Features: This book explores the future development trends of the Hong Kong economy from a broader perspective and deeper level. When it comes to Hong Kong, it is impossible not to mention Shenzhen. Over 20 years ago, Shenzhen was just an inconspicuous little flower by the side of Hong Kong's towering tree. However, in the tide of China's reform and opening-up, leveraging a series of special policies granted by the central government and its proximity to Hong Kong, along with the intelligence and pioneering spirit of the people of Shenzhen, the city rapidly rose to become one of the youngest and most vibrant industrial and commercial metropolises in China and the world. Today, the relationship between Hong Kong and Shenzhen is one of mutual benefit and shared risk, an inseparable bond where they together shine as the dazzling "twin stars" of the Asia-Pacific region. In the new century, both cities face severe challenges and excellent opportunities. Therefore, under the new historical conditions, we should explore how to build economic relationships between Hong Kong and the mainland, especially Shenzhen, as well as the relationship between the Hong Kong-Shenzhen economic circle and the Greater Bay Area. This book focuses on the issue of economic integration between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, revealing that economic integration is an inevitable trend for the development of both cities. It discusses the macro background and connotations of Hong Kong-Shenzhen economic integration and explores the aspects of market, finance, transportation, ports, high technology, law, and education in terms of economic connectivity between the two cities. This can be considered an important feature of the book, as so far, no comprehensive and systematic work has been published that delves into the economic cooperation between Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
