In response to the so-called "commercial warning" issued by the US government to American companies operating in Hong Kong, AmCham HK said in a statement released Friday night that Hong Kong has one of the best developed infrastructures in Asia — it has an internationally recognized system of commercial law, and a more open and sophisticated digital infrastructure than many of its Asian peers.

In the face of an increasingly complicated geopolitical environment, AmCham HK said it supports its members to navigate those challenges and risks while also capturing the opportunities of doing business in this region

In the face of an increasingly complicated geopolitical environment, AmCham HK said it supports its members to navigate those challenges and risks while also capturing the opportunities of doing business in this region.
