According to Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po, the city holds a distinctive position to enhance Beijing’s “China Opportunity 2.0” framework, acting as both a bridge and catalyst for mainland Chinese companies seeking international growth.
In his latest blog post, Chan highlighted the Northern Metropolis development project as a key platform that will enable Chinese enterprises to commercialize research innovations and advance technology collaboration between regions.
“Amid complex global geopolitical dynamics, China is pioneering ‘China Opportunity 2.0’ by leveraging its vast market and technological capabilities,” Chan stated.
“Hong Kong’s international connectivity, financial infrastructure, talent pool, and institutional framework under ‘one country, two systems’ will translate these opportunities into investment-ready prospects, helping global capital recognize the asset value of Chinese technological advancement.”
These comments came following Chan’s participation in the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian, where Chinese Premier Li Qiang first introduced the “China Opportunity 2.0” concept. The initiative represents a strategic pivot from the Western-coined “China Shock 2.0,” shifting focus toward sustainable development and self-reliance.
During his mainland visit, Chan also traveled to Xi’an to engage with stakeholders in China’s commercial aerospace sector.
