According to the American Chamber of Commerce in the city, about 280 companies have regional headquarters there.

"We are here to support our members to navigate those challenges and risks while also capturing the opportunities of doing business in this region," it said. Mr Moon added that although Hong Kong is an incredibly valuable economic hub, the so-called "one country, two systems" principle which has come under pressure means its appeal to foreign firms will have changed.
