Hong Kong could turbocharge its status as a global financial powerhouse by strengthening ties with the Chinese mainland, says Tan Yueheng, a member of China's top political advisory body and chairman of BOCOM International. 💡
In a chat with CGTN, Tan emphasized that the city's 'super-connector' role between global markets and mainland businesses is key. He called for more large enterprises from the Chinese mainland to set up headquarters in Hong Kong, leveraging its mature legal framework and international networks. 🌐
Belt and Road: New Opportunities
Tan also spotlighted untapped potential for collaboration under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), suggesting Hong Kong could help mainland firms access financing and partnerships. 🚀 "Engaging with BRI participants opens doors for innovative capital flows," he said, positioning the city as a bridge for global investors eyeing Asia's growth.
