Hong Kong alone is not able to comply with the OBOR purposes, despite it is regarded as the major pilot and pole of international trade. Its reduced economic and geographical size does not allow to be the one, which is why a merge with Shenzhen is beginning to be considered a good solution.

Local Chinese economists compare such a merge with the one that from 1990 to 2000 took place among the two areas of Berlin as well as with the one between Vietnam and Yemen.

Which steps will be taken? Encouraging and pushing Western Europe, Afriacan and Middle East banks to set up branch in Shenzhen, bringing Hong Kong's and Shenzhen's stock market together, so to standardize their market values with the MiFID ones.

Shenzhen is expanding day by day, acting as the strategic tile of that puzzle which will allow China to attract foreign investors, strenghtening its economic role more and more.

STAY TUNED!
