Additionally, Wu Jie-zhuang, a member of the Election Committee of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, stated that the “14th Five-Year Plan” represents the country’s development direction for the next five years and beyond. Hong Kong should fully leverage its advantages, focus on building the “Four Centers and One High Ground,” strengthen its status as an international financial, shipping, and trade center, and strive to become an international innovation and technology hub, aiming to elevate from the world’s third-largest international financial center to the second.
