Hong Kong will enhance role as ‘superconnector” and ‘super value-adder’, while contributing to national development strategies, finance chief says
President Xi Jinping’s speech marking the 80th anniversary of China’s victory over Japan in World War II serves as a “wake-up call”, Hong Kong’s finance chief has said, as he laid out how the city was bolstering its role as a superconnector amid geopolitical challenges.
Writing on his weekly blog on Sunday, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said the Victory Day military parade in Beijing on Wednesday was a “testament” to China’s commitment to safeguarding peace through strength.
“President Xi Jinping’s important speech emphasised that humanity’s destiny is shared, and that only by treating each other as equals and coexisting in harmony can all countries and nations safeguard common security, eliminate the root causes of war, and prevent the recurrence of historical tragedies,” Chan said.
