The 2020 coronavirus pandemic has affected the entire world, however in Mainland China, society is stable, and the economy is steadily picking up again due to rapid epidemic control measures. In the Mainland, the GDP grew by 2.3% in 2020, and exceeded RMB 100 trillion for the first time, becoming the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth. With the “domestic and international dual circulation” policy, the strategic location of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta city cluster is playing an ever-important role in the economy and societal development of the country.

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area features a world-class consortium of “9+2” cities. Compared with other major bay areas in the world such as the San Francisco Bay Area, New York Metropolitan Area, and Tokyo Bay Area, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has notable advantages. For example, its land mass population, port container throughput, and air passenger numbers all exceed those in other bay areas. KWIH is well-positioned to grow with the Greater Bay Area with core developments in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Jiangmen.
