The two regional financial and trade centers, Singapore and Hong Kong, are often described as "double cities" that are competing with each other.

New Port can be the market in Da Ya'anhe and the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area
Chen Yong is also a representative of the National People's Congress of the Hong Kong District. When he was interviewed by Lianhe Zaobao at the Fulun Hotel on Friday (September 9th), he said on a metaphor for the issue of competition in New Port.It may be eaten, but if there are more dishes, the more choices of diners.In other words, Xintang can make a big market together and benefit from it, especially in the Asianan and the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area.
Chen Yong said that in the future, Asia Gyeongan is one of the most important areas of Hong Kong's expansion of the development of the trade economy, and Singapore with geographical location advantages can be used as a springboard for Hong Kong and even mainland Chinese companies to enter the Southeast Asian market.The docking windows can also play similar roles for Singapore and Asian companies.
"This area is enough to accommodate more than one Singapore and one Hong Kong. Even if there are two or three more Singapore and Hong Kong, everyone’s market share and everyone's development potential can still be met and further expand.The relationship is more complementary. "
The Democratic Construction Federation will send three foreign visits to Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore to strengthen the exchange of economic and trade and people's livelihood issues from Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore.This is also the first time that the Democratic Construction Federation has stepped out of Hong Kong for foreign visits since the outbreak of the crown disease in early 2020.
When talking about the new purpose of visiting, Lin Lin, who interviewed with Chen Yong, said that it was mainly to let Singapore business people understand the current situation in Hong Kong.In the past few days in Singapore, she has observed that some people's understanding of Hong Kong is not enough, especially in terms of political stability.
Due to the anti -repair campaign broke out in 2019, Lin Lin pointed out that in the eyes of those who use English media as news channels, Hong Kong has been in a turbulent environment in the past three years.However, after the introduction of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the reform of the election system, the local situation has actually stabilized.She also said, "If you are now in Hong Kong, you will feel that the entire administrative official direction has also changed, and it is really dominated by the people's livelihood economy, not as before."
