The vice president of Renmin University points out that Hong Kong's innovation and technology lacks industry chain support

Liu Yuanchun said that Hong Kong has advantages in terms of innovation and technology, such as having 5 universities within the top 100 in QS rankings and pursuing a low tax system.

However, he mentioned that Hong Kong’s innovation and technology development has encountered many constraints, including lack of industrial chain support, lack of a complete industrial chain from theory, technology, industry to market, average R&D personnel, but high R&D costs, and the SAR government’s Insufficient investment in scientific research.

For example, he pointed out that Hong Kong's R&D expenditure accounts for 0.85% of the overall GDP, while Shenzhen's R&D expenditure accounts for 4.2% of GDP, which is four times that of Hong Kong.

He believes that Hong Kong cannot simply rely on the mainland to face the world, but to integrate into the mainland and face the world. Hong Kong should make good use of the mainland's super market to develop an innovation chain and an industrial chain.

He said that Hong Kong has legal and financial advantages and wants to become a center of intellectual property trade and a transfer station for research and development between China and the world.

The Vice President of HKUST said that Hong Kong has cultivated many talents but failed to create value for Hong Kong

Ni Mingxuan said that the most important thing for the development of innovation and technology is talents. Hong Kong is most proud of the fact that there are many top universities in the world, but the question is whether the talents cultivated can create more value for Hong Kong. For example, Hong Kong has cultivated many outstanding talents. PhD students, but in the end all went to Europe, America, Singapore and other places, thinking that Hong Kong must be integrated into the Greater Bay Area for scientific research and development to play a greater role.

He also mentioned that Hong Kong does not lack good plans, but its execution is insufficient. Administrative procedures should be simplified. "Check and balances are good, but they also need to be balanced." For example, the Guangzhou campus of HKUST was completed in 450 days. Buildings are very efficient, and it takes at least one year for Hong Kong to review projects alone.

Liang Zhenying: Hong Kong can no longer produce an irresponsible Legislative Council

Liang Zhenying pointed out that we must find ways to keep talents in Hong Kong, especially in the technology sector.

He went on to say that when he was the chief executive, he proposed to establish an Innovation and Technology Bureau many times, but was "pulled to death" by the Legislative Council. It was not successful until the third proposal. As a result, more than two years were wasted.

He believes that Hong Kong can no longer produce such an irresponsible Legislative Council. Hong Kong people must learn from the pain.

Xu Ze said Hong Kong should contribute to national security

Xu Ze believes that Hong Kong has geographical advantages and will definitely make a difference in the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.

He pointed out that "One Country, Two Systems" is the best system to maintain Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability. The Central Government has successively formulated the "Hong Kong Area National Security Law" and improved the electoral system. It is precisely to eliminate the interference of external forces and bring Hong Kong back to the right track of "One Country, Two Systems". The general public in Hong Kong supports the central government's measures, which are described as popular.

He said that some people think that the central government’s improvement of the electoral system is a retrogression in democracy. It is completely nonsense. They emphasized that "One Country, Two Systems" and the Basic Law have not changed. What should be changed is that those who govern Hong Kong must deeply understand the connotation of "One Country, Two Systems" and let Hong Kong While sharing national dividends, it also contributes to national security.
