但是，我們又投放了多少資源在"及早識別"的工作上？
But how much have we spent on early identification?
"及早治療"可能仍是現時工作的重點，因此，到局長剛才的發言，內容十居其九都是以治療為主的工作。
I would think that early treatment may still be the focus of work at the moment so the Secretarys reply just now was mostly about treatment - related efforts
儘管局長與我們一班同事所說的內容方向一致，然而，我仍然看不見政府在基層醫療方面，有何具體策略及目標。
The Secretarys remarks and Members ideas share the same direction but as far as I can observe the Government has not drawn up any specific strategies or plans on primary health care
所以，我很期望局長除了剛才提到，會由基層醫療督導委員會進行檢視工作外能重新審視1993年的報告書所提出的建議，成立一個基層醫療健康局，統籌這方面的工作，從而讓大家看到，政府在處理基層健康的工作方面，不單是口惠，說出許許多多的服務，還真的訂下了具體目標，針對如何能將相關的及早識別、及早治療、及早預防的工作，推展到所有市民大眾。
Thus I very much hope that while the Steering Committee on Primary Healthcare Development is to conduct a review as mentioned just now the Secretary herself will also re - examine the recommendations put forward in the report of 1993 and set up a primary health care council as a coordinator of the related efforts . In this way the Government can show everyone that regarding primary health care it is not all talk and will not just reel out a litany of services . People will instead see that it has actually formulated specific objectives on promoting early identification early treatment and early prevention among all members of the public
我認為，這一點是在今次辯論中，我們所有議員的共識，希望局方及政府能夠掌握......
I think that such is the consensus of all Members in this debate so I hope the Food and Health Bureau and the Government can grasp Thank you President
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：胡志偉議員動議的議案，經葉劉淑儀議員、李國麟議員、陳恒鑌議員、田北辰議員及麥美娟議員修正後，予以通過。
I now put the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr WU Chi - wai as amended by Mrs Regina IP Prof Joseph LEE Mr CHAN Han - pan Mr Michael TIEN and Ms Alice MAK be passed
不同議員也提出很多意見，令人眼花撩亂。
Various other Members have also spoken giving us quite a bewildering array of different opinions
其實，議案涉及的根本是意識形態之爭，是對香港長遠發展策略不同的看法。
Actually the arguments over the motion are simply ideological in nature involving divergent views on Hong Kongs long - term development strategy
林健鋒議員的原議案及多位建制派議員的修正案，其實不外乎要求政府向中央政府爭取機會，讓香港人可到內地發展。
Mr Jeffrey LAMs original motion and the amendments of various pro - establishment Members all boil down to a simple request to the Central Government for more development opportunities in the Mainland for Hong Kong people
這類議案背後的想法其實與特區政府的思路很接近，就是香港人要到內地找機會，在短時間內盡量找"着數"。
The rationale behind such motions is very similar to the thinking of the SAR Government Hong Kong people must look for opportunities in the Mainland with the aim of reaping as many quick gains as possible
內地的大灣區城市，其實已因應自身的發展需要制訂政策，以期吸引人才和資金落戶。
Mainland cities in the Bay Area have already drawn up various policies to attract manpower and capitals based on their respective development needs
如果內地的政策對香港人有"着數"的話，香港的人才和資金就自然會外流。
Also if the Mainland introduces any policies that favour Hong Kong people talents and capitals will naturally leave Hong Kong
在上世紀80年代，內地只說出一句"三來一補"政策，便吸引了香港的整體工業北移。
You see back in the 1980s simply with one single policy called three forms of processingassembly operations and compensatory trade the Mainland already managed to trigger the wholesale shift of Hong Kong industries to the north
