PANews reported on May 10 that Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan published a personal essay, in which he pointed out that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area possesses three capabilities: cutting-edge artificial intelligence research and development, a complete high-end manufacturing chain, and an international financial hub. Chan stated that this triple advantage of "AI + Manufacturing + Finance" allows Hong Kong to play two major roles during the 15th Five-Year Plan period: industrial synergy and regulatory alignment, including serving as an "international interface" for emerging industries to establish themselves in the Greater Bay Area, and as an "exchange and conversion platform" for cross-referencing national and international standards.
