Policy Orientation Analysis on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Taiwan Compatriots, and Overseas Compatriots Jointly Building the Shared Spiritual Home of the Chinese Nation

The shared spiritual home of the Chinese nation serves as the common spiritual foundation and emotional anchor for all Chinese people. Within the overarching strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), Taiwan compatriots, and overseas Chinese, as vital components of the Chinese national community, play a crucial role in building this shared spiritual home, making their policy practices highly significant in the current era. Based on the legislative process of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Promoting National Unity and Progress, this paper systematically analyzes the policy orientations, as well as their similarities and differences, of GBA policies, Hong Kong and Macao policies, policies toward Taiwan China, and overseas Chinese policies in building the shared spiritual home of the Chinese nation. The study reveals that while these four categories of policies share patriotism as a common value foundation and the forging of a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation as a unified strategic goal, they exhibit distinct differences in institutional foundations, pathways for identity construction, the flexibility and rigidity of policy instruments, and key areas of focus. Together, they form a cohesive and complementary policy system.
