Story summary

Hong Kong's finance chief, Paul Chan, has pledged to step up support for businesses involved in the Belt and Road initiative, aiming to help them expand into new markets and tap regional growth. This move comes ahead of the 11th Belt and Road Summit in Hong Kong this week. According to Chan, the gradual relocation of mainland China's industrial chains towards Belt and Road regions is a response to changing economic realities. The summit will feature a "Go Global Chapter" for the first time, dedicated to supporting mainland firms that are expanding overseas. Mainland companies have already established 58,000 overseas entities, created over 2 million jobs annually, and invested $3.4 trillion globally, with nearly 90% of this investment going into developing economies.
