What is the status of Hong Kong in the world?

I want to say that Hong Kong has a high position in the world. "Port Newland" refers to the three major centers in the world, new york, London and Hong Kong, not nonsense. If the five major cities in the world are new york, London, Hongkong, Paris and Tokyo. Our country's Beishangguang has not yet been shortlisted. An executive of a big American company is obviously much happier if he is stationed in Hong Kong for a long time than if he is sent to Beijing and Shanghai. This is hard power.

Actually, I can only say something emotional.

The first is the legal system. Hong Kong's legal system should be world-famous, because the legal system brings credit. This is also the reason why many domestic companies want to register their business signs in Hong Kong. Overseas trade is easier to trust because you are a Hong Kong company. Secondly, the intersection of eastern and western civilizations is very attractive. Looking at the most traditional things, Hong Kong has the most modern things, and so does Hong Kong. And public security is good and convenient. Let's not talk about it. In short, Hong Kong's return to China should be done well to make China's Hong Kong better. I am full of confidence in the future of Hong Kong.

The "internationalization" of the city represents the influence of world civilization on the city and the two-way process in which the city exerts influence on the international community. Judging from the following four rankings, there is no doubt about the internationalization of Hong Kong in the economic, especially financial fields. However, the shortcomings in the internationalization level of cultural and technological innovation are also obvious. In other words, while maintaining internationalization in the fields of economy, finance and urban management, Hong Kong's strong local culture leads to conservative and closed social fields, and it is also quite different from the international leading metropolises in the fields of scientific research and innovation.

The data of the last few think tanks are definitely better than "I heard that …" and "someone from our village went to Hong Kong …". List a simple directory for easy skipping.

1。 GaWC (Globalization and World Urban Research Network):

GaWC is a British-based think tank that studies globalization and urbanization. Cities around the world are divided into alpha++, alpha+, alpha, beta and so on every two years, covering a very wide range.

GaWC's reference index focuses on international communication and global influence. In popular parlance, it means "the city has a cold, and the whole world sneezes", while GaWC's indicators are mainly concentrated in the economic and financial fields. Therefore, Newport, the traditional three financial centers, and Singapore and Dubai, the rising stars, rank high in the fields of alpha++.

It is worth noting that in GaWC's list, Britain, English-speaking countries and former British colonies all rank higher. I wonder if it is because of prejudice.

For Hong Kong, the financial sector is the most international city in the Asia-Pacific region (Hong Kong surpassed Singapore in the GaWC ranking before 20 16), which is understandable, which is related to Hong Kong's unique free economic system in the Asia-Pacific region. However, with Singapore's catch-up in foreign exchange and commodities, I wonder how long Hong Kong can remain as a financial signboard.

2. Murray Memorial Foundation Urban Strategy Institute (MMF);

The Mori Memorial Consortium is a think tank located in Japan (Tokyo ranks third understandably, haha). Unlike GaWC, there are many non-economic indicators in Mori Minoru's ranking. This ranking is very obvious:

This data is close to many Zhihu's intuition.

Needless to say, the economic and natural environment and international accessibility can be seen from the fact that Hong Kong Airport ranks third in the world in international passenger flow and 1 in international freight volume.

In terms of scientific research, we can intuitively feel that the level of scientific research in Hong Kong is declining year by year from the fact that the University of Hong Kong has been gradually surpassed in the rankings of Asian universities this year.

Culturally, many people who have been to Hong Kong can also feel that the local culture in Hong Kong is very strong and the inclusiveness of foreign cultures is not high.

In the global urban pattern, there is a saying of "Port of Newland". Newland Port is actually a complex of new york, London and Hongkong. The three cities are the top three financial centers in the world, and they are also modern international metropolises. New york, London and Hongkong have become synonymous with globalization in Eliot's article A Tale of Three Cities. The financial network they built and the world economy they dominated are examples of globalization.

Hong Kong is not only one of the three largest financial centers in the world, but also an important international trade and shipping center, enjoying a high reputation in the world, with the reputation of "Pearl of the Orient" and "Shopping Paradise". In 20 18, it was rated as the third largest first-tier city in the world by GaWc, surpassing the established cities of Paris and Tokyo.

Among all the cities in China, Hong Kong has the highest international reputation and status. Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen in the Mainland are rising stars. Although their strength has surpassed that of Hong Kong in some fields, their comprehensive strength is still lower than that of Hong Kong. Take Shanghai as an example, its city size, population and economic scale have all surpassed Hong Kong, and even in shipping and finance, it has the potential to surpass Hong Kong. But in terms of global popularity and influence, Shanghai is still not as good as Hong Kong.

At the same time, Hong Kong is also an internationally renowned education center. There are world-renowned universities such as Hong Kong University, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, City University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Baptist University. Hong Kong universities occupy three or four seats among the top ten universities in Asia.

