Hong Kong Financial Secretary responds to SpaceX listing ban on Hong Kong and mainland investors from subscribing: this move will harm US interests Odaily Planet Daily News: In response to market rumors that SpaceX has banned Hong Kong and mainland investors from participating in new stock subscriptions, Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan said that this move will harm the interests of the United States. Previously, the United States restricted mainland companies from listing in the United States, but eventually the relevant companies turned to listing in Hong Kong, making Hong Kong an unexpected beneficiary. He emphasized that Hong Kong should focus on doing its own thing, improving its listing system, enhancing liquidity, and defending its reputation. Chen Maobo pointed out that Shanghai and Shenzhen have a large number of high-quality technology companies attracted by valuation, and Hong Kong is jointly investing in future industries, including hard technology, health technology, and life science projects, by guiding sovereign funds and long-term funds. Hong Kong is establishing an international central securities custody infrastructure, placing different securities, bonds, and stocks on the same platform to achieve cross collateralization, thereby rapidly increasing liquidity and improving capital efficiency.
