to respond to the national carbon reduction goals. Local enterprises can access green financing through Hong Kong for bond issuances, as Hong Kong has exempted local governments from capital gains tax when issuing bonds in Hong Kong, and also provides support for mainland enterprises coming to Hong Kong for development. Liu Wei, member of the Guangzhou Municipal Committee and Secretary of the Nansha District Committee, hopes to develop the Qingsheng area into a region with a strong Hong Kong flavor, resonating with Hong Kong. The Qingsheng area has a Hong Kong school for expatriate children, using Hong Kong textbooks from primary to high school, and also collaborates with Hong Kong architects to build Hong Kong-style communities where shopping and environment reflect Hong Kong characteristics. He pointed out that Nansha is located in the center of the Greater Bay Area, with only 1 hour's travel time to cities like Zhongshan and serving a population of 70 million in the region. Nansha is also a pilot area for financial opening-up, promoting financial reform and innovation, and implementing the "5-port linkage" strategy.
