赵克锋回应CGTN：横琴是澳门“十五五”期间的“制度答案”

香港新闻社9月6日北京电 昨日在中央广播电视总台CGTN《China 24》节目的连线报道中，欧亚研究院政治与科技研究中心主任赵克锋就粤澳深度合作区的发展前景发表了深度点评。他指出，随着中国“十五五”规划的即将开启，横琴对于面积仅33平方公里、经济仍高度依赖博彩业的澳门而言，不仅是地理空间上的延伸，更是破解其经济结构单一难题的“制度答案”。

赵克锋表示，自粤澳深度合作区成立以来，两地互联互通已取得实质性进展。目前已有超过6500家澳门投资企业在横琴注册，约2万名澳门居民在此生活或工作。尽管横琴GDP已突破500亿元人民币，但更具深远意义的是海关联合查验、专业资格互认以及“双15%”税收优惠等制度性红利的落地。在“十五五”期间，横琴的角色将从物理拓展向“创新引擎”转变，探索澳门自由港优势如何在“一国两制”框架下进一步延伸，并为澳门年轻专业人士提供一条跳出博彩业的可靠发展路径。衡量这一进程的核心指标，不仅是GDP增速，更在于横琴能否真正成为澳门未来的“第二家园”，从而确立澳门相较于香港不可替代的独特角色。

针对澳门发展高科技与中医药产业面临的经典“小型经济体难题”，赵克锋认为横琴的出现彻底改变了这道“算术题”。澳门拥有充裕的资金和广泛的国际网络，但受制于有限的实验室空间、人才储备和产业规模；而横琴恰好补齐了这些短板。目前，横琴粤澳中医药科技产业园已吸引超过220家注册企业，其中约四分之一来自澳门；高科技领域更汇聚了300多家国家级高新技术企业。通过联合研发资助和共享实验室，澳门在微电子和中医药领域的国家重点实验室，获得了通往中试生产和内地审批的直接路径。

赵克锋进一步分析称，澳琴双方的互补性十分精准：澳门提供国际认证、葡语国家市场准入和自由港资本；横琴则提供土地、人才和庞大的内地市场。展望“十五五”，这一合作模式有望从目前的“联合入驻”升级为深度的“联合生产”——即“澳门诞生中医药配方或芯片设计，横琴实现规模化生产，再经由澳门网络出口”。这不仅将推动澳门的产业多元化，更标志着大湾区内一种全新分工格局的成型。

CGTN's China 24 Focus: Zhao Kefeng Says Hengqin is an "Institutional Answer" for Macao in the 15th Five-Year Plan

[Hong Kong News Agency] Yesterday (Sept. 5), during a live connection on CGTN's China 24 program by China Media Group, Zhao Kefeng, Director of the Center for Politics and Technology at the Eurasia Research Institute, delivered an in-depth commentary on the development prospects of the Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone. He pointed out that as China’s 15th Five-Year Plan approaches, Hengqin represents more than a geographic extension for Macao—a 33-square-kilometre economy still heavily reliant on gaming. Instead, it serves as an "institutional answer" to breaking the deadlock of a single-pillar economy.

Zhao noted that substantial progress has been made in connectivity since the establishment of the Cooperation Zone. Currently, over 6,500 Macao-invested enterprises are registered in Hengqin, and approximately 20,000 Macao residents live or work there. While Hengqin’s GDP has surpassed 50 billion yuan, the more profound significance lies in the implementation of institutional dividends, such as joint customs operations, mutual recognition of professional qualifications, and a dual 15% tax regime. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Hengqin’s role will shift from physical expansion to an "innovation engine." It will explore how Macao’s free-port advantages can be further extended under the "one country, two systems" framework, providing young Macao professionals with a reliable career path beyond the casino floor. The core metric for this progress is not just GDP growth, but whether Hengqin can truly become a "second home" for Macao’s future, thereby establishing Macao’s irreplaceable role compared to Hong Kong.

Addressing the classic "small-economy dilemma" Macao faces in developing high technology and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Zhao believes Hengqin has completely changed the arithmetic. While Macao possesses ample funding and extensive international networks, it is constrained by limited laboratory space, talent pools, and industrial scale. Hengqin perfectly fills these gaps. The TCM Science and Technology Industrial Park in Hengqin has attracted over 220 registered companies, with roughly a quarter originating from Macao. In the high-tech sector, more than 300 national high-tech enterprises have gathered. Through joint R&D grants and shared laboratories, Macao’s state key laboratories in microelectronics and TCM have gained a direct pathway to pilot production and mainland regulatory approval.

Zhao further analyzed that the complementarity between Macao and Hengqin is highly precise: Macao provides global accreditation, Portuguese-speaking market access, and free-port capital, while Hengqin supplies land, talent, and the vast mainland market. Looking ahead to the 15th Five-Year Plan, this cooperation model is expected to upgrade from "co-location" to deep "co-production"—meaning TCM formulas or chip designs born in Macao will be scaled up in Hengqin and exported through Macao’s international networks. This will not only drive Macao’s industrial diversification but also mark the formation of a brand-new division of labor within the Greater Bay Area.
