- How can Hong Kong not been important of it hosts 70% of Mainland companies' IPOs overseas and 60% of their USD bond issuance?. Hong Kong holds the key of the Mainland's access to overseas financing and investment @Bruegel_orgThose claiming Hong Kong is no longer important to China don't show the full story. We need to look beyond GDP and consider China's soft spot: access to foreign capital with a relatively closed capital account - writes @Aligarciaherrer >> bru.gl/2z90Ouz
- The reality is that the #Chinese government will not allow the #Hongkong government to shut its in borders as other foreign countries would immediately follow suit with huge economic and reputational losses for the Mainland @SolomonYueSo mainlanders' feelings are more important than🇭🇰ers' lives?
- I have a question for @TheEconomist: Why do you think #Spain's history is more tragic than that most European countries, including your #UK?. Spain had a civil war but you had your own bit and many more conflicts with #France than we did. Spain did not enter WWI or WWII.Why has Spain’s history been so tragic? Most historians highlight a weak state, difficult geography and missed political opportunities econ.trib.al/lWHnRIc
- Replying to @DerekJGrossmanYou should. According to our analysis, #Pakistan is in the weakest position in terms of financing needs, after #SriLanka research.natixis.com/Site/en/public…
- #China not a market economy status not only according to #EU but even the #WTO. China has lost the dispute. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
- #China’s 2024 GDP growth exactly on target (5.0028%!!). What a coincidence. Does this mean that China’s economy is doing so well that there is no need for further stimulus? 😅🤔

- Shortsighted view of #HongKong. It is #China’s most important offshore platform for bond issuance as well as IPOs for Chinese companies. Furthermore, a very large share of Chinese outward FDI goes through Hong Kong. GDP size is not all! @TheNewYorkTimesIn 1997, Hong Kong’s economy was one-fifth the size of China’s. By 2018, it was barely one-thirtieth the size of China’s. The mainland doesn't need Hong Kong the way it once did. nyti.ms/2NwMqGz