所以，我和莫乃光議員提出修正案時，我們的中心思想和出發點是，我們要以香港出發，要明白這種大灣區經濟發展的脈絡對香港的影響。
For that reason the central idea of the amendments moved respectively by Mr Charles Peter MOK and me are based on the standpoint of Hong Kong with the aim of making clear the impact which Hong Kong will sustain as a result of such bay area economic development
我們並不反對香港向外闖，到大灣區尋找機會，正如內地在1980年代提供"三來一補"的政策，如果有"着數"和好處的話，香港人自然會向外衝。
We are not saying that Hong Kong people should not venture out and seek opportunities in the Bay Area . Actually as can be shown by what happened after the policy of three forms of processingassembly operations and compensatory trade was launched in the 1980s Hong Kong people will naturally venture out if they can see the prospects of gains and benefits
但是，更重要的是，特區政府必須明白這種發展脈絡對香港本身的影響。
But then the more important thing is that the SAR Government must be very clear about the impact which Hong Kong will sustain because of such a development trend
特區政府必須提出政策，充實香港的實體經濟，令香港能夠挽留人才、吸引人才聚留、令資金願意落戶。
The SAR Government must roll out policies that can strengthen Hong Kongs real economy and enable us to retain and attract both talents and capitals
林健鋒議員的議案，顯示了他抱着過客、搭順風車的心態。
Mr Jeffrey LAMs motion shows his sojourner and hitch - hiking mentality
他的議案提到，如果香港要發展，最重要的不是強化香港的經濟實力，而是要把握國策和其他城市的發展機遇。
His motion suggests that if Hong Kong is to achieve any progress it must most importantly grasp the opportunities presented by state policies and the development of other cities
由於中央政府要在整個大灣區發展高科技產業，所以我們便要以我們的政策推動香港人到內地，配合其政策發展。
He argues that since the Central Government is going to develop high - tech industries in the Bay Area we must dovetail with this policy and draw up measures to encourage Hong Kong people to move to the Mainland
我看到這種心態其實會導致三大危險。
I can see that this mentality will entail three major risks
首先，如果香港能配合內地發展，即使香港人才或企業能在大灣區找到機會，但這是否代表必定有利於香港呢？
First even if Hong Kong can successfully tie in with the Mainlands development and both its talents or enterprises can find opportunities in the Bay Area will Hong Kong as a whole necessarily benefit?
第二，如果香港的未來只依賴國策和內地的發展，一旦內地經濟逆轉或國策有變，香港的發展會出現甚麼問題呢？
Second if the future of Hong Kong is made to depend entirely on state policies and Mainland development what will become of it in case the Mainland economy declines or there is a change in state policies?
再者，實行"一國兩制"的香港，是否應要更小心審視在這個變化中可找到的空間和夾縫呢？
Furthermore as a city under one country two systems Hong Kong should be extra careful when seeking to explore how and where it can gain from this change shouldnt it?
第三，如果我們不重視如何充實香港的實體經濟，加強香港的發展潛力，即使大灣區真的成功，最後也只會被內地的其他城市超前。
Third if we ignore the importance of strengthening Hong Kongs real economy and enhancing its development potentials we will only be surpassed by Mainland cities all the same even if the Bay Area development plan really works out
所以這種心態的客觀效果，令香港變成人才中轉站，以致我們訓練出來的人才，偏偏就不留在香港。
Therefore this mentality will have the practical effect of reducing Hong Kong to a mere transit point of talents . As a result the talents we have nurtured will not stay in Hong Kong
香港只會成為一個輸出人才的地 方，最終結果是淘空香港的人才庫和經濟。
Hong Kong will only become an exporter of talents and this will hollow out Hong Kongs pool of talents and economy
