With the comprehensively fast-growing Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, cities within the Area including Zhuhai are attracting more global attentions, with more topics and opportunities for branding.
"The Greater Bay Area works as a window for China to show its reform and opening-up globally, and also an engine deepening cooperation between China and the world," said Patrick Nijs, co-founder of EU-China Joint Innovation Center (Beijing-Brussel). "Zhuhai, the only city in mainland connected with both Hong Kong and Macao by a land bridge, functions as a gateway and hub of the Greater Bay Area. This could be taken as an advantageous opportunity for the city's branding," he said.
In the era of the Greater Bay Area, Zhuhai keeps innovating the ways of international communication.
