Hong Kong’s Development Advantages
Hong Kong has recently held a series of activities related to the Belt and Road Initiative. Some business circles pointed out that Hong Kong has development advantages, and some legislators believe that the SAR government should help coordinate civil activities and strengthen the promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Jewelry Industry’s Role in the Belt and Road Initiative
Small jewelry has a role in building the Belt and Road Initiative. Jeweler Wu Jianjiang pointed out that in recent years, more European diamond jewelry brands want to enter the Chinese market, and more Belt and Road countries such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East have imported jewelry from China. Hong Kong has become the “middleman” for all parties.
As the only region in the country that exercises common law, Hong Kong has great advantages. These international companies are very confident and hand over their projects and products to us for research and development, production and distribution, and work with us.
— Wu Jianjiang, Deputy Director of the Innovation and Technology Committee of the Belt and Road General Chamber of Commerce
Online Platforms for Promotion
Wu Jianjiang believes that Hong Kong has many roles and business opportunities in the Belt and Road Initiative, and should make good use of online platforms for promotion.
Nowadays, whether it is social media, self-media, multimedia, or cross-border e-commerce, it is a very important communication model. I believe there is a lot of room for development and it also provides many opportunities for the future of young people.
— Wu Jianjiang
Government’s Role in Promoting the Belt and Road Initiative
The just-concluded Belt and Road Summit attracted more than 70 countries and about 6,000 participants, but they were mainly businessmen. Some legislators believe that the authorities should coordinate and coordinate relevant civil activities and help promote the “Belt and Road”.
If the government plays a coordinating role, I have noticed that some stakeholders and chambers of commerce overseas will agree and accept it more, and think that this is a platform for the government to help coordinate, and they will be more willing to come to Hong Kong.
— Chow Ho-ting, Vice Chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong
Central Government’s Support
Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang once said that the central government supports Hong Kong to play a more important role in jointly building the “Belt and Road”. Some scholars believe that the Hong Kong media have a role to play and should actively refute the fallacies of Western countries.
The government should also encourage young people to develop more in the “Belt and Road” countries to give full play to the international advantages of Hong Kong people.