其實台灣在1980年代有同樣的經歷，就是其電子業被淘空。
In fact Taiwan also had a similar experience in the 1980s when its electronic industry was entirely hollowed out
至今已30年，台灣仍然無法找出另一種有效的經濟產業，令其成功轉型。
It has been 30 years but Taiwan has yet to identify an effective alternative that can successfully transform its economy
如果大家看香港電影業在2003年後的發展，就會看到一種狀態。
If we look at the development of the Hong Kong film industry since 2003 we will observe one phenomenon
自2003年起，中港兩地落實CEPA，放寬香港電影進入內地市場的限制。
In 2003 Hong Kong and China signed the MainlandHong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement CEPA under which the restrictions on the entry of Hong Kong films into the Mainland market were relaxed
當時正值香港電影行業的低潮，有關政策確實令大量電影人北上找機會、賺真銀。
It so happened that the Hong Kong film industry was at a low ebb back then so CEPA could indeed enable many Hong Kong film workers to seek opportunities and make big money in the Mainland
當時香港電影人為內地引入技術和幕前幕後人才，令內地的電視、電影行業製作水平有所提升，更令香港在短期內有所得益特別是香港的電影人，最少維持了他們的生計。
The entry of Hong Kong film workers at that time brought various film - making techniques production experts and screen acting talents to the Mainland thus raising its standard of television and film production . And at the same time Hong Kong―especially its film workers―was able to get certain immediate benefits . At least this could help them make a living
然而，香港電影業北上的長遠結果，就是香港電影業大幅萎縮，影視文化產業的發展停滯不前，以至近年內地的影視文化產業開始成熟，內地電視劇甚至開始反攻香港。
Nevertheless the northward movement of the Hong Kong film industry has come to produce long - term impacts on Hong Kong the drastic shrinkage of its film industry and the stagnancy of its film television and cultural industries . In recent years as the Mainlands film television and cultural industries gradually develop Mainland television dramas have even started to make inroads into Hong Kong like never before
不錯，現時香港部分演員仍可在內地索取天價片酬，但香港的電影，以至文化行業的產業鏈已受到嚴重的打擊。
It is true that some Hong Kong artistes can still ask for astronomical pays in the Mainland but the industrial chain of the Hong Kong film and cultural industry has already suffered a heavy blow
香港人北上其實是為他人作嫁衣裳，這樣對香港的經濟、文化產業鏈的進一步發展所起的作用，能否與當年香港被稱為"東方荷李活"時的貢獻所比擬呢？
The Hong Kong film workers who move to the north have just been sewing a wedding - gown for another bride to wear . Their contribution to Hong Kongs economy and the cultural industry chain simply cannot compare with the contribution made by those at the time when Hong Kong was called the Hollywood of the East
特區政府經常掛在口邊的是創意產業，特別是電影業。
The SAR Government keeps talking about creative industries in particular the film industry
香港曾經是東方的荷李活，不過隨着人才北上尋找機會，電影業佔香港的本地生產總值的份額其實已經今非昔比。
Hong Kong was once called the Hollywood of the East . But as people move northward in search of opportunities the film industrys share in our GDP is no longer as large as before
就今次的議案，我清楚感覺到只是意識形態之爭。
I can actually sense that the arguments over this very motion are ideological in nature
在大灣區的規劃中，香港需要面對不同城市的競爭，亦要應付不同城市搶奪人才的挑戰，究竟香港社會和政府如何面對這危機呢？
In the overall planning scheme of the Bay Area Hong Kong must face competition from many different cities in addition to meeting the challenge arising from their scramble for talents . How should our community and the Government tackle this crisis?
