The 14th International Finance Forum (IFF) Global Annual Meeting was held at the Shangri-La Hotel, Guangzhou from November 17th to 19th. The chairman of the IFF Advisory Committee and former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama said that the construction of the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Bay Area should make the living space more entertaining, and Macao should be able to play its role in this regard. On the other hand, for the elderly population, when they are sick, facilities like hospitals are very necessary.
details as follows:
I think that the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau regions have great potential for development. I feel more deeply here when I come here. As a person who lives in the Tokyo Bay Area, I feel that I should learn more from everyone here. I feel more and more deeply.
I was in Zhuhai next year and took a 55-kilometer-long Zhuhai-Hong Kong Bridge. I have felt a few points through this matter. I want to talk about two things here.
First, first of all, I think that building such a bridge shows the strength of China, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau. As a huge trading port, it can not only connect the world through the sea, but also connect to the world through shipping and high-speed rail. This is an important transportation hub connecting the sea, land and air. It is hoped that the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Bay Area will be able to form some functions that are not possible in other Bay Areas.
It is said that the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Bay Area is the fourth largest Bay Area after the other three districts. Not only in terms of population and developable area, but also in terms of GDP and total trade volume, I think this area should be the largest in the world. of. I felt this deeply when I crossed the bridge.
Secondly, I heard from the relevant leaders that the technology for building this bridge is very difficult. Especially the construction of this bridge is not to dig a submarine tunnel, but to build a huge pipeline as large as an aircraft carrier. Let it sink to the bottom of the sea. This is a very difficult technology to achieve.
I heard that in order to build this bridge, Chinese technicians went to Japan and Japanese technical personnel to discuss each month. It would be difficult to achieve a bridge without Japanese cooperation. It is not just between China and Japan. China is cooperating with countries all over the world to form such a huge Bay Area connecting Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. I think this is also a very important and huge thing worthy of being proud of in the world. The project is a good project that deserves our praise.
Tokyo Bay Area in Japan is quite good in terms of dwelling, but it does not have some advantages like Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau. Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Bay Area not only need people, things, and wealth, but also need information. I think this is very important. If you say one more sentence, Japan will continue to expand the entertainment of the Tokyo Bay Area. The Tokyo Bay Area, including Yokohama, will become a huge economic development center in Japan in the future. I don't think it is comparable to the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Bay Area, but it is a very good place to gather businesses very easily. The most important thing is that we are not only introducing large companies, but also introducing various small and medium-sized enterprises. I think this is also a huge key.
The economy of Japan in these decades has not been said to have been very good. A huge reason is that the financial industry has not given sufficient financing to SMEs. How do we distinguish between good and bad for SMEs? This is a huge issue for the financial industry. The financial industry should exist for the real economy.
I graduated from Stanford University. In San Francisco, the relationship between Stanford University and Silicon Valley, I think everyone is very clear. As a development of the Bay Area, what role should the university play? Last month, I visited Tsinghua University. Students in environmental research and IT research have received various funding from countries and universities. The school has equipped them with a small table to make a variety of innovations, which is likely to lead China's great development in the future.
There are also many universities in the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao districts. Just now, there are more than 1 million students in Guangzhou who have a positive influence on the future real economy. Yesterday, before I came to the venue, I went to Nansha to attend an artificial intelligence summit. I have heard that research on artificial intelligence like this is very much in China, and I believe this is a soil that allows artificial intelligence to have more development prospects.
Finally, the construction of the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao should make the living space more entertaining, and Macao should be able to play its role in this regard. On the other hand, for the elderly population, when they are sick, facilities like hospitals are very necessary. There should be some hospitals with a high degree of medical technology, which are also the crucial focus of the decision. I went to Zhuhai yesterday and I am also promoting the idea of friendship. I hope to build a friendly hospital in China. Japan also has a lot of very sophisticated technology in cancer treatment, hoping to help the Chinese people and people around the world.
Of course, compared with the Tokyo Bay Area, the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Dawan District is around us. We need to understand its advantages, use its advantages, and need to work together to play its advantages. This is also the most important. Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe believes that Japan should be built into a country that can best leverage its advantages. So is the company able to give full play to its advantages, can it directly bring happiness to the people? We are going to make happiness for all the people. To build a city and pay for our efforts, this is the most correct direction. I also highly praise this. Only through such efforts can we bring peace and happiness to the world.
Finally, I would like to mention that I have always advocated the idea of the East Asian Community. This is also my dream. I also mentioned the community of Asia Pacific. I think our idea is the same. We want to cross such a region where all people can bring happiness to all people, build such a region, and build such a country. This is very important to our world, our planet. In the process, I also hope that China can play its key role.
