The 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China adopted a resolution on further deepening reform comprehensively to advance Chinese modernization at its third plenary session. In an interview with Southern Finance 南方财经全媒体, Prof. Heiwai Tang, Associate Dean of HKU Business School and Director of Asia Global Institute, believes that the resolution charted a clear course for Hong Kong's development. The city should continue solidifying its position as a finance, shipping and trade hub. He stated that Hong Kong can leverage its universities’ academic strengths to contribute more to upstream research in various mainland cities' industries. By enhancing academia-industry collaboration within the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong can boost its applied sciences capabilities. Prof. Tang also discussed how Hong Kong can pilot models for the mainland's financial system, such as trialling virtual currencies and innovating in RMB internationalisation.

The current shuffle with the change of leadership in economic affairs may once again result in the revival of the old committees like the Central Financial Work Commission to reinstate the party’s role in managing financial regulators. The latest trends in leadership changes in economic matters will once again bring back the importance of economic management in China’s policy and social landscape.

團結香港基金 Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF) and the Center for China and Globalization co-organised the “Rethink Hong Kong Forum: Hong Kong’s New Role as an International City under the New Normal” (the Forum) on 2 December. In today's rapidly changing global arena, there are multifaceted challenges and opportunities. Hong Kong, as a "super-connector" and "super value-adder", has unique advantages and roles in many aspects, including systems, environments, and talent. The aims of the Forum were to identify strategies for achieving breakthroughs in a complex environment, to promote continuous exchange and collaboration between the East and the West, and to explore new opportunities under the policy framework of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, ASEAN, and all countries and regions along the Belt and Road. Bernard Charnwut Chan, Chairman of OHKF, and Chairman & President of Asia Financial Holdings Limited, pointed out that, in the past 20 years, in Mainland China, extreme poverty has been effectively addressed, and corruption has also been tackled. He stated that this top-down approach appears to be a more effective solution than the so-called "checks and balances" system that people are familiar with in the Western world. He continued that it makes Hong Kong start to think about which ideology should be the right way forward. #HongKong #Positioning #Role #BeltandRoadInitiative #BRI #ASEAN #Internationalisation #Globalisation #Geopolitics #Geoeconomic

Now that the SAR has completed one of its constitutional duties by enacting Article 23, it is vital for Hong Kong to set its sights on what lies ahead. Is Hong Kong prepared to turn a new chapter? Will the government also be able to act on the economy at the speed of light? So if there is a will to make good Hong Kong's economy, there must be a way too. The economy remains the immediate and most pressing concern for Hongkongers.

Will start by saying I didn’t read because I’m not wasting money on SCMP, but I find the timing of this morbidly funny. I wonder how the HK-Pakistani kids, who grew up in this city being stopped and searched every day by the police, simply because of the colour of their skin, would consider this place ‘diverse’. I wonder if the asylum seekers or refugees who cannot work because Hong Kong is not a signatory to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees would consider Hong Kong as ‘entrepreneurial’. I wonder if the lack of universal suffrage, something guaranteed at one point, now replaced by a national security crackdown, would be considered ‘open’. Singapore may not be as big, it may not be as diverse geographically speaking, there might be more ‘fun’ activities in Hong Kong (not including those “mega events”) but having visited there for a month last year and gotten a chance to really explore the place, for sure it beats Hong Kong on these three fronts 100%

Pulling the levers of control, at the heart of Singapore’s political economy is the PAP government. The accumulation of power occurs through a recurring pattern of state collectivisation and economic liberalisation, while the nation’s wealth expands through state investment vehicles adapting to shifts in geopolitics and trends in international trade and finance. Launching our latest book Singapore’s State-Led Capitalism in a Rules-Based World Order by Lee Khuay Khiang. Examining how Singaporean leaders embrace change—by meticulously balancing control and freedom, prosperity and dominance—to stay in power.