Hong Kong's pop culture has great influence in Asia, especially in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Hong Kong's music and movies are second to none in the Chinese world. Famous musicians such as Ka Kui Wong, Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, and famous actors such as Chow Yun Fat, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Maggie Cheung, Andy Lau, Tony Leung and Stephen Chow were born here.

In a word, it is the prosperity and progress in finance, shipping, trade, culture and education that makes Hong Kong an international city on par with new york and London.

As a model of "one country, two systems" in China, Hong Kong has always maintained a capitalist market and an independent financial system. The list published by the global urban competitiveness evaluation index system 20 18 is the most convincing. It can be said that the list examines all aspects of the city from the aspects of economic strength, resource potential, cultural cohesion, scientific and technological strength, innovation ability, opening tension, management efficiency and people's livelihood security. Among them, Hong Kong ranked seventh with a score of 9 1.96, and another city in the top ten was Shenzhen across the sea from Hong Kong, ranking tenth. Hong Kong's international competitiveness ranks first in the country and seventh in the world, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Hong Kong is also an international financial center as famous as London and new york, and occupies an important position in the world financial system. Hong Kong has an advanced settlement and payment system and is a large-scale global integrated service center. An international financial center that can support the huge domestic economy has a vertical and mobile market. In this market, the sources and uses of funds are diversified, and laws and regulatory systems can fully protect the fairness and regulatory functions of important agency relationships. As one of the three largest financial centers in the world, its influence has ranked third in the world.

Hong Kong's cultural influence is second to none. I believe many people know that Huo Yuanjia and Shanghai Beach, which were once popular in Asia, fully demonstrated Hong Kong's strong cultural penetration. The prevalence of gambling movies has made several generations of kings, and Chow Yun Fat, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Jackie Chan and other film and television superstars have risen one after another and become Asian superstars. The Chinese music scene in Hong Kong also occupies an important position, with a large number of singers emerging, such as G.E.M., Vivian Chow, Jacky Cheung and Wang Jie. This is a household name.

Hong Kong is also one of the three natural deep-water ports in the world, the mouth of the Pearl River Delta and the center of the coastal areas of South China, and its geographical position is quite superior. To sum up, Hong Kong has great influence in the world. Although it may be overtaken by cities such as Shanghai, it should not be underestimated. After all, it is amazing that the 6 million people in Hong Kong have achieved such excellent results.

Hong Kong is an important international financial, trade and shipping center in the Asia-Pacific region. It is an important shipping hub and one of the most competitive cities in the international and Asia-Pacific regions, and its economic freedom index ranks first in the world. Hong Kong is one of the "Four Little Dragons" in Asia. It is one of the richest and most developed economies in the world and the country with the highest standard of living.

Hong Kong is one of the three largest financial centers in the world. At present, the major financial centers in the world are London, new york and Hongkong. In terms of finance, it is in the forefront of the world in terms of system security, product diversification, liquidity and profitability. Its foreign investment scale is the third in Asia, with the second largest foreign exchange trading market in Asia and the fourth largest stock market in Asia and the eighth largest in the world. According to the latest Global Financial Center Index (GFCI), Hong Kong has surpassed Singapore, Tokyo and Seoul for three consecutive years to become the first international financial center in Asia and the third in the world.

Hong Kong is a global trade center. As Hong Kong is a zero-tariff free trade port, a large number of countries trade goods here and become a global distribution center for goods. In 20 16, the total amount of trade and cooperation services reached10 billion USD. Trade and logistics account for 23% of Hong Kong's GDP. Employ 700,000 people. Due to the high development of trade, it has been praised as a shopping paradise internationally since 1970s.

Singapore, Hong Kong and London rank among the three largest international shipping centers in the world. As a hub of water transport and aviation, Hong Kong has an excellent deep-water port and is the second largest container port in the world, which plays a decisive role in the world. In the comprehensive strength ranking of 20 18 international shipping center, Hong Kong ranks in the top two. In the future, as a global trade hub and an international shipping center, Hong Kong will play an important role in the process of the Belt and Road Initiative and the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Hong Kong has a complete legal system and attaches importance to the spirit of contract. Here, we are not afraid of being strong, careless or rotten, that is, the rule of law.

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area published yesterday specifically mentioned the Hong Kong Legal Arbitration Dispute Resolution Center. This is also the reason why Hong Kong enjoys an international reputation as a clean government.

Hong Kong is a natural deep-water port, and there is no need for dredging all year round. There are many ports along the coast of China, but there is only one in Hong Kong. It is also a world-famous duty-free port and the world's three major financial centers. If necessary, you can leave Hong Kong with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash at once and go around the world freely. Customs doesn't need your notice and won't stop you. This is a free financial center.

One of China is Shanghai and the other is Hongkong, both of which are very important cities in China.

Port Newland, new york and London all know that Hong Kong is on their side. World financial center, trade center.

International Financial Center

Without the strong backing of the mainland, it would only be a small fish port before 100.
