Professor Huang Yong pointed out that the construction of a national unified market is an extension of improving and strengthening the system and mechanism that strengthens the basic position of competition policy. It focuses on breaking down local protection and market segmentation, achieving the organic unification of market rules, promoting the wider flow of commodity factors, and realizing the domestic and international dual cycles of mutual promotion of supply and demand. To achieve innovative economic development, we should be based on the rule of law, marketization, and internationalization, clarify the division of roles between competition policy and industrial policy, improve the construction of institutions and mechanisms that strengthen the basic position of competition policy, use the fair competition review system as a starting point, standardize local investment promotion, optimize the business environment, coordinate the relationship between short-term development and long-term development, the relationship between economic development and industrial structure, and build an innovation-friendly market ecology. As a window to China and a gateway to the world, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area plays an exemplary role in the construction of a unified national market and has leading value in the process of realizing the unification of basic market systems and rules.
This conference has a total of eight focus groups, covering a number of hot topics, including competition and innovation in Hong Kong’s pillar industries (aviation, finance, technology and green transformation), the latest developments in China’s Anti-Monopoly Law, and the challenges of investigating and hearing cases involving innovative markets. Innovation is the driving force of economic growth. This conference aims to provide a platform for people from all walks of life to have in-depth discussions and share experiences, and to explore how competition laws and related policies can promote innovation. This meeting is also one of the activities of the Competition Commission to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the full entry into force of Hong Kong’s Competition Ordinance.
