A Zhuhai Special Economic Zone Legislative Center was added as an arm of the city government Sept 7 to help bring into concert the laws of Macao, Hong Kong, and Guangdong.

Just days after approval of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone plan for Hengqin Island, Zhuhai Party Chief Guo Yonghang announced that the Legislative Research Center is a pioneering move to deepen overall Reform & Opening Up and in building the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It was also called an innovation in Zhuhai-Macao cooperation and special economic zone legislation.

The center is to compile and review regional laws and regulations. It will provide strong legislative support for Zhuhai to become a modernized and internationalized SEZ and bolster Hengqin as the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone.

Guo expressed hopes that the center would integrate legislative think tank resources between the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao and contribute more of the Zhuhai experience to the legal new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
