High hopes for China’s Greater Bay Area, but integrating 11 cities will pose challenges 

Something that Western governments lacks and forgot

G M i Agreeeee

it's hard to do that in the west due to how democracy works it only makes sense for leaders to focus on their current term, which is typically 5 years or shorter.

@@JewTube001 Legal corruption such as lobbying is the problem. The gov't don't work for the population anymore but just the minority interest groups.

China is going to destroy these cities in the coming big war. China just can't help being too aggressive and hostile to other countries, instead of focusing on getting bigger and greater.

@@___Anakin.Skywalker it's a pity you wish death and destruction on such a prosperous region. then again you are darth vader.

@@JewTube001 what are you saying

@@JewTube001 read to understand, because what you accused him of doing isn't what he is doing. he didn't wish them bad but rather saying that china has been too aggressive and that might cause war

I just learned this a day ago: India’s bullet train faces 5-year delay: High costs, Japan firms not so keen. The Indian Express has learnt that the Railways now expects the project to be commissioned fully by October 2028, instead of the original timeline of December 2023.

India at least doesn’t worry about guns.

Just as in Malaysia. We still focus on religion and race and yet nothing much on development plan. The politics play racial card and separate us to gain their seat in control.

@@viktortan8326 As Indonesian... we here you. We're on the same boat. 😅

Comparison is not valid at all. China is one party state without free media and global internet. India is multi party state with free Internet.

Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Macao, etc, too many strong cities in GBA. Except Shenzhen, other cities are hard to lead in Guangdong.

... or it's like a country with 4 successful cities and the government wants them to get along and cooperate, but each city has its own personality and methods. Even if the government has its own hopes and ambitions, the success of the depends on how well the cities cooperate with each other.

@@Otter-Destruction that's litteraly the whole metaphor here

@@zve6 yeah exactly my point, the concept is so simple you don't need an analogy to dumb it down for people.

😂，but you forgot to mention about how China parents are doing their parenting job lol I wouldn’t worry too much about if the don’t behave maturely a bit as long as I still remember about my childhood.

that's why it need efficient regulations to simplify things, get rid of overlap regulations.

Japan is democratic, as well as Germany. I wonder how they've turned out...

@Phyrozz They are not as diverse as China.

@@Phyrozz India is the largest democracy. How does it turn out?

@@firefly4784 Thats the keypoint imo. China has ALOT of different ethnicies and cultures. Im pretty sure that any Democratic way like in the US or here in germany would insanely crumble in China. It just doesnt work and people are fine with it there.

china has a government that was established by the people, for the people, listens to its citizens' concerns, takes actions to change people's lives, takes accountability, and delivers results, liftings the quality of lives of its people to become the second most prosperous nation on early in 40 years. What is non-democratic about china? oh, I see, imagine if it follows the orders of western hegemons to sell its national assets and sovereignty to cooperates and foreign interests ... I bet China will become the next "democratic" superstar in propaganda mouthpieces like BBC and CNN overnight.

China is way more democratic that many liberal democracies anyways, after all, It's a people's republic.

Atleast you can question the gov. Making statements like these in china will fetch you 10 years in prison.

@@irritatedanglosaxon1705 incorrect. The Chinese are playing 3d weiqi.

Lawyers or what so over, look like lambs to me with those wigs placed by their colonial master

@@MrHuofeng They're judges. The wigs are silly, but the British legacy of "common law" is ultimately why Hong Kong and Singapore are the preferred locations for international arbitration in Asia. International contracts involving companies in Asia almost always specify that arbitration will happen in Hong Kong or Singapore, rather than mainland China, Japan, or South Korea. And with China's growing influence over Hong Kong, more and more companies are excluding Hong Kong from legal contracts and shifting to Singapore instead.

Well, real communism means no governments at all, and China hasn't practiced communism for decades, so.... Anyway, best wishes to the Greater Bay Area.

In real communism, the community owns the means of production.

China is so centralized with politic and state owned economy, I really don’t think any individual in China will wish to stay in the country just to contribute to CCP.

real communism doesn't exist.

@@igibon8 most Chinese are satisfied with the CCP. The country is better off than it's ever been

Correct. Also every day in the morning you see hundreds of little kids crossing the border at LoWu or LokMaChow from Shenzhen complete in their school uniforms and backpacks just to got to school in HK. And at late afternoon they all cross the border again to go home in SZ

literally, in chinese school, we learned about how people would live in shenzhen and then drive to work in hong kong

that's like comparing Shanghai with Osaka...

also they compared an area as big as the Netherlands to San Francisco... like bruh I get it you're optimistic but that's a bit too optimistic

GDP Nominal, not real GDP, their real GDP would be somewhere around $4 trillion.

India?

i dont know how big it is compared to my country, but the population is slightly higher than here in germany.

not necessarly. The problem is that HK and macau have their own legal systems, passports, currencys. Some of those needs to be abolished to make it easier to drive to other citys. One currency and passport should be the norm.

@@semiramisubw4864 There will undoubtedly be civil unrest. Assimilation inevitably erodes culture and autonomy, and many Hong Kongers don't want that.

That's the plan... due to HK 2019 demonstration I as(Chinese govt) would weaken HK and make a better state richer to reduce their...... Anyway it can work the Chinese people seem to go along well with each other ...which is beautiful

I’m not sure about that most powerful but yeah i guess

yeah they even occupying our west philippine sea

The situation isn’t great in America, but one man having almost complete control over a country for No term limits isn’t ideal either.

But I still wish that the Chinese government do its best in realizing that it's governing a country that rules over NON-CHINESE people. A lot of people's complaints about China's government and progress are not about the progress itself but what it will do with that power. I am HOPING that it will not use its power to completely homogenize its borders by forcefully (even passively) assimilating its minorities, then invading its territorial claims, and finally ignoring international laws like universal human rights and maritime borders just because it's doing its "own thing". Because if China's "own thing" is stepping over people and acting like it's above morality, then the Chinese government is a bunch of horrible and evil people.

Pearl River Delta specifies the bay's name while "Great Bay Area" specifies the region's name. There is a difference.

it's nothing new... Silicon Valley was never named as such before the tech development settled there.

Stop pretending to be chinese. lol

@NRG nah, 大湾区 should be translated to great bay area, dunno where this "greater" translation comes from.

Greater Bay Area includes the Pearl River Delta and the Bay that surrounds the coast of HK / Kowloon / Macau and Shenzhen...

Well, yes. China is still kinda a developing country and when the GBA is assembled they hope the innovation etc skyrocket like it did when Shenzen was called out a SEZ and than exploded. We will see how it works out
