Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po published a blog post, stating that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area possesses three capabilities: cutting-edge AI research and development, a complete high-end manufacturing chain, and an international financial hub. Chan said that this triple advantage of "AI + Manufacturing + Finance" enables Hong Kong to play two major roles during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period: industrial coordination and rule alignment, including serving as the "international interface" for emerging industries entering the Greater Bay Area, as well as a platform for exchange and conversion where national standards and international standards can be referenced against each other.
