In an interview with the South China Morning Post last week Peter Yan King-shun, chief executive of Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company,
which is owned by the Hong Kong Government, said that Cyberport is at a special point in its history.
Its mission going forward will be to aid the city’s integration with the Greater Bay Area to create a hi-tech economic zone comprising Hong Kong,
Macau and nine cities in Guangdong province to
🟥rival Silicon Valley.❗️❗️❗️
“In the past, tensions between China and the US have created a lot of uncertainty. But now with our country’s plan for the Greater Bay Area … the direction has become far clearer,” said Yan.
