广珠澳铁路建设与澳门发展方向研究

ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF GUANGZHOU-ZHUHAI-Macao RILWAY AND THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTION OF Macao

本文分析了广珠澳铁路建设的自然和经济可行性，认为近代澳门的国际贸易中心地位为香港所取代的主要原因是：缺乏深水港口；没有与中国大陆联网的铁路。同时论证了处于世纪之交的澳门发展方向：应充分利用自由港、单独关税区和“一国两制”等优势，加强与华南地区的经济合作，实现优势互补；借鉴香港，发展转口贸易业、加工制造业和高新科技产业，将澳门建设成为南中国通往世界的“另一个香港”。实现这个目标，要不惜代价建设深水港口；当前应与内地合作建设广珠澳铁路。

he construction of Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macao Railway will bring about great economicbenefit. After the Opium War, the role of international trade centre of Macao has beenreplace by Hong Kong. The main reasons are that Macao lacks deep-water harbour and thatthere is no railway to connect it with China's Mainland. The development direction of Macaoshould be: to vigorously promote construction of infrastructure facilities such as deep-waterharbour and railway, to enhance economic cooperation with South China and Hong Kong,to attract investment from the mainland, to develop foreign trade and finance by takingadvantage of free port, separate customs zone and policy of 'one country, two systems'which are stipulated by the Basic Law, to develop entrepot trade, processing,manufacturing and high-tech industries , and to be mutually complementary with SouthChina ,thus to build Macao into 'another Hong Kong' loCated at the weat coast of the PearlEstuary for South China to connect with the world especially the countries of the EuropeanEconomic Community and Latin America. At present, the railway should be constructedfirst.
