不厭其煩，要講到所有人都明。中港權貴總是吹噓「香港依靠中國才能生存」，但事實上卻是「中國經濟依靠香港金融才能生存」。多年來，北京以為可以一手盡用香港為其服務、一手扼殺香港自治，現在終於踢到了鐵板。攬炒之道，就是北京要麼放手讓香港自治，在一國兩制下中港互利；要麼承受失去香港金融中心，中國經濟資金鏈斷裂之風險。

I will repeat this post until everybody understands it. Despite of the usual claims that “Hong Kong is depending on China to survive” as advanced by many Chinese and Hong Kong elites, in reality “China heavily depends on Hong Kong’s international financial centre status to survive”. For many years, Beijing has tried to make best use of Hong Kong to serve its agenda on one hand, while chipping away at Hong Kong’s autonomy on the other hand, now it finally hits the wall. “Burn with us” means Beijing can either give Hong Kong's autonomy, so that OCTS is good for both China and Hong Kong; or Beijing can lose Hong Kong as an international financial centre, risking itself to face the breakdown of its capital chain.
• Hong Kong is China’s largest source of inward direct investment
(the total amount of FDI contributed by Hong Kong in 2018 was USD 96.1 billion, constituting 74.7% of China’s total FDI in 2018)

(a total of 1,146 H-shares, Red-chips and Mainland private enterprises have been listed in Hong Kong’s main board; the total amount of IPO raised by Chinese companies in Hong Kong reached USD35 trillion in 2018, constituting 79.6% of the total offshore IPO funds raised)
• Hong Kong is China’s most important source of offshore bank loans
(the total amount of Hong Kong banks’ net claims on bank and nonbank customers in China exceeded about USD91 billion in 2018)
• Hong Kong is China’s overriding offshore platform for corporate bond financing
(the total amount of US bonds issued by Chinese companies in Hong Kong exceeded USD72.3 billion in 2018, representing 64.2% of the total amount of US bonds issued by Chinese companies in all offshore financial centres)
• Hong Kong is China’s largest offshore RMB clearing centre
(79% of the world’s RMB payments were settled through Hong Kong in 2018)
• Hong Kong is China’s its offshore safe heaven for hiding private assets
(it is estimated that a total of USD3.1 trillion was managed by Hong Kong’s financial firms in 2018, the majority of which are seen as private assets of Chinese elites)
