During the live broadcast, Li Huiqiong repeatedly reported that he often received opinions from the public, saying that under the epidemic situation, unemployment is facing family financial difficulties and "is about to commit suicide." However, the MPF contributions are clearly his own assets and cannot be recovered. Part of the urgent need to be resolved.

Xu Zhengyu did not respond positively. Li Huiqiong also pointed out that the government has an official position and does not intend to implement it. I believe the Secretary will not have any new views for a while, but emphasized that this is a common opinion of the public.

Xu Zhengyu also pointed out that the financial market is still booming under the epidemic. Last year, the IPO in Hong Kong was as high as HK$400 billion, an increase of about 30% over the previous year, reflecting that Hong Kong is a good place to gather wealth and attract companies to go public to raise funds.

When asked whether the ideal number of IPOs is related to the US's suppression of Chinese companies, Xu Zhengyu pointed out that the opening up of the Hong Kong market and the changes in the international environment over the past year may indeed cause some Chinese concept stocks to "have new ideas" for overseas listings. Hong Kong has a strong presence. The regulatory system and capital pool also have considerable depth and thickness, and therefore become a suitable place to stay.
