The 12th Shenzhen Expats Chinese Talent Competition, an annual event for Chinese culture enthusiasts, was held yesterday at the Westin Shenzhen Nanshan hotel, with 12 expats from eight countries sharing their life in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) in fluent Chinese.
The competition consisted of three rounds — a topical speech in Chinese about life in the GBA, a Chinese word-guessing game and a talent show.
From the plan for the development of the GBA and the masterplan to build Shenzhen into a demonstration area of socialism with Chinese characteristics to the new blueprints formulated for Guangdong-Macao and Shenzhen-Hong Kong cooperation zones, the GBA is becoming a focus not only for the Chinese but also for the expats residing in the area.
