Following Beijing's "two sessions," Hong Kong is expected to align with national strategies and contribute to China's growth. Beijing envisions Hong Kong as a key player in commodity trading, supply chain services, and talent acquisition, while maintaining its status as a global financial hub. The 15th five-year plan tasks Hong Kong with developing these areas, along with shipping, trade, aviation, and innovation and technology. Chief Executive John Lee has committed to creating a city plan by year's end to meet these national objectives. Chinese Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang has emphasized that implementing an executive-led governance system in Hong Kong is a “shared responsibility”.
