2019年,中國國家主席習近平親自籌劃了粵港澳大灣區計劃(大灣區)。這一國家級大型經濟計劃由四個核心城市和七個城市組成,核心城市包括香港、澳門、深圳和廣州,其餘城市則包括東莞、惠州、珠海、中山、江門、佛山和肇慶。大灣區是中國南方的重要經濟重地。這是中國首個以西方「灣區」概念為設計基礎的計劃,原因之一是中國希望其能夠成為媲美美國舊金山灣區和日本東京灣區的大型經濟城市群,以推動中國國內經濟發展。 為了更有效地發揮大灣區的整合作用,加强區內城市之間的緊密合作,中國政府在大灣區計劃中陸續推出了三大方案,《全面深化前海深港現代服務業合作區改革開放方案》(前海方案)和《橫琴粵澳深度合作區建設總體方案》(《橫琴方案》)。兩者方案是皆是涉及香港和澳門兩個特別行政區的方案,政策推行難度非常高。不僅需要面對「一國兩制」所帶來的各種挑戰,還受到香港反送中運動後形成的社會軟對抗的干擾,阻礙了前海合作區和橫琴合作區的發展,為其帶來挑戰。 本文擬探討中國在面對這些問題時,將會採取何種策略來解決兩個深合區所遇到的障礙。本研究將以過去兩者的發展歷程為引子,了解中國對其的規劃與願景,分析目前所推行的相關政策的成效,最後以新功能主義和中國國家治理的制度邏輯角度分析並推論影響其成效的因素。
In 2019, Chinese President Xi Jinping personally initiated the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) plan. This national-level economic initiative comprises four core cities—Hong Kong, Macao, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou—and seven other cities: Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Foshan, and Zhaoqing. The GBA serves as a significant economic hub in southern China and is the first Chinese project designed based on the Western "bay area" concept. One of its primary aims is to create an economic cluster on par with the San Francisco Bay Area in the United States and the Tokyo Bay Area in Japan, thereby enhancing China's domestic economic development. To fully leverage the integrative potential of the GBA and promote close cooperation among the cities, the Chinese government has introduced several major plans, including the "Comprehensive Deepening of the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone Reform and Opening-up Plan" (Qianhai Plan) and the "Overall Plan for the Construction of the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone" (Hengqin Plan). These plans, involving the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao, face significant challenges. They must address the complexities of the "one country, two systems" principle and contend with the social resistance that emerged after the Hong Kong anti-extradition bill protests, which hinders the development of the Qianhai and Hengqin cooperation zones. This paper aims to explore the strategies China will employ to overcome the obstacles faced by these two cooperation zones. By examining the historical development of these zones, understanding China's plans and vision for them, and assessing the effectiveness of current policies, the study will offer insights. It will also analyze and infer the factors influencing the success of these initiatives from the perspectives of neo-functionalism and the institutional logic of Chinese national governance.
