Abstract

Since the launch of the construction of economic regions such as the Guang-dong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), propositions including region-al economy and regional economic rule of law have attracted considerable at-tention. As a cross-jurisdictional economic region, the GBA features differences among various entities in terms of legal systems, economic policy formulation, and supervision of economic activities. How to coordinate the economic devel-opment of different regions through the rule of law has become the primary is-sue for the GBA’s development. The regional economic rule of law in the GBA should establish an inclusive legal system, balance the interests and legislative powers of various entities, thereby ensuring the gradual implementation of co-ordinated regional economic development. It is also necessary to promote the regional economic legal system guided by the philosophy of "Community with a Shared Future for Mankind," so as to provide a reference for the construction and connection with global economic law in the future.
