Macao's various sectors: Implementing the Outline of the 15th Five Year Plan, leveraging unique advantages to better integrate and serve the overall development of the country
2026-03-16
The national '15th Five Year Plan' outline contains rich content related to Macao and points out the direction for Macao's future development. Liu Benli, President of the Macao Economic Society, stated that Macao should truly implement the plan outline, fully leverage its unique advantages such as' Macao+Hengqin ', and better integrate and serve the overall development of the country. The "15th Five Year Plan" outline passed at the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress includes "promoting long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao" as a chapter, and makes a series of important planning arrangements to support Hong Kong and Macao in consolidating and enhancing their competitive advantages, better integrating into and serving the overall development of the country. Regarding this, various sectors in Macau have expressed great encouragement and believe that in actively and closely aligning with the national "15th Five Year Plan", all construction projects in Macau will usher in a new chapter. Implementing the new development positioning of "Macao+Hengqin" and accelerating the construction of the Hengqin Guangdong Macao Deep Cooperation Zone is an important task for the development of Macao. The planning outline emphasizes "deepening the integrated development of Qinhuangdao and Macao". In response, the Chief Executive of the Macao Special Administrative Region, Cen Haohui, pointed out that it is necessary to actively strengthen cooperation with Guangdong, fully utilize the unique advantages of "Macao+Hengqin", jointly increase investment, and promote the construction of the cooperation zone to achieve new breakthroughs and leaps. Enhance the industrial linkage between Qinhuangdao and Macao, accurately attract investment and talent, and promote the coordinated development of various industries. Shi Jialun, a representative of the National People's Congress of Macau and the President of the Guangdong Macau Federation of Industry and Commerce, believes that currently, the cooperation zone is focusing on building a high-level open and integrated new system with Macau. In the future, it should further encourage leading technology enterprises in mainland China and universities in Macau to jointly build "innovation consortia" in fields such as traditional Chinese medicine and integrated circuits, and explore the collaborative model of "cutting-edge research in Macau+engineering transformation in mainland China+landing of Hengqin industry". The Aoqin International Education (University) City is one of the landmark projects of the integration of Qin and Macao. The University of Macau will take this as a leading demonstration, lay out science and technology colleges such as medical engineering and information technology, focus on cutting-edge interdisciplinary fields, and create a high-level industry university research platform. ”Song Yonghua, president of the University of Macao, said that this project will help Macao build a highland of international high-end talents and serve Hengqin, Guangdong and Macao for in-depth cooperation and moderate economic diversification. One center, one platform, one base "is the unique positioning of Macau's economic and social development. Macao SAR Legislative Council member Liu Zhiyi noticed that the planning outline uses the word "deepening" to describe this development positioning, which means that its construction has gone through the stage of compacting foundations, erecting platforms, and erecting columns and beams, and officially entered the "deep water area" of intensive cultivation. Based on the planning outline's proposal to "leverage the advantages of professional services to assist enterprises in 'going global'", Shi Jialun said that this requires Macau to go beyond its traditional role as a commercial intermediary and promote the expansion of platform functions to high-end fields such as rule linkage and professional services. He said that Macau has a professional service system that is in line with international standards in finance, law, accounting, consulting, and is familiar with international rules and market practices. In the future, these advantages can be further strengthened to make Macau the interface for mainland enterprises to connect with international rules and standards. Li Congzheng, member of the National Committee of the CPPCC and vice president of the Macao Federation of Trade Unions, believes that Macao can systematically integrate its communication resources with Portuguese speaking countries and jointly build the "the Belt and Road" countries, provide mainland enterprises with a database of certified suppliers and compliance guidance for "going overseas", and reduce cross-border business risks. This year is also the beginning year of Macau's "Three Five" plan. People here generally agree that it is necessary to actively and closely align with the national "15th Five Year Plan", focus on the overall development of the country, and strengthen the forward-looking, proactive, and scientific preparation of the "3-5" plan for Macau. At present, the preliminary research and discussion work of Macau's "Three Five" plan and the preparation of consultation texts are being carried out in an orderly manner, and a public consultation is planned for mid April. Liu Benli believes that the SAR government should adopt a more scientific and pragmatic approach in formulating the "Three Five" plan for Macau, achieving clear goals, feasible measures, and effective implementation. Special efforts should be made to deepen the construction of "one center, one platform, one base", vigorously promote moderate and diversified economic development, deepen the integration of Qinhuangdao and Macao, and enable Macao to better integrate into and serve the overall development of the country. We should thoroughly study the outline of the national '15th Five Year Plan' and promote the high-quality formulation of the '3-5' plan for Macau, using it as a key carrier to undertake national strategies and overcome structural bottlenecks. ”Vice President of the City University of Macau, Ye Guiping, said that only by actively connecting and making precise efforts can the "needs of the country and the strengths of Macau" be effectively transformed into development advantages. Liu Yahuang, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and President of the Macao Returned Overseas Chinese Association, stated that the formulation of the "Three Five" Plan for Macao should not only focus on Macao's development, but also consider better integration and service to the overall development of the country; Not only should we grasp the issues of direction, principles, and paths, but we should also effectively plan and propose a number of key measures, so that the country's development positioning and various advantages enjoyed by Macao can truly be transformed into driving force for economic and social development. The recently published Macau Daily pointed out that when top-level design is combined with grassroots wisdom, and national strategies are in line with Macau's needs, Macau's development will have inexhaustible momentum. We hope that all sectors can unite and look far ahead, work together with the SAR government to draw a blueprint and open up a new chapter, and promote Macao's steady and far-reaching implementation of the great practice of "One Country, Two Systems".
