Nếu lòng ta chai đá, ta chẳng thể nghe, chẳng thể thấy, và chẳng thể hiểu. Tiên tri Isiah nói: “Các ngươi có lắng tai nghe cũng chẳng hiểu, có trố mắt nhìn cũng chẳng thấy; vì lòng dân này đã ra chai đá.” (Matt 13:11-15).
Slowing growth, weak investor confidence and brain drain – Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, may be losing its lustre. Could its future lie in the Greater Bay Area, an economic integration project joining the Special Administrative Region to Guangdong and Macau?
Over the next decade, greater transport, administrative and economic links will tie Hong Kong inextricably to Southern China. But will Hong Kong find opportunity or obsolescence in the Greater Bay Area? And with around two decades till the end of “One Country Two Systems” in 2047, is the Greater Bay Area a way to assimilate Hong Kong with the Mainland?
