Huang Xiqin, deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC), president of the Guangdong New Social Stratum Association, and chairwoman of Guozhonglian Group, submitted 18 proposals during this year's "two sessions" focusing on development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). In an interview with China.org.cn, she emphasized the region's vast market potential, robust policy support and strong ties with international financial centers, all of which are crucial for business growth and opportunities.

Marking the fifth anniversary of the official release of the GBA development plan, Huang outlined significant advancements that have taken place in connectivity, industrial collaboration and green development. "The GBA offers immense opportunities, backed by robust policies and global financial connections, fostering an environment conducive for enterprise growth," she noted.

Luohu district in Shenzhen, known as the hub of the GBA and a pioneer in reform and opening-up, is home to numerous thriving enterprises. Huang said that Guozhonglian Group relocated its headquarters to Luohu in 2021, receiving prompt assistance from local authorities in addressing the housing concerns of its employees.

Huang advocated for the sustainable development of Luohu, highlighting the district's strengths in the gold and jewelry industries. She proposed various strategies for enhancing these industries through platforms, taxation and customs clearance.

Furthermore, Huang underscored that the Luohu government is actively attracting headquarters, platforms and high-traffic enterprises to its Qingshuihe area, with the aim of establishing a business area for headquarters, fostering strategic emerging industries and propelling the "Three Strengths and Three Zones" for local development.
