As a national strategy, the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is of great significance. The Pearl River Delta is one of the core regions of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and important for the upgrading of innovative manufacturing industries. It is important to enhance the competitiveness of those areas and optimize industrial structure by promoting the division of labor between cities. The quantitative research on the industrial agglomeration and industrial isomorphism of the manufacturing industry in nine cities in the Pearl River Delta shows that each city has formed its specialized manufacturing industry, and the phenomenon of industrial isomorphism has been improved by the unified planning of the manufacturing industry in the Pearl River Delta.

Subject The Great Bay Area development plan for the Pearl River Delta. Significance Last month officials released the ‘Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area’, the blueprint for integrating the region around the Pearl River Delta, including the cities of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Macau, Zhuhai and Dongguan. The region is among China’s wealthiest, as one of the first to open to outside investment in the 1980s. In theory, the Greater Bay Area would comprise a significant part of China’s population and economy, covering a total population of 70 million and a combined GDP of 1.5 trillion dollars. Impacts Technology and finance are the sectors most likely to benefit. Integration would in theory allow cities to specialise, freeing up resources currently used on less competitive sectors. Many in Hong Kong fear being left behind economically, but there is no consensus that integration is the answer.

AbstractThis paper explores how the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) has been trying to incorporate post-1997 Hong Kong into the framework of a Greater China. The construction of two ‘narratives’ are examined: the grand narrative of Chinese history in secondary school textbooks in Hong Kong; and the development of a new regional framework of the Pearl River Delta. The first narrative, which focuses on the past, signals the PRC government's desire to inculcate through education a deeper sense of collective identity as patriotic citizens of China amongst residents of Hong Kong. The second narrative, which represents a futuristic imagining of a regional landscape, rewrites the trajectory of Hong Kong by merging the city with the Pearl River Delta region. However, these narrative strategies have triggered ambivalent responses from people in Hong Kong, especially the generations born after 1980. In their discursive battles against merging with the mainland, activists have sought to instil a collective memory that encourages a counter-imagination of a particular kind of Hong Kong that draws from the pre-1997 past. This conflict pits activists and their supporters against officials in the local government working to move Hong Kong towards integration with greater Guangdong and China at large. But the local resistance discourses are inadequate because they are constrained by their own parochial visions and colonial nostalgia.

Following the return of Hong Kong to Chinese jurisdiction in 1997, there has been concern about the potential marginalization of Hong Kong within China's development. We argue that far from being marginalized, Hong Kong together with the Pearl River Delta is becoming the most dynamic region within China.
