Co-founder and Co-Chairman of McGee Asia Accountants, Joe Bernstein, stated that in the past, Chinese innovative companies often went public in the United States to attract funding. Now, the possibility of Chinese technology innovation companies in industries such as artificial intelligence and semiconductors going public in the US is low, creating opportunities for Hong Kong. The Hong Kong IPO market is expected to top the global rankings by 2025. The Chinese market has become "unmissable" and the Hong Kong market has emerged from a three-year slump to reclaim its position as a global leader. This is due to multiple factors: firstly, investors' attention has shifted to China as a tech powerhouse, with the "DeepSeek moment" proving that the innovation gap between China and the US is a thing of the past; secondly, Hong Kong, as an international financial center, can meet the listing needs of mainland companies while minimizing geopolitical risks to a maximum extent; thirdly, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has modernized listing procedures for industries like artificial intelligence and life sciences.
