China's annual political season continues in Beijing. Government ministers took questions from the media at the "ministers' corridor" of the Great Hall of the People this afternoon. Here are some highlights.

HE LIFENG, DIRECTOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND REFORM COMMISSION "The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay has made significant progress. The outline of the construction of the Greater Bay is basically complete. Important infrastructure benefiting this region is underway, including the finished Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Cross Sea Bridge, which is ready for use."

GUO SHUQING, CHAIRMAN CHINA BANKING REGULATORY COMMISSION "We must serve the real economy better. We have to protect the real economy while taking measures to crack down on illegal practices. This is a very important challenge. It is necessary to address problems, and at the same time not hurt the body."

ZHANG XIAOMING, DIRECTOR HONG KONG AND MACAO AFFAIRS OFFICE OF THE STATE COUNCIL "We need to adjust and improve the relevant legal policies and institutional mechanism, to promote the circulation of personnel, cargo, funds, and information in the Greater Bay Area. The area will therefore have its resources effectively and rapidly integrated, to produce a synergistic effect."
