HONG KONG -- The operator of Hong Kong's stock exchange has unveiled an ambitious plan to become a global market leader, with a vision of expanding its role in linking trading in mainland China with investors around the world.
Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing on Thursday said its three-year strategic plan was aimed at supporting more diverse international investment from China and attracting funds from global investors looking for exposure to the world's second-largest economy. But the strategy was met with skepticism from some longtime market watchers.
