Hong Kong’s hub and connector status – serving as a gateway between Mainland China and the rest of the world, and a pivot point for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and the new Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) – makes the city a natural focus point for the Belt and Road Initiative.
Under the recently implemented 3+4 COVID quarantine rules, travellers arriving from overseas or Taiwan need to spend three days in a quarantine hotel followed by four days in their own accommodation under medical surveillance. During those four days they must contact rapid antigen (RAT) tests. They can visit their workplaces and shops for essentials, but are excluded from public venues such as restaurants.
As pivot points between Mainland China and the rest of the world, Hong Kong and the broader Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area both have key roles to play in the Belt and Road Initiative. As COVID-19 restrictions ease and physical gatherings are made easier, government and business leaders from around the world will converge on Hong Kong for the Belt and Road Summit at the end of this month.
