China to Build Second Hong Kong

China is planning to build a second Hong Kong city in Nansha, a district in southern China’s Guangdong province.

Preliminary plans indicate a city of around 100 square kilometres will be built to help alleviate the development problems currently experienced by Hong Kong due to land shortages, protests and environmental concerns.

Hong Kong has an area of about 1,100 square kilometres and currently houses over seven million people.

The new city is expected to be developed into an international shipping hub. Its commercial importance will be boosted by the Guangdong free trade zone which was approved late last year. This zone will cover around 116 square kilometres.

China’s Xinhua news agency said the zone will deepen cooperation between Hong Kong and Macau which lies on the western side of the Pearl River Delta, across from Hong Kong.

Nansha faces the sea and is 38 nautical miles from Hong Kong and 41 nautical miles from Macau. In December 2013, Nansha Port hit the record of 10 million teu since it was open in 2004.

Local media reports that the new city could be completed by 2020. It is expected to have a GDP of $64 billion.

China has many world class cities and is busy building more.

There is no city like Hong Kong. PRC may build another large city, but it is not going to be another 'Hong Kong'. Hong Kong , by its nature as the Pearl of the Orient, is unique from many cities throughout Asia-Pacific. In context to history, culture, political governance, and demographic milieu.

With the increasingly powerful economy, numerous Hongkongs will spring up all over China. Chinese cities are booming everywhere at an eye popping speed.

But the culture in those areas won't be identical to Hong Kong SAR. I have been to Hong Kong plenty of times, and trust me, it is vastly different to say Shenzhen, Guangzhou. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say , "PRC plans to build more financial centers." Because i doubt the PRC will build new cities and implement a system of government on said city as that one seen in Hong Kong SAR.

To be accurate, China is going to build many better-than-Hongkong cities in the near future. Shanghai and Beijing's GDP have already overtook Hongkong's for some years, Guangzhou, Tianjing and Shenzhen are on the verge of overtaking, and many more will follow suit.

lol, i'm afraid you're not comprehending what i've tried to emphasize in my posts. But yes, i do hope the best in China's desire to build more financial centers. Albeit, they will not be 'another Hong Kong'.

I do understand what you are trying to say, you are right, colonial subculture there is something I really loathe, that's why I said "better-than-Hongkong" cities, booming cities without those scums.

Colonial rule also was the praxis that allowed Hong Kong to be integrated throughout the British-controlled ports in Asia , the Americas, Africa and Europe. It is this nature that allowed Hong Kong to become an International City early on , and this nature has retained itself in the current epoch. Thus Hong Kong is the conduit of foreign direct investments into China , Hong Kong's corporate laws are sound and is the model entity for PRC's structural reforms. This is the reason why Hong Kong Sar has one of the highest gdp per capitas in all of China , and the rest of Asia-Pacific, sans Macau (which also has a high gdp per capita and extremely high HDI; but then again that can be due in part to it being ruled by the Portuguese for close to half a millenia).

Hong Kong --- remains a center for culture, education (her universities are one of the best in the world), center for commerce and banking, and an international hub. It will remain so for the foreseeable future.

Every mega city has their own feel and characteristics; in this sense, the "nature and feel" may not be copied. But, in terms of development, efficiency, functions and other indicators, a similar or better city can be built. In this case, China, if it is willing, can build multiple Hong Kongs.

Certainly no one can build a Hong Kong history, but Hong Kong functionalities can be built.

This is a great news and probably a final nail on the coffin of the minority British colonial flag-holding traitors and agent provocateurs.

Center of culture? You Japanese may wish that be the case. But majority of us mainland Chinese do not agree. If they are the center of anything, their "occupy central movement" would've earned a little bit attention. Instead, not even a tiny bit of fkck was given from mainland. As China grows their "centerness" will be less and less, eventually they have to earn their keep just like the rest of us or migrate the center of their a$$es to U.K., U.S., Japan, or wherever.

what a fool. better not speak about things you know nothing about. macao was in bad shape before the handover. only developed super fast after the handover and the casino business boomed as the result of huge increase in wealth in china.

the reason why hong kong is rich largely because it was a gateway to china in the past century. but this is not the 20th century. hong kong is no longer a gateway. foreign investment now are going directly into china. however, hong kong is still an important financial centre for china, but its importance is diminishing.

I disagree, Venice was once an economic and cultural hub. In China's Guangzhao was the greatest seaport and later Quanzhao. Even time can grind stone to dust. Cities states cannot exist without a major power backing it.
