Foshan

Foshan is a city located in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) of mainland China. It is newsworthy due to its role in the ongoing integration efforts between Hong Kong and the mainland. Recently, Xia Baolong, Beijing’s top official overseeing Hong Kong and Macau affairs, visited Foshan as part of a fact-finding trip to GBA cities. The purpose of this trip was to explore ways to deepen Hong Kong's integration into the national blueprint. Foshan's inclusion in this trip highlights its strategic importance within the GBA and its potential to contribute to Hong Kong's economic growth. Furthermore, the GBA's increasing revenue contribution to companies like Hong Kong's TVB underscores the region's growing economic significance and Foshan's role within it.
