11月28日上午,在2021亚洲青年领袖论坛“粤港澳大湾区合作发展”主题论坛平行对话中,粤港澳大湾区电子商会理事长翁振轩就“港澳青年依托大湾区求发展前景广阔”的话题发表了自己的观点。
摘录如下:
我是改革开放那一年出生的,20岁大学毕业的时候,从三藩市(旧金山)的湾区来到我们现在的粤港澳大湾区。我见证了深圳、东莞、澳门、江门从制造业到世界工厂乃至于到现在的世界消费市场,感受特别深。我们选择在大湾区安身立业,是怀着一颗感恩的心,我们吃到了国家发展的红利。
在澳门这几年,我们也投资了相关的一些青年培训计划。在澳门江门青年会中,祖籍在广东尤其是江门的澳门人,青年人大概占了1/3以上的比例。我们希望能够借这个机会跟湾区互动,把这些青年人才引进到这里。
此前,澳门的产业链比较单一,但青年人需要就业多元化。澳门也有它的特色,科技大学、澳门大学,人才培养计划等院校机构全部用外语去教学,拥有很多的人才。但是因为澳门结构性的问题,我们没有办法留住全部的人才,因此我们希望跟广州、南沙进行多元化的交流。
特别感谢南沙区领导让我知道,原来他们跟香港的交流做得很成功,他们有2000个名额,每个补助1.8万,其中政府补助9000元,孵化了很多成功的企业。我们希望未来南沙也给我们这个机会,让我们带着我们的青年人多多地过来,真正融入大湾区。澳门、香港、还有广州,江门这些都是讲广东话为主的地方。我以前在深圳也待了8年,然后口音都乱掉了,所以其实这些人生活的匹配融入度是最高的。
澳门另外还有一个机会,在于我们是一国两制最好的模范生。因为香港媒体对接英美比较多,但是我们对接葡语系的欧洲各国,特别是葡国。相对来说,我们在媒体上发声比较国际化、比较客观,可以真正把中国好的企业、中国青年人的发展故事,透过一个客观公正的方式让全世界知道。
澳门青年协会也是在澳门第一个申请到联合国做实习的一个组织,未来商会其中一个目的是引进来、走出去。除了来大湾区进行创业外,我们希望由大湾区政府借由澳门这个平台,一起在未来十年之内,申请到1000个青年到联合国做实习的机会。另外,我们的电子商会是跟中国电子商务部合作的,前两年的上海进博会我们也是支持单位。我们现在有电商有市场了,我们可以把联合国的人带过来。其实,外国人很想做中国的生意,以前只有大品牌可以做,现在有很多小的、乡村的、有特色、有故事的品牌进入我们的消费市场,相信它是可以的。我们不要只喝这个台酒啤酒,其实有好多好的啤酒的。我们希望澳门作为一个平台,依靠大湾区把人才引进来,希望产生这样的互动。
On 28 November,Sean Own, Chairman of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Electronics Chamber of Commerce, shared his thoughts on settling down in the Greater Bay Area at the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Cooperation and Development Forum of the Asia Youth Leaders Forum 2021.
The full speech is as below.
I was born in the year when the Reform and Opening up began.After I graduated from university at the age of 20, I came to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (the Greater Bay Area, GBA) from the San Francisco Bay Area. I've witnessed how Shenzhen, Dongguan, Macao, and Jiangmen developed from manufacturers to world factories, and even to the world's consumer markets now. I was quite impressed. I chose to settle down here at the GBA, because I am grateful, and because we've benefited a lot from national development.
During the past years in Macao, we've invested in some youth-related training programs. Meanwhile, I'm a representative of MacaoAssociation of Jiangmen Youths. Over a third of Macao youths whose ancestral home are Jiangmen City orGuangdong Province are living in Macao. We hopeto take this opportunity to bring these talents to the GBA, and provide them with a better environment for more exchanges.
Previously, there werenot many industries in Macao, but young people needed to diversify their employment choices. However, Macao has its own characteristics. In the Macau University of Science and Technology and the University of Macau, all talent-training programs are taught in foreign languages, and students there are quite excellent. However, due to the structural problems in Macao, we cannot retain all the talents, so we are looking forward to more diversified exchanges with people in Nansha District and Guangzhou.
I'm particularly grateful to the leadershipof Nansha District. With their introduction, I know that they have great achievements in the cooperation with Hong Kong through the Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme. This scheme provides 2,000 jobs, a salary of no less than HKD 18,000, includinga government subsidy of HKD 9,000, and hasincubated many successful enterprises. We hope that Nansha District can also give us this opportunity in the future so that we can enable more and more young people to truly integrate into the Greater Bay Area. Besides, Jiangmen, Macao, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou are predominantly Cantonese-speaking places. I had been in Shenzhenfor eight years, and my accent has already changed. I believe those young people will get used to the life here soon.
There's another opportunity in Macao. Theopportunity is that we are the best model of“One Country, Two Systems”. Most media in Hong Kong are connected to the UK and the US, and perhaps we have more connection with Portuguese-speaking countries and European countries like Portugal. Bycomparison, we are relatively more global-minded and objective in our coverage, and we can really tellthe world more about these excellent Chinese enterprises and the stories of Chinese young peoplein an international, objective, and impartial way.
Macao Youth Federationbecame the first organization in Macao that could apply for internship in the United Nations. One of the goals of the Electronics Chamber of Commerce is to "bring in" and "go global". In addition to taking part in the development of the Greater Bay Area, we hope that the GBA will use Macao as a platform to apply for 1,000 youth internships at the United Nations in the next ten years. Besides, the Electronics Chamber of Commerce is cooperating with the ministry supervising electronics. We were also one of the supporting entities of the China International Import Expo two years ago. Now we've got e-commerce and the market, and we are trying to bring in some people from the UN. Foreigners do want to do business with China. In the past, only big brands could enter the Chinese market. Nowadays, however, many small brands and brands from rural areas that are distinctive and full of stories can alsohave access to the consumer market.
We don't have to prefer only one kind of beer. We have many kinds of beer. Wehope that Macao can be a platform to bring in more talents and facilitateinteraction and cooperation.
