　　The propaganda group of the national "14th Five-Year Plan" arrived in Hong Kong on 23rd, and held a series of propaganda activities nonstop for three days, which caused a whirlwind of "14th Five-Year Plan" in Hong Kong. A number of foreign businessmen, think tank representatives, experts and scholars in Hong Kong said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that the 14th Five-Year Plan has brought valuable new opportunities to Hong Kong, with high gold content. Hong Kong society should take advantage of the situation, unite as one and seek common development.

　　Foreign companies: optimistic about the new positioning, beneficial to young people

　　The 14th Five-Year Plan not only supports Hong Kong to upgrade itself into an international financial center, an international shipping center and an international trade center, but also supports Hong Kong to upgrade its status as an international aviation hub, build an international innovation and technology center, build a regional intellectual property trade center and develop a cultural and artistic exchange center between China and foreign countries.

　　Kang Yong, chief economist of KPMG China, said that the 14th Five-Year Plan not only consolidated Hong Kong’s original advantages, but also put forward a number of new orientations, which pointed out the direction for Hong Kong’s future development. Foreign investment is very promising for the mainland market in China, including scientific and technological innovation, consumption, medicine and many other industries. Hong Kong can play the role of super contact between foreign capital and the mainland market, and its position is very important.

　　Kang Yong is most concerned about the positioning of Hong Kong as an international financial center and an international innovation and technology center. He believes that Hong Kong is rich in financial, legal and accounting resources, and can give full play to its own advantages and play an important role in the construction and co-construction of the Belt and Road Initiative in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. In terms of innovation and technology, Hong Kong has high-quality scientific research resources. If we can make full use of them and strengthen cooperation with the Mainland, it will strongly promote the development of innovation and technology.

　　Kang Yong said frankly that Hong Kong should actively integrate into the overall situation of national development, especially young people should go out and realize their dreams in mainland cities in Greater Bay Area. At present, the state has issued a series of preferential policies such as taxation and professional qualification certification, which has provided more convenience for Hong Kong youth to develop in the Mainland. We should seize this opportunity.

　　Stefano Dellerba, an Italian who works in a foreign investment company in Hong Kong, believes that the 14th Five-Year Plan will bring great opportunities to Hong Kong, especially those young people who are interested in science and technology, finance and green economy, and are expected to get valuable opportunities to show their strengths.

　　Expert: Change old ideas and add new impetus.

　　Liu Zhaojia, vice-president of the National Hong Kong and Macao Research Association, pointed out that the 14th Five-Year Plan reflects the long-term strategic vision of the central government, which should not only maintain the competitive advantage of Hong Kong’s traditional industries, but also create new opportunities. While consolidating traditional industries, we should also promote many new developments, and take Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as a breakthrough point to make plans on our own initiative.

　　Yang Yuchuan, a visiting professor in hong kong financial services institute, said that in the "14 th Five-Year Plan", the central government did its best to provide all-round support for the future development of Hong Kong’s economy, and also planned a path for Hong Kong to add new development momentum, such as further integrating into the overall situation of national development and catching up with the express train of rapid national economic development; Take advantage of the service industry to provide services for the development of the "Belt and Road"; Enhance the development strength of innovation and technology, and provide a large enough market hinterland for Hong Kong’s advantageous industries; Support Hong Kong to vigorously develop the offshore RMB center and build a diversified, in-depth and rich product market that meets the needs of investors.

　　"Opportunities always favor people who are prepared. Although Hong Kong has a good foundation and strong support from the state, success will not fall from the sky if it cannot actively seize opportunities." Yang Yuchuan said that Hong Kong was deeply influenced by the economic concept of "positive non-intervention" in the past, and turning opportunities into reality requires the joint efforts of the whole territory.

　　He Xingyan, director of social research of Unite Hong Kong Fund, said that the "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly proposed to support Hong Kong to build an international innovation and technology center, and this policy was a great benefit to Hong Kong’s creative sector. Hong Kong’s universities have made outstanding achievements in basic scientific research, but the technology transfer link is weak, so it is difficult to effectively transform scientific research achievements into products and services with great social and economic benefits. Technology transfer is the key to unlock the scientific research treasure of universities. Hong Kong universities should take advantage of the opportunity of the "14th Five-Year Plan" to strengthen the capacity building of technology transfer and create a vigorous science and technology innovation ecology.

　　All walks of life: seize new opportunities and open up a new atmosphere

　　Hu Zhixi, chairman of the Hong Kong Youth League and member of the All-China Youth Federation, said that the national "14 th Five-Year Plan" propaganda delegation came to Hong Kong to preach, which reflected the central government’s concern and support for Hong Kong as always. Hong Kong must seize this historical development opportunity, combine its own advantages, grasp the new policies given to Hong Kong by the state, and take the initiative to become a "participant" in the domestic grand cycle and a "promoter" in the domestic and international double cycle.

　　Shi Lide, president of the Chinese Manufacturers Association of Hong Kong, said that Hong Kong has constantly adjusted its industrial development orientation in response to the needs of the mainland at different stages of development, serving the needs of the country with its own strengths and growing. "This is the secret of Hong Kong’s success in the past and the only way for Hong Kong’s sustainable development in the future."

　　At present, the country is building a new development pattern of "taking the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other", which Shi Lide believes will bring rare opportunities to Hong Kong. The mainland market is huge, and Hong Kong businessmen can actively participate in the domestic circular construction with their own brand advantages. In addition, Hong Kong’s traditional manufacturing industry should also conform to the "14th Five-Year Plan" and actively transform and upgrade.

　　Liang Haiming, an economist in Hong Kong and president of Silk Road Zhigu Research Institute, said that Hong Kong should take a macro view, refer to the new development ideas of surrounding areas and firmly grasp the opportunities brought by the 14 th Five-Year Plan. Hong Kong can give full play to its advantages in supply chain management, maritime court, arbitration and mediation center, shipping financial insurance and other related fields, promote Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Hainan Free Trade Ports to form an international logistics development alliance, assist in the establishment of an international logistics bank, and develop international logistics supply chain financial business while providing financial products and services.

　　"After the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the society has returned to stability. The central government has improved Hong Kong’s electoral system, the relationship between the executive and the legislature has improved significantly, and the SAR government has been able to concentrate on dealing with economic and people’s livelihood issues. " Liu Zhaojia said that Hong Kong society should cherish the current hard-won stable environment and sincerely unite and seek common development. The SAR Government should strengthen long-term planning, intensify policy implementation, and implement the "14th Five-Year Plan" with the full support of the central authorities and the strong cooperation of all sectors of society.
