Abstract  The construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a new regional development policy arrangement conducted by central government of China, which aims at regulating the relationship among national, regional and urban scales to guide capital flow in order to achieve the goals of specific spatial development. Therefore, it could be seen as a new round of the rescaling of Chinese state. Based on the Western theory of rescaling, this paper tries to explore that how the relational space, including the economic relations among the cities of Greater Pearl River Delta and territory politics between Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong, impacts on the process of state rescaling and how the state rescaling impacts on city rescaling. We think that the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area focuses on reshaping the place for capital flow, providing a social platform for capital fix, continuing to participate in the international division of labor, deepening economic cooperation and improving its global competitiveness. The Chinese central state scales down to Guangdong Province Government, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and the Macao Special Administrative Region Government, as a result, it makes the strategies adopted by these city governments more diversified. They include scale up and scale down in a city, cooperation alliance and scale politics between different cities. Through above analysis, it shows the complexity and network characteristics of rescaling in non-Western context and helps to rethink the rescaling theory.
