In the lead-up to the Two Sessions, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region focused on the draft outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan. They proposed systematic suggestions around Hong Kong's kinetic energy leap in the overall national development landscape, shifting from passively receiving policy dividends to actively serving national strategies. By leveraging Shenzhen-Hong Kong connectivity to help small and medium-sized enterprises expand overseas, export cultural brands, and drive innovation in the global financial sector, this aims to reshape Hong Kong's core value as an international hub. CPPCC National Committee member Lin Xiaohui stated that the 15th Five-Year Plan represents a critical five years for Hong Kong to transition from passively receiving policy dividends to actively aligning with national needs, presenting both an opportunity window and transformation pressures for Hong Kong. "Hong Kong possesses an internationalized research environment and professional service advantages, but if it cannot form a closed loop with the Greater Bay Area's vast application scenarios, manufacturing capabilities, and market space, these advantages will be difficult to convert into industrial competitiveness. Promoting Shenzhen-Hong Kong to take the lead in soft connectivity areas such as digital cross-border operations, talent mobility, and mutual recognition of standards will have significance far beyond single-industry growth."
