At this year’s Two Sessions, the spotlight shone on the continued growth of the private economy. Business leader Dr. Henry Tan—a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference—emphasized that Hong Kong SAR is uniquely positioned to drive major upgrades across China’s industries.
In a recent interview with CGTN's Xu Yi, Tan detailed how Hong Kong SAR leverages its strengths in fisheries modernization, industrial upgrading, and international cooperation. He described the region as a ‘super connector’ that bridges local expertise with global opportunities, effectively linking traditional markets with innovative economic practices.
This vision is fully aligned with emerging global trends, where strategic collaboration and forward-thinking approaches are transforming industrial sectors. The initiative also resonates with the #2025ChinaAgenda, a roadmap that underscores sustainable development and dynamic economic integration in an interconnected world.
As leaders and changemakers worldwide seek models for effective modernisation, Hong Kong SAR’s proactive role as a super connector may well serve as a catalyst for the next phase of industrial and private sector growth in China.