當然有人會說得很輕鬆，說我們不要把問題看成是城市之間的競爭。
Of course there are bound to be people who think it is no big deal and who advise that we must not treat the problem as any intercity competition
但是，城市之間的競爭卻正好警醒香港，因為如果香港不被警醒，那麼香港便很容易被眼前短期的利益所蒙蔽，從而放棄了香港根本的長遠經濟發展。
But we must realize that an awareness of inter - city competition is precisely the one thing which can alert Hong Kong . If Hong Kong is not alerted it will be easily blinded by immediate benefits thus ignoring the fundamental importance of its long - term economic development
最近瑞士洛桑國際管理發展學院發表的《2018年世界競爭力年報》顯示，香港競爭力在全球排名第二位，成績頗好，不過香港在基礎建設下的科學基建和科技基建 分別只排名第二十四位及第十九位。
Recently the International Institute for Management Development in Lausanne Switzerland has published its World Competitiveness Yearbook 2018 . Hong Kong is ranked second globally . This result is not bad at all
其實任何一個人也知道，一個地方的競爭力是在於其基礎建設，在於這個方面能否提供足夠的空間，讓人才可以有所發揮。
Actually everybody knows that the competitiveness of a place depends on its infrastructure and whether it can provide the space for people to bring their creativity into full play
不過這份報告其實只是再次告訴特區政府這個如此簡單的道理。
This Yearbook only tells the SAR Government this simple principle
香港其實有很多不同的發揮空間。
Actually Hong Kong is capable of developing itself in many different areas
另一個領域就是包括藥物研發、生物科技，香港均有潛質發展。
One more possible area is pharmaceutical research and biotechnology . Hong Kong has development potentials in this area
但是，特區政府是否明白，進一步發展藥物研發、生物科技的優勢，除了制訂政策吸引人才匯聚在香港外，還要設法令整個高增長的產業鏈願意在香港落戶，利用香港的優勢。
But I wonder if the Government can understand one thing concerning the further development of our advantages in pharmaceutical research and biotechnology . The thing is that apart from formulating policies to draw talents to Hong Kong we must somehow make those engaged in the entire high - growth industrial chain willing to stay in Hong Kong to exploit our advantages including our strength in product certification and quality accreditation
這情況亦等同1980年代，當香港工業北移時，香港找到新的出路，便是"前鋪後廠"的策略，令香港轉型成為服務業為主的國際城市。
Here we must do something similar to what we did back in the 1980s when Hong Kongs industries all shifted northward . Back then Hong Kong identified a new avenue the strategy of front - end shop and back - end factory . In this way Hong Kong transformed itself to a services - oriented world city
在科技轉型的經濟發展的方向上，政府也應在這方面制訂政策，令香港真的能夠朝着科技轉型的發展方向前進，而不是注重眼前的短期利益，將香港有限的人才輸送內地，結果對香港的經濟實體有甚麼真正裨益？
On this the Government should also draw up a policy to make it a direction of economic development so that Hong Kong can really progress towards technological transformation rather than funnelling our limited supply of talents to the Mainland just for the sake of immediate and short - term gains . What good can this bring to the real economy of Hong Kong?
林健鋒議員的發言提到，香港和廣東省各城市並非競爭，但是各個城市正好在搶奪香港的人才。
Mr Jeffrey LAM says that there is no competition as such between Hong Kong and the other cities in the Guangdong Province . But he must note the fact that these cities are robbing Hong Kong of its talents
最後我想談談特首曾提及大灣區三地的政府需要互相尊重，不能以香港的看法和利益為先的問題。
Lastly let me comment on one opinion of the Chief Executive . She says that the governments of the three sides in the Bay Area must respect one another so we should not insist on putting Hong Kongs views and benefits first
不過，原來香港24位中科院及工程院士早前致函中央，均是要求正視科研資金可否"過河"，以協助提升香港的科研工作。
But then the recent letter sent by the 24 members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering is precisely about the granting of a favour as it says that the Central Authorities may need to seriously consider the cross - boundary use of state funding for technological research in Hong Kong so as to upgrade Hong Kongs technological research
其實很清楚顯示，每個城市均以城市本身的利益來作為自身考慮、......
