Now lets have a closer look at this greater bay area the scheme would see a number of cities including how to link up to form an integrated economic. Hub the greater bay area has a population of 70000000. 00 people and a g. D. P. Well over 1. 00 trillion u. S. Dollars making it a potential rival to places like San Francisco new york or tokyo already a major investment Hub Hong Kong would be the projects crown jewel the Great Barrier accounts for 12 percent of chinas g.

Strategy that the whole poll river delta once as as mentioned is becoming very High Technology hop off china and hong kong used to be one of the major players. Of course a lot of money from hong kong helped to develop the power of a delta knowledge getting the opposite that their region is developing so well that theyre buying a lot of Hong Kong Companies and hong kong in future time will only be one of a dozen city of all the peripheral will not have the special. All special. Not be the special place anymore as it used to be on. Being a very special place with a very special rights if you will is this an attempt to bring home into line and fully pull it into china maybe not by purpose. Because but the region. Itself is developing so fast so this will automatically will. Become like this that just one of one of a dozen or so its not necessarily to bring down hong kong but its only that other places are developing so well thats why the importance of. Its importance as just this state has been. So different right if you look at for example and. Theyre 100 percent chinese territory is. Just a slightly different economic rules what what do what does hong kong need to take care of whats going to change for Hong Kong Well to be honest hong kong profit a lot from the development in the last 22 years. The g. D. P. Has doubled from hong kong in the last 20 years but still because the region. For example the neighboring city it used to be a fishing village 40 years ago the g. D. P. Is almost as high as hong kong shipping as mentioned is even higher the port is actually bigger and then hong kong already so i think theres not much what town the hong kong people can do to stop this development especially it is also profiting its only that the importance of. What they are losing and yeah thats a problem for the hong kong people so what will you reckon they will receive will. Will keep their special status the special freedoms that but not for very long i mean. The basic law is only. Only for another 28 years that means hong kong will only half the special. Status for the for the 28 years on the other hand you never know what what will happen in d. C. 20 years so.
