On the morning of February 25, the Sixth Session of the Seventh Shenzhen Municipal People's Congress commenced. More than 400 municipal people's congress representatives, bearing the trust of the people, attended the meeting and diligently carried out the sacred duties entrusted to them by the Constitution and laws. According to the meeting agenda, Shenzhen Mayor Qin Weizhong delivered the government work report on behalf of the municipal government. Bryan Lin Xiaohui, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and standing committee member of the Shenzhen Municipal CPPCC, Realord Group (1196.HK), and The Sincere Company (0244.HK) Chairman attended the session.

Lin Xiaohui, a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC, standing committee member of the Shenzhen Municipal CPPCC, chairman of Realord Group, and chairman of The Sincere Company, commented that the government work report presented by Mayor Qin Weizhong summarized achievements in a factual manner, analyzed the current situation in an inspiring way, and outlined work plans systematically. Lin agreed and noted that the report possesses both a macroscopic strategic vision and a focus on microscopic livelihood challenges. Over the past year, new progress has been made in Shenzhen-Hong Kong cooperation. The mechanism for regular coordination and collaboration between Shenzhen and Hong Kong has become increasingly robust. Cross-border travel has become more convenient, and ties between the business communities have grown closer. The development and opening-up of Qianhai have taken on a fresh vitality, while the construction of Hetao has sparked a new wave of momentum. The government work report proposes that in 2025, the "Bay Area Connect" project will be advanced in depth, enhancing the "hard connectivity" of infrastructure and the "soft connectivity" of rules and mechanisms. Lin Xiaohui expressed particular agreement with this point, stating, "'Hard connectivity' is important, but 'soft connectivity' is even more crucial. 'Hard connectivity' is relatively easier to achieve, whereas 'soft connectivity' is a tougher challenge, requiring greater courage, determination, and innovative reforms." He further remarked that successfully achieving "soft connectivity" would carry even greater significance, expressing confidence that in 2025, the government will achieve significant breakthroughs in the "soft connectivity" of rules and mechanisms, thereby enhancing Shenzhen's role and influence as a national pilot demonstration zone.
