Hong Kong’s John Lee pledges to align with nation’s new 5-year plan

Hong Kong's Chief Executive, John Lee, has committed to aligning the city with China's 15th five-year plan, which outlines the nation's economic and social development goals from 2026 to 2030. Lee stated that Hong Kong will proactively seize opportunities to meet national strategic requirements and transform Beijing's assigned "new positioning, functions, and missions" into tangible results. The plan commissions Hong Kong to develop a commodity trading ecosystem, a high-quality supply chain service center, and a global talent hub. Beijing continues to support Hong Kong as an international center for finance, shipping, trade, aviation, and innovation, while strengthening its role as a global offshore renminbi business hub. Lee's pledge came as China's legislature approved the plan and other related laws.