This shows clearly that each city needs to consider its own interest and the prime concern of the head of a city
主席，我綜合就林健鋒議員就有關"加強區域合作，共建粵港澳大灣區"的原議案，以及其他議員提出的修訂議案發言。
President I will speak on Mr Jeffrey LAMs motion Strengthening regional collaboration and jointly building the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area and the amendments proposed by other Members
首先，我想說說最近瑞士洛桑國際管理發展學院發表的《2018年全球經濟報告》。
First let me refer to the World Competitiveness Yearbook WCY 2018 recently published by the International Institute for Management Development IMD in Lausanne Switzerland
香港的全球競爭力失守第一位，下跌至第二位。
Hong Kongs global competitiveness ranking has slipped from the first to the second
有學者分析香港的競爭力不是太差，只是美國表現強勁。
Some academics reason that Hong Kongs competitiveness is itself not so bad only that the United States has done extremely well
無論如何，居安思危是很重要的。
In any event having a sense of crisis is very important
"財爺"表示香港輸在科技和科研基建，我相信沒有人會反對，但我也留意到，當中影響經濟表現的評分，物價指標在63個經濟體系中，香港排名尾三。
The Financial Secretary thinks that what makes Hong Kong lose out to others is its technology and research infrastructure . I do not think anyone will disagree . But I notice that for prices a factor affecting the rating of economic performance Hong Kongs rating is third from last among the 63 economies
希望大家不要忽視，樓價高企、租金昂貴也是拖累香港競爭力的其中一個主要原因。
So I hope we will not overlook the fact that high property prices and rents are one of the major problems affecting Hong Kongs competitiveness . I will now return to the subject
言歸正傳，國家發展和改革委員會在大灣區的規劃很快便會出台。
The National Development and Reform Commission NDRC will soon roll out a Bay Area development plan
香港作為大灣區的一員，如何和澳門、廣東省9個城市有更好的 分工合作。由競爭促成合作，配合香港固有的優勢，打造經濟的新引擎，從而帶動香港的經濟質量再次起飛，實在考驗各方的智慧。
It will be a test of everybodys wisdom as to how Hong Kong as a member of the Bay Area can work with Macao and the nine cities in Guangdong province to map out a satisfactory division of labour that can turn competition into cooperation bring forth a new economic locomotive based on Hong Kongs existing advantages and in turn trigger another take - off of Hong Kongs economy
我們有必要主動結合內地鄰近城市的優勢，把整個大灣區的"餅"造大造強。
Faced with regional competition and the globalization of capitals enterprises and talents we must proactively synergize the advantages of neighbouring Mainland cities so as to make the pie the Bay Area a much bigger one
大灣區人口達6,700萬，對於這個龐大市場，香港除了像以往擔起金融、融資和協助內地企業"走出去"的角色，為內地提供專業服務外，其實還有很多商機和合作的可能性有待開拓。
The population in the Bay Area stands at 67 million . In this huge market Hong Kong can actually open up many more business opportunities and possibilities of cooperation in addition to providing professional financial and financing services to the Mainland and assisting its enterprises in going global
近年來，無論是親建制的媒體、電視台、建制派政黨還是政府皆不斷宣傳大灣區，彷彿這3個字便是靈丹妙藥或解藥，可以解決很多香港的問題。
Over recent years media organizations television broadcasters and political parties from the pro - establishment camp and also the Government have kept promoting the Bay Area . It looks like these three words is a panacea or antidote that can solve various problems in Hong Kong
不少建制派議員認為，只要發展大灣區，將我們這些死守香港核心價值的舊香港人遷往大灣區，然後以"新香港人"即在法庭拍照也不知道是否犯錯、不肯認錯的那些人佔據香港，香港便可以高速發展，整個大灣區便可以超英趕美，超越紐約大都會、舊金山灣區和關東大灣區，成為世上人口最多、經濟力最強的大都會。
Many pro - establishment Members think that as long as old Hong Kong people like us who will defend Hong Kongs core values to the death can be relocated to the Bay Area after its development and new Hong Kong people―meaning those who do not know photographing in court violates the law and refuse to admit their fault―can occupy Hong Kong Hong Kong can develop rapidly and the entire Bay Area can surpass Britain and catch up with the United States overtake the New York metropolitan area the San Francisco Bay Area and the Tokyo Megalopolis Region and turn into a metropolis with the largest population and greatest economic strength in the world
