[Global Network Report] According to Hong Kong's "Ta Kung Wenhui Network" news, Hong Kong SAR Government Investment Promotion Agency Director Fu Zhongsen said in a TV program today (25th) that a number of data and exchanges between Invest Hong Kong and enterprises show that, The implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law has not caused foreign capital to leave Hong Kong.
Fu Zhongsen said that the number of overseas and mainland-based companies in Hong Kong increased by more than 9,000 last year, a record high, and the number of start-ups established in Hong Kong by local, international and mainland companies also hit a new high.
Invest Hong Kong assisted 333 companies to establish or expand in Hong Kong last year, while only about 5 or 6 companies left Hong Kong.
According to the report, Fu Zhongsen also quoted data from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in 2020 showing that Hong Kong is the third largest attractor of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the world, after the United States and the mainland.
He believes that various data reflect that the Hong Kong National Security Law has not caused foreign capital to leave Hong Kong, but rather the epidemic has an impact on Hong Kong and the global business environment.
Fu Zhongsen also mentioned that some countries have a lot of misunderstandings about the Hong Kong National Security Law or due to false reports by some media. Invest Hong Kong is working hard to break these myths and correct those exaggerated and false reports.
