本文凸显了香港和澳门在1980年以来中国的改革开放中所扮演的催化性角色。香港、澳门与珠三角密不可分的关系,是该地区乃至整个中国的成功转型和飞快经济增长的关键因素。珠三角在改革开放的领先和示范作用,源于经济特区。香港和澳门回归后,两个特区在“一国两制”框架下,继续扮演着其特殊而重要的角色。此角色在2000年代后期,珠三角进入全面融合阶段以来,更见周章。 This article highlights the catalytic role Hong Kong and Macao play in China’s reform and opening up since 1980. The inextricable relationship between Hong Kong, Macao and the PRD is a key factor in the successful transition and rapid economic growth in the region and throughout China. The PRD’s leading and demonstrating role in reform and opening up comes from the special economic zones. After the return of Hong Kong and Macao, the two special regions continue to play their special and important role under the framework of “one country, two systems ”. This role was even more evident in the late 2000’s when the PRD was in full integration.
