Financial Chief says HK has key role in "China Opportunity 2.0"

Financial Secretary Paul Chan has summed up his visit to Dalian and Xian, saying the nation is leveraging its mega-market scale and technological innovation dividends to create "China Opportunity 2.0".

He furthers that Hong Kong's internationalisation, capital, talent and institutional strengths have a key role to play.

Chan says he had in-depth exchanges with over 100 local business leaders and university representatives at the first Western China Commercial Space Conference in Xian.

He believes Hong Kong's international character can help mainland tech companies accelerate cross-border market expansion and channel long-term international capital into promising tech ventures.

He says Hong Kong can translate "China Opportunity 2.0" into development opportunities that more overseas investors can understand and participate in, turning technological strengths into asset value recognised by global capital.
