Understanding China takes more than a single perspective.

For Bente Sollid, CEO of Digital Hverdag in Norway, faculty-led learning and first-hand experience through Doing Business with China 2.0 offered a more complete understanding of the country.

A participant in the inaugural cohort, Bente describes the programme as more than a business course—a formative journey.

Offered by HKU Business School Executive Education, the multi-city immersion combines HKU faculty teaching, company visits, executive dialogue and peer exchange. Participants explore four connected themes: international connectivity in Hong Kong, innovation in Shenzhen, industrial transformation in Shanghai, and China’s development direction in Beijing.

Discover how the 2027 learning journeys connect academic insight with business practice across these four cities.

Record-Breaking Gambling Revenue: Wealth Creation or Redistribution?

In the 2025/26 financial year, the Hong Kong Jockey Club recorded a total betting turnover of approximately HK$331.7 billion, a historic high. Including the Lotteries Fund and charitable donations, the Club returned HK$39.3 billion to society, channelled into education, healthcare, social services and other community sectors.

Writing in the Hong Kong Economic Journal, Prof. Maurice K.S. Tse, Associate Professor of Teaching in Finance at HKU Business School, noted that while the gambling industry helps optimise social resource allocation, it does not necessarily align with principles of equity. He highlighted three points to consider when evaluating its economic contribution:

Opportunity cost: The economic contribution of gambling is easily overestimated. When a citizen spends HK$100 on a lottery ticket, that money is no longer available for other consumption, such as retail shopping. Gambling is therefore primarily a transfer of wealth rather than the creation of it.

Social costs: Gambling generates hard-to-quantify costs, including mental health issues, marriage breakdowns and lost productivity. Research indicates that low-income groups tend to spend a higher proportion of their income on gambling.

Illegal gambling: If betting funds flow to illegal bookmakers or offshore platforms, the government forfeits tax revenue, bettors lack legal protection, and the funds may even be linked to money laundering.

Prof. Tse argued that policymakers should focus on rationalising resource allocation and bringing persistent gambling demand into an effective regulatory framework. While ensuring that gambling revenues are returned equitably to the public, efforts should be made to minimise problem gambling and its harm to society.

【博彩收益創新高:是創造還是轉移財富?】

2025/26年度,香港賽馬會總投注額約3,317億元,創歷史新高。連同獎券基金及慈善捐款,馬會向社會回饋達393億元,悉數撥入教育、醫療、社會服務等範疇。

港大經管學院金融學教學副教授謝國生在《信報》「龍虎山下」專欄撰文指出,博彩業固然有助社會優化資源配置,卻未必符合公平原則。審視其經濟貢獻時,應考慮以下三點:

機會成本:博彩對經濟增長的貢獻易被高估。市民花100元購買彩票,便等同放棄了購物等其他消費。因此,博彩主要是財富轉移,而非財富創造。

社會成本:賭博衍生精神健康問題、婚姻破裂及生產力下降等難以計算的代價。有研究發現,低收入群體往往將較高比例的收入用於博彩。

非法博彩:若投注資金流向非法莊家或境外平台,政府無從徵稅,投注者亦缺乏法律保障,相關資金更可能涉及洗黑錢活動。

謝教授認為,政策制定者應聚焦理順資源分配,將難以消除的博彩需求納入有效監管;在確保博彩收益公平回饋大眾的同時,致力將問題賭博及其社會損害減至最低。

Hong Kong Hosts Its First APEC Finance Ministers’ Meeting: How Does It Showcase Hong Kong-Shenzhen Synergy?

The APEC Finance Ministers’ Meeting was held in Hong Kong for the first time, while Shenzhen will host the Economic Leaders’ Meeting next month. Prof. Heiwai Tang, Associate Dean of the HKU Business School and Director of the APEC Study Centre, said in interviews with various media outlets that this year’s APEC arrangement clearly demonstrates the collaborative strengths of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

As an international financial centre, Hong Kong not only serves as a global financing platform but can also export its expertise in professional services. Coupled with Shenzhen’s strong innovation and technology capabilities, the two cities complement one another, creating a synergy where “1 + 1 is greater than 2” and further enhancing China’s overall economic competitiveness.

