“Hong Kong for all the obvious reasons is simply the best city in the world to do business and the natural place to access the region. We believe now is the time to have an office in Hong Kong. China’s economic miracle has barely begun and is not about to be over. Mainland companies are not just satisfied with expansion but globalisation as well.

LSE is complementary to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Hong Kong is obviously the main avenue for mainland companies to raise funds but London is a good alternative for companies that wish to list in Hong Kong and an international market. LSE will help mainland enterprises to globalise their financing and tap into the European markets.”