無論該等節目的意識形態是一面倒唱好還是怎樣，只要我們帶批判性眼光，我認為一看無妨。
Regardless of whether such programmes always sing the praises of it ideologically I think they might as well watch them as long as they can remain critical
但是，現時建制派主張的大灣區其實與世界各地知名的灣區有很大分別。無論是東京灣區、舊金山灣區或紐約大都會區，整個區域皆是實行同一套制度的。
But the Bay Area as currently advocated by the pro - establishment camp actually differs greatly from those well - known bay areas worldwide in the sense that whether speaking of the Tokyo Megalopolis Region the San Francisco Bay Area or the New York metropolitan area the same system is implemented in the whole region . Members can think about this
大家試想想，東京和橫濱皆實施同一套法制，也是民主社會，資訊自由流動，所以無論居於東京或橫濱的市民，均遵守同一套法規，同樣可以自由上網，享受言論自由和宗教自由，不會因為離開東京而無法瀏覽Facebook或Google，亦不會因為離開東京而沒有律師替自己辯護，也不會因為離開本區或本市便不能攜帶《聖經》。
Tokyo and Yokohama both implement the same legal system and they are also democratic societies with free information flow . Therefore Tokyo and Yokohama residents all abide by the same rules and regulations and they may enjoy free access to the Internet and also freedom of speech and of religion . They will not be barred from surfing on Facebook or Google because they are outside Tokyo; they will not be barred from getting a lawyer to defend them because they are outside Tokyo; and they will not be barred from carrying the Bible because they are outside their local communities or cities
同樣的情況也在其他灣區出現。
This is the same case with other bay areas
正因如此，人們才願意在都會區的不同城市居住和流動，各城市以至市鎮也因應其特色而發揮優勢，互補不足，結果成為在世界舞台舉足輕重的經濟區域。
Precisely for this reason people are willing to live in various cities in such metropolitan regions and move between those cities . Various cities and towns can play to their strengths having regard to their features and achieve complementarity . So they become important economic regions in the global arena
不過，我們現在所談論的大灣區能否一如東京灣或加州般，在世界舞台上扮演舉足輕重的經濟區域呢？
In contrast can the Bay Area now under discussion become an important economic region in the global arena like the Tokyo Megalopolis Region or California?
建制派所聲稱的大灣區包括珠江三角洲和廣州，北至肇慶，在人口上的確遠高於東京灣、紐約和舊金山等知名大都會區域數倍。
As the pro - establishment camp says the Bay Area covers the Pearl River Delta Region Guangzhou and northwards to Zhaoqing . Its population size is honestly several times the respective population sizes of well - known metropolitan regions such as the Tokyo Bay New York and San Francisco
但是，在資訊自由度、法治程度、言論自由程度方面，除香港外，其他地區皆遠低於發展地區的水平。
But the degree of information freedom rule of law and also speech freedom in regions other than Hong Kong is far lower than that of developed regions
在這種情況下，要香港人長期處於一個連人身安全亦不知道是否受到保障、沒有言論自由、沒有宗教自由、法治同樣是一個大問號的地方，並且隨時可能被公安搶奪東西，如果要求歸還便會受到襲擊，是有困難的。
Under this circumstance it will be difficult to convince Hong Kong people to stay permanently in a place with no certain guarantee of their personal safety speech freedom and religious freedom but a questionable legal system where they can be robbed of their belongings anytime by public security officers and even assaulted when demanding their return
如果想世界各地的頂尖人才前往大灣區，便更困難，因為他們連進食的食品是否安全也感到不放心。
It will be even more difficult to convince outstanding talents in various places of the world to go to the Bay Area because they are even worried about the safety of the food they consume
當然，近年唱好大灣區的節目會指出，他們會把好的一套搬入大灣區，無論是食物質素或食物安全，他們皆希望把香港或外國的一套逐漸引入大灣區，並加以提升。
Certainly television programmes which sing the praises of the Bay Area in recent years will point out that they will bring good practices into the Bay Area . Whether speaking of food quality or food safety they wish to gradually bring Hong Kong or overseas standards into the Bay Area and further enhance them
