World's Longest Sea Bridge Brings China Closer to Hong KongThe $15 billion, 55-kilometer (34-mile) bridge, which Xinhua says is the world's longest sea link, opens for business at 9 a.m. Wednesday and is tipped to carry some 29,000 cars and trucks daily between Zhuhai on the mainland and Hong Kong, a former British colony. It also envisions a better marriage between China's industrial might and its one-party state and the liberal, capitalist bastions of Hong Kong and Macau, which have their own passports, currencies, trade policies, courts and civil rights. The Greater Bay Area could serve as a new growth engine for the capital markets of Hong Kong, the casinos of Macau, formerly a Portuguese colony, and nearby Shenzhen, the economic powerhouse one of Xi's predecessors, Deng Xiaoping, built on their doorstep almost four decades ago.
