HONG KONG - Tsang Chun-wah, financial secretary of the Hong Kong Special AdministrativeRegion (SAR) government, has revealed that Hong Kong should seize the golden opportunityof China's"One Belt, One Road"strategy in which Hong Kong could become a major financingplatform. "The'One Belt, One Road' strategy is another golden opportunity for Hong Kong after thereform and opening up. If we could seize the opportunity, Hong Kong's economic growthcould have a fundamental momentum in the upcoming 30 to 50 years,"Tsang said in anexclusive interview with Xinhua. "Look at what changes the reform and opening up has brought to Shenzhen and Hong Kong,you will understand why I regard the'One Belt, One Road' strategy as the potential gravity ofHong Kong's economic growth." "One Belt, One Road"is a development strategy and framework proposed by China's centralauthorities which focuses on connectivity and cooperation among countries in Eurasia. Itmainly consists of two components: the land-based 'Silk Road Economic Belt' andoceangoing 'Maritime Silk Road,' both of which had prominent roles in the history of China'sancient communication with Eurasian countries. Why strategy crucial to HK Tsang said among more than 60 countries along the belt and road, some emerging marketshave no much differences from Shenzhen back to 30 years ago. If Hong Kong could take theopportunity and promote finance, trade, logistics, commercial professional services andtourism in those countries, its economy could achieve further leap. Currently, trade and logistics contribute to about a quarter of Hong Kong's GDP growth, andfinance accounts for about 16 percent with another 10 percent from professional services.Tsang believed that"One Belt, One Road"could not only provide more jobs for Hong Kong'syoung people, but also make contribution to China's economy. "The whole world is in a process of globalization, and Hong Kong is an externally-orientedeconomy so we could no longer keep eyes only on local 7 million population and must seekadded-value outside since local market is not sufficient to sustain the growth. " "In 20 to 30 years, Hong Kong's GDP per capita could be increased by multiple times fromcurrent $40,000 on condition that we find new market to sustain such a growth,"said Tsang, 64, who has been serving as Hong Kong's chief financial official for eight years. Advantages that HK has Prior to becoming financial secretary of the HKSAR government, Tsang had held multiplepositions of industry, trade and commercial affairs for governments in Hong Kong. He saidHong Kong has several unique advantages in promoting"One Belt, One Road" strategy. In transport and logistics, Hong Kong is one of the world's shipping center and aviation hinge. "Especially in air transport, Hong Kong has even more advantage. So far the air freightvolume accounts for only 2 percent of the total volume of freight via Hong Kong but air freightvalue accounts for more than one-thirds of Hong Kong's total export value. We can do better." |
