In the interview with Hong Kong Economic Journal Monthly, Professor Zhiwu Chen, director of AGI, said that when the trade war becomes an economic war, Hong Kong’s economic value to the mainland will only increase. Hong Kong’s unique position is founded on the “One Country, Two Systems”, which ensures the special role and value of Hong Kong’s capital market and its separate customs territory. This unique role has become even more prominent during the recent conflicts between China and the US.
