This paragraph pretty much sums up the potential of what China's Greater Bay Area has to offer:

> Shenzhen has become a center for research and development that ranks alongside Silicon Valley. The area around the industrial city of Dongguan produces one-third of the world's jeans, while Foshan accounts for more than half of all refrigerators and air-conditioning units manufactured worldwide. Hong Kong is Asia's leading financial center and Macao is the largest gambling city in the world, with six times the gaming volume of Las Vegas.

Ironically, using the Bay Area as an inspiration feels like Apples and Oranges given it's more tech-centric whereas this "Magalopolis" almost feels like a country within a country. Very curious to see how this grand plan progresses over the coming years.
