What should Guangdong do in the process of promoting the high-quality trade development in the Greater Bay Area? Professor Li Shanmin said that the system innovation must be done well. In addition, he also emphasized that the linkage benefits of the free trade zones should be strengthened, and the respective advantages should be used to differentiate and cooperate in industries.

As for how the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area can better open up to the outside world, Professor Li Shanmin believes that trade should be transformed to service trade. He believes that the production service industry is the key of the service.
