Bay Area expected to unleash power

Vice-Premier Han Zheng said on Wednesday that the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area must fully utilize the advantages of the "one country, two systems" principle. It also must unleash the integrated power of Guangdong province and the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, Han said.

The member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China outlined instructions, chairing the first official meeting of the nation's top decision-making unit on the area's development - the leading group for the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Implementation of the Greater Bay Area is a national strategy planned and deployed by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Han said.