Prof. Tang pointed out that many economies are currently experiencing a “K-shaped economy,” in which sectors such as finance and artificial intelligence continue to grow, while traditional industries face mounting challenges. Through the Finance Ministers’ Meeting, participating economies can engage in in-depth discussions on how to leverage “Finance+” initiatives to empower the real economy and advance inclusive finance to satisfy a broader set of companies and individuals’ financing needs.

He concluded that the Finance Ministers’ Meeting lays important groundwork for the Economic Leaders’ Meeting to be held in Shenzhen next month, helping to advance cooperation among economies across the Asia-Pacific region.

香港首度舉辦APEC財長會 如何彰顯港深協同效應?

APEC財長會首次落戶香港,深圳亦將於下月舉行領導人非正式會議。港大經管學院副院長、APEC研究中心主任鄧希煒教授接受多間媒體採訪,指APEC「一會兩城」充分展現粵港澳大灣區的協同優勢。香港作為國際金融中心,不僅能發揮融資平台作用,亦可以在專業服務領域輸出「香港經驗」;結合深圳創科實力,兩地優勢互補、形成「1+1大於2」的效應,進一步提升國家整體經濟競爭力。

他指出,目前不少經濟體均出現「K型經濟」發展,金融或人工智能等行業發展呈上升趨勢,但傳統行業則面臨較大挑戰。透過APEC財長會的平台,各經濟體可就如何發展「金融+」賦能實體經濟深入交流,促進惠普金融發展,讓金融服務惠及更多企業及個人。他總結,財長會為下個月的非正式領導人會議提供基礎,推動亞太區域經濟體共同發展。

Giving Back: Building a Community That Feels Like Home

A global career opens doors, but true leadership is about holding those doors open for the next generation.

Eunjee Kim began her career in Hong Kong before returning to Seoul to become Head of the Credit Solutions Team at Shinhan Asset Management. But her connection to her alma mater didn't stop when she boarded her flight home.

Driven by the global perspective she gained at HKU Business School, Eunjee stepped up to serve as the President of our HKU Business School Korea Alumni Network. Today, she is building a bridge—fostering a vibrant community in Seoul where alumni can exchange industry insights, support one another, and grow together.

The most meaningful journeys don't end when we return home; they create new opportunities for others.

【Why APEC Makes Hong Kong More Important Than Ever】

Between APEC summits, the question remains: how can Asian economies achieve "shared prosperity" amid global geopolitical fragmentation?

With supply chains shifting across Asia, it may appear that one economy's gain comes at another's expense. However, Prof. Mari Elka Pangestu, Special Envoy of the President of Indonesia for International Trade and Multilateral Cooperation and Vice Chair of the National Economic Council, suggests that diversification and deeper integration can coexist when speaking recently at Edward K Y Chen Distinguished Lecture 2026.

Through free trade frameworks such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, China and ASEAN economies can deepen cooperation. Rather than producing an entire product within one country, economies can contribute different components across a shared value chain.

This echoes HKU Business School Honorary Professor Edward K Y Chen's concept of "open regionalism": sharing the manufacturing load rather than building defensive economic walls.

Building and connecting these industrial networks across Asia, however, takes more than policy. It requires significant investment in sustainable infrastructure, as well as financing solutions ranging from green transition bonds to cross-border risk management.

That is where Hong Kong matters.

Positioned between the Greater Bay Area's manufacturing powerhouse and Southeast Asia's growth markets, Hong Kong serves as a vital super value-adder through its free flow of capital, information and expertise, helping to transform APEC's diplomatic opportunities into economic realities.
