GUANGDONG-HONG KONG-MACAO GREATER BAY AREA

On the Governance Mechanism of Cross-border Financial Data Flows in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area 4

LI Lisha,PENG Ziying

Abstract: In the process of promoting the digital Bay Area, the circulation of cross-border data elements has become a more and more frequent trend,among which the flow of financial data accounts for a considerable proportion and has a profound impact on economic development.Based on its advantages in finance,information,economy, and regional location, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area can serve as a suitable test platform for cross-border data flow and provide reference for the reform of cross-border financial data management across China. Problems do exist, though, such as conflicts of rules for cross-border financial data flow, difficulties in coordinating and unifying financial data regulatory systems, and incomplete financial data sharing mechanisms. The paper constructs a three-dimensional cross-border financial data governance mechanism in the Greater Bay Area from the macro,medium and micro dimensions at multiple levels.It is suggested to optimize the top-level framework for managing cross-border financial data flows in the Greater Bay Area, and formulate an inclusive and orderly mechanism for rules abutment at the macro-level; to explore an innovative regulatory system for cross-border financial data flow and improve financial supervision and collaborations at the meso-level;and to establish a mechanism to link financial data sharing with a view to open channels for data sharing and the construction of the digital economy in the Greater Bay Area,so as to promote the integration of Hong Kong and Macao into the overall development of China.

ZHONG Yun,HU Huan

Abstract:Modern finance is an important driving force to promote the moderately diversified development of Macao's economy and the construction of China-Portugal business cooperation service platform. Starting from the analysis of policy texts,this study reviews the measures taken by the Macao SAR Government to promote modern finance and its achievements since Macao's return to China, focuses on the evolution characteristics of modern financial policies in Macao and the development trend of modern financial industry. It analyzes the relationship between modern financial industry and the trade between Macao and Portuguese-speaking countries, offering suggestions for the development of Macao's modern financial industry. It is found that the concerns of modern financial policies in Macao include renminbi business, wealth management and financial leasing. Relying on cross-border cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Macao's modern financial industry has been developed in an orderly manner,and is currently focusing on the bond market.According to the quantitative results, there is a positive interaction between Macao's modern financial industry and the trade development between Macao and Portuguese-speaking countries,but its impact is still small and needs further strengthening.

Strong Market of Intellectual Property:From “Potential” to “Advantage” 33

CHENG Wenyin,PAN Xia,HU Angang

Abstract:China's intellectual property has gone through an important leap from “mechanism” to “strategy” and is experiencing a great leap from “big” to “strong”.As an important starting point to become a power of intellectual property rights power (IPR), China further proposed its municipal IPR strategies. The rapid development of reform and opening up has formed a huge potential for IPR.However,this huge “potential” has not been well transformed into a strong “advantage”,and the gap between science and technology and industry are important factors hindering the transformation of potential. Starting from the concept path of “scientific knowledge - technical knowledge - technical product - industrialization - socialization”, this paper systematically analyzes the path and countermeasures of strengthening the market of intellectual property, including strengthening the construction of the whole innovation chain; transforming IPR into science and technology productivity, especially the policy coordination between science and technology departments and intellectual property offices; transforming scientific and technological productivity into social productivity, and truly realizing the mutual linkage between municipal IPR strategies and an IPR power.

The Dilemma Between Innovation and Regional Industrial Development: Patent Pool as the Solution 42

WANG Zhitao,YE Jian,XU Lu

Abstract: Innovation has long been faced with the dilemma of “high investment，low return”.As the main carrier of innovative technology, the economic values of intellectual property right have been seriously underestimated and were far from being fully utilized. The industrial economic development of various regions has fallen into a serious homogenization dilemma due to the consensus of “rebuild the city by industry”.In this context,this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the reasons behind such dilemma, points out the crux of the problem from the perspective of industry management, and then proposes three countermeasures to solve the problem, that is, patent data transparency and standardization based on artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, reorganizing the industrial chain through patents,and establishing and operating industrial patent pool.

A Greater Bay Area Legal Service Solution for Patent Circulation Driven by Intelligent Valuation 51

YE Xiang

Abstract:Due to the characteristics of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,ranging over different legal jurisdictions and having different industrial features, the legal service scheme of cross-border patent circulation in the Greater Bay Area is complicated.In the era of artificial intelligence,under the background of the national intellectual property strategy being implemented, intelligent valuation as an innovation factor is the driving force to promote patents circulation in the Greater Bay Area. First of all, the scope of the Greater Bay Area legal service scheme for patent circulation combines the initial assessment based on intelligent valuation with the final assessment with deep manual intervention. Secondly, the quantification of patent value needs the macroscopic guidance of industry standards or guidelines.Furthermore,a set of multiple application scenarios is an alternative solution to patent portfolio valuation. Meanwhile, it is necessary to carry out three kinds of risk investigation, including core patent ownership risk,title risk in service invention and the integrity of patent property chain.