香港有經驗的公司自然在大灣區內會得到發展優勢，這是唱好的方面。
Experienced Hong Kong companies will naturally have advantages in the development of the Bay Area . All these are their praises of the Bay Area
不過，大家可能會考慮，香港現在有法治及自由，正正可與大灣區互補，但自1997年至今，中國政府卻不斷肆意削弱香港在這些方面的優勢。
Nevertheless Members may think that Hong Kongs existing rule - of - law system and various freedoms can precisely enable it to achieve complementarity with the Bay Area . But since 1997 the Chinese Government has not ceased its blatant attempts to undermine Hong Kongs advantages in these aspects
一方面，中國政府透過釋法，指揮政府例如濫告政敵，令法治蕩然無存，又透過控制香港社會各個領域，控制香港的言論自由和新聞自由，令新聞自由的評分每況愈下。
On the one hand through its interpretation of the Basic Law the Chinese Government commands the SAR Government to for example institute arbitrary prosecution against its political enemies thus ruining our rule of law . Besides through its control over various domains in Hong Kong it has tightened its grip on Hong Kongs speech and press freedoms and this has resulted in the continuous decline of our press freedom rating
他們屆時真的可以反過來說，香港可以跟大灣區融合，因為香港的法治和政治制度跟大灣區內其他中國城市相差越來越少。
By that time they can really put things the other way round and say that Hong Kong can integrate with the Bay Area because of the decreasing difference in the legal and political systems of Hong Kong and other Chinese cities in the Bay Area
結果是，香港可能會成為中國一個普通城市。
The result will be that Hong Kong may degenerate into an ordinary city in China
將香港變成中國的普通城市，是否中共先烈原有的構思呢？
Was it the original intention of the Chinese communist predecessors to turn Hong Kong into an ordinary city in China?
不論鄧小平還是習仲勳皆想香港帶動全中國作出體制上的 改革，而即使不能實施全國性的體制改革，也希望香港能夠帶動廣東省作出體制上的改革。
Both DENG Xiaoping and XI Zhongxun wished that Hong Kong could drive the entire China to undertake systemic reform . They hoped that even if nationwide systemic reform was impossible Hong Kong could drive the Guangdong Province to undertake systemic reform
習仲勳在1979年曾經表示："如果廣東是一個'獨立的國家'，可能幾年就搞上去了，但是在現在的體制下，就不容易上去。
XI Zhongxun said in 1979 If Guangdong were an independent state it might thrive in just a few years . But under the present system it may not be easy to thrive
"；"廣東要是一個'獨立國'的話，現在會超過香港。
; If Guangdong were an independent state it would have overtaken Hong Kong by now
"我無意討論"廣東獨"的問題，我只是想帶出，連習近平的父親習仲勳也清楚知道，如果廣東省必須跟隨全國落後的體制和制度，會大大扼殺廣東省的活力和潛能。
I do not intend to discuss Guangdong independence . I merely wish to bring up one point the point that even XI Zhongxun XI Jingpings father was well aware that if the Guangdong Province must follow the countrys backward institutions and systems the vibrancy and potential of the Guangdong Province would be greatly stifled
事實上，廣東省的廣東人一向容易吸收新事物、適應能力強，也是中國首批接觸西方制度的族群，只是現時中國政府處處向廣東省"綁手綁腳"，以意識形態領導一切，令廣東省在法治和自由度上也不能夠與已發展地區同步。
Actually Guangdong people in the Guangdong Province are all along receptive to new ideas and highly adaptable . They were also the first group of people exposed to the western system . The problem is merely that at present the Chinese Government imposes various restrictions and constraints on the Guangdong Province in various aspects and governs everything with its ideology
主席，我感謝林健鋒議員今天提出這項有關大灣區的議案。
President I thank Mr Jeffrey LAM for moving this motion on the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area today
對於香港來說，最重要的是我們如何定位。
To Hong Kong the most important thing is how we should position ourselves
"定位"即是從自己的本位出發，定下最應該做的方向，否則便是被規劃。
To position ourselves we need to set down the best direction for ourselves from our own standpoint . If not we will only end up being planned
