Alliance Overview
The development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Areais a national strategy personally planned, deployed, and promoted by President Xi Jinping. The "Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" clearly states the need to support enhanced cooperation among think tanks in the Mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao to provide intellectual support for the development of the Greater Bay Area. With the support of the Liaison Offices of the Central People’s Government in Hong Kong and Macao and the governments of the three regions, the China Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area Think Tank Alliance (referred to as the "Think Tank Alliance") was officially established in June 2023.
The Think Tank Alliance brings together think tanks and research institutions from the Mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao. It serves as a high-level platform for exchange and cooperation, conducts major policy research, organizes high-end international forums, and fosters broad consensus across society. It plays a strategic advisory and bridging role, contributing intellectual strength to the construction of the Greater Bay Area.
The Think Tank Alliance is committed to promoting integration within the Greater Bay Area and advancing global cooperation and development. It aims to leverage its unique role to share the Greater Bay Area’s story with the world, amplify its voice, and collaborate with international think tanks to foster mutual benefits between China and the world, contributing intellectual strength to the just cause of peace and development for humanity.
