Hong Kong actively participates in the World Economic Forum. Chan Mo-po: Seizing the role of "super connector" in the changing landscape

The Financial Secretary Paul Chan summarized his trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in his latest blog, pointing out that international political and business leaders have a positive outlook on Hong Kong's economy, a significant change compared to the past few years. He emphasized that as the global landscape evolves rapidly, Hong Kong must maintain a sense of crisis while seizing the opportunities brought by the country's expanded opening up, leveraging its unique advantages of "internal connection and external communication."

China's development path has become one of the focal points of the annual meeting. Paul Chan noted that with the improvement of technological levels and the expansion of the middle-income group, China is transitioning from a labor-intensive export model to the export of high-end industrial and technological products. This transformation not only enhances China's position in the international supply chain but also presents significant opportunities for foreign enterprises due to its vast consumer market.

Paul Chan emphasized that in this century-long change, Hong Kong must remain vigilant against geopolitical risks while actively seizing the opportunities brought by the country's high-level opening up and high-quality development, making good use of its unique role of "internal connection and external communication" to explore broader development space and promote international dialogue and cooperation
