CPPCC Member Yan Feng: Suggest lowering the investment threshold for Hong Kong Stock Connect investors and expanding the QDII and RQDII mechanisms to individuals

[Caixin] In recent years, global geopolitical tensions have persisted, and the economic and financial landscape has undergone rapid changes. The relative attractiveness of U.S. dollar assets has weakened, prompting global capital to seek new “safe havens.” As a result, Chinese assets have become a favorable option for rebalancing global capital. Against this backdrop, at the 2026 National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Yan Feng, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of Guotai Junan International Holdings Limited, suggested seizing the opportunity of global governance reforms, embracing the “Invest in China” and “Chinese Investment” opportunities, and deepening the connectivity between the mainland and Hong Kong markets.

In Yan Feng’s view, leveraging Hong Kong’s unique advantages is a key strategy. A more vibrant and stable Hong Kong market will significantly boost international investors’ confidence and willingness to allocate Chinese assets through connectivity channels, thereby creating a new pattern of mutual support between the two regions, with mutual promotion of domestic and international markets, and balanced development in both directions.