YANG Shuo,SHI Fei

Abstract: In this paper, mobile phone signaling, Internet big data, and other multi-source data are used to analyze the influencing factors of urban population spatial distribution and their mechanisms. Geographical detector and OLS are used to identify the leading influencing factors. It is found that employment position, distance, housing price and land use mixing degree have significant effects on the spatial distribution of population. Geographical weighted regression model is used to analyze the spatial heterogeneity of the effects of the four factors above on population distribution.Results show that the population distribution in the central urban area of Nanjing has obvious agglomeration, the spatial heterogeneity of the effect of different factors is strong, and the hierarchical clustering of the effect is spatially compatible with the functional groups of the city.

Research on the Measurement and Influencing Factors of Regional Coordinated Development From the Perspective of the Chinese Path to Modernization 100

CHA Tingjun

Abstract: In the process of the Chinese path to modernization, regional coordinated development is not only an important part of high-quality development, but also an inevitable requirement for achieving common prosperity.This paper selects the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city clusters to measure their degree of regional coordinated development since 2017. Results show that the level of regional coordinated development is relatively high in the Yangtze River Delta, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the Pearl River Delta, and Beijing and Tianjin in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region,but relatively low in other cities and regions.The degree of dispersion of regional coordinated development level has been increasing since 2017, and the difference between cities of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regional coordinated development level was much higher than that of the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta. Further, through empirical analysis of the factors affecting regional coordinated development, it is found that the coordination degree of economic development is the most crucial factor,followed by the coordination degree of social development and of ecological environment.

Study on the Influence of Urban International Communication on International Students in China:An Empirical Analysis Based on 53 Cities 113

FAN Ming

Abstract: Improving the external communication effect of a city's image is one of the important factors attracting international students to China. This study examines the impact of urban international communication on the scale of international students from two aspects: urban spatial communication and urban media image. It is found that the scale of international students is highly unbalanced in Chinese cities,and the media image based on international public evaluation has the greatest impact on the scale of international students,while the government,enterprises and other communication subjects also have a positive impact on the scale of international students.Therefore, it is necessary to mobilize multiple subjects to enhance the effectiveness of international communication,help improve the scale and quality of international students,and provide clues for communication studies on promoting the education for international students in China.

Emergency Response Capability of Urban Lifeline System: An Analytical Framework Based on Resilient City Theory 123

HUANG Yong,SHE Lian

Abstract:The urban lifeline system is a key infrastructure to maintain a city's operation and coordinate its development and safety, but it faces more and more challenges in response to the increasingly frequent urban emergencies. Existing studies mainly focus on the safety of the urban lifeline system and its role in maintaining city's daily functions, but rarely on its emergency function and resilience in urban public management. Based on the perspective of resilient city theory and starting from the attributes of urban lifeline system facilities,the spatial characteristics of the pipeline-and-network of the urban lifeline system and the development and urban security functions undertaken by the urban lifeline system are sorted out,and an emergency capability framework for the urban lifeline system that adapts to its functions is proposed, and further subdivided into five specific evaluation dimensions.Combined with practical observation and literature research, this paper analyzes the status-quo of the emergency capacity of the urban lifeline system, and on this basis, puts forward targeted optimization countermeasures for the emergency capacity of the urban lifeline system in order to provide reference for the improvement of urban infrastructure security and resilience.

Policy Characteristics and Functional Orientation of the Construction of Social Psychological Service System:An Analysis Based on the Policy Texts of Pilot Areas 135

LYU Xiaokang,JIANG Hao

Abstract: Social psychological service system is an important component of modern governance system in China.Through content analysis of the policy texts from 32 pilot areas of social psychological services, this study analyzes the overall characteristics of the construction of social psychological service system from the two aspects of policy characteristics and functional orientation.It is found that most pilot areas take the implementation of the “modernization of governance capacity” as their fundamental guiding ideology, and strive to form a pluralistic co-governance pattern by building a social psychological service platform, providing hierarchical mental health services in different groups, and setting up three service groups including full-time, part-time and voluntary staffs. Therefore, it reflects the triple governance expectations, including the construction of social psychological service system is the cooperation function of strengthening social governance, the guarantee function of improving individual mental health level,and the administrative function of promoting the realization of policy goals.This provides a basis for understanding the overall situation of the construction of social psychological service system based on policy text analysis.
