He Zhiping Comment : Talent is the largest treasure of Hong Kong
In recent years, the SAR Government has vigorously promoted Hong Kong's "super-liaison officer" role. However, some Hong Kong scholars think that the positioning of Hong Kong's "super-liaison officer" is not accurate. The rapid development of the Mainland does not require Hong Kong as a "middleman". The Mainland can by-pass Hong Kong "going out".
Dated 21, the former Secretary for Home Affairs Bureau, the China Energy Fund Committee executive vice chairman and secretary general He Zhiping was interviewed by the reporter of China Review News Agency said that the important advantage of Hong Kong development is the role of liaison. It is not important to call "super-liaison" or "ordinary liaison", and it is important that Hong Kong does have the role of a liaison or a middleman who can help "going out" from and "introducing" into China.
He Zhiping pointed out that Hong Kong is a small place, but there is a big role. Under staring from all over the world, Hong Kong can play a very crucial role. Hong Kong has no natural resources, no oil, agriculture and animal husbandry, but Hong Kong has talent, talent is Hong Kong's largest treasure.
He reiterated that Hong Kong's GDP 92% was a service industry, and that there were no other advantages in Hong Kong. Therefore, Hong Kong can only act as a middleman, helping motherland by "going out" and "introduced."
"After China joined the WTO in 1999, it has opened to the whole world. In fact, the world's top 500 is no longer to require setting up headquarters in Hong Kong. Such enterprises have already set up headquarters in Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shanghai and other places, However, one point cannot be ignored is that they still have branch in Hong Kong. The reason is that Hong Kong is still in a very good strategy location for business". He Zhiping said.
He Zhiping said that in addition to the global Fortune 500, there are five thousand or even 50 thousands business, many large companies in New York, Washington of United States, do not need Hong Kong as a middleman, but in the middle of the United States, there are many small Enterprises are still required Hong Kong services. Hunan, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other cities of small and medium enterprises in China, also need to invest around the world through Hong Kong. Hong Kong needs to provide services.
"Hong Kong also needs to advance 'belt and road', at the forefront of the country, and Hong Kong is going to make his own road, and this road is on the other side of the ocean," said by He Zhiping .
