According to Xinhua News Agency, the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Paul Chan, stated in a blog post on the 28th that Hong Kong is not only an important channel for attracting investment but also a “key link” for mainland enterprises and products to go international, as well as a “converter” for standards and regulations between technological innovation and the international market.
Paul Chan indicated that under the national “dual circulation” development strategy, Hong Kong’s internationalization advantages can effectively assist mainland enterprises in connecting with global markets. The mainland’s outstanding scientific and technological innovation capabilities can efficiently interact with Hong Kong’s internationalization advantages, helping enterprises convert research and development results into overseas orders.
At the same time, Hong Kong can introduce international long-term capital for hard technology enterprises that require “patient capital,” achieving “small, early, and long-term investments” to support the growth of promising technology companies and emerging and future industries. In addition, the developing Northern Metropolis of Hong Kong aligns well with the strong entrepreneurial atmosphere in places like Xi’an, creating a positive cycle of mutual empowerment among education, technology, talent, and industry.
