The “one country, two systems“ principle, implemented after Hong Kong's return to the motherland in 1997, grants institutional support for Hong Kong to consolidate traditional strengths while further integrating into the nation's overall development. As of last year, over 1,400 mainland enterprises have been listed in Hong Kong's stock market, accounting for over 80 percent of the total market value, which shows the Hong Kong financial market's appeal to mainland businesses.
