any opinion on 3033.hk etf that tracks the Hang Seng Tech Index?

would it be safer to just invest in 2801.hk? it consists of most tech companies anyway.
Top 10 holdings and weightage% as follows:
ALIBABA GROUP HOLDING ADR REPRESEN 20.44
TENCENT HOLDINGS LTD 14.33
MEITUAN DIANPING 4.45
JD.COM ADR REPRESENTING INC 2.42
CHINA CONSTRUCTION BANK CORP H 2.26
PING AN INSURANCE (GROUP) CO OF CH 2.23
CHINA MOBILE LTD 1.44
NETEASE ADR INC 1.33
BAIDU ADR REPTG INC CLASS A 1.25
INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL BANK OF 1.14

3067 consists of derivatives and other instruments, no? Rather than actually holding underlying assets in the index, is it considered less safe compared to 3033?

I doubt the peg will be lost. HK doesn't need US approval to peg its currency to the USD, unless US takes the nuclear option of banning HKMA from trading USD, like its sanctions against Iran. But HK is no Iran..

If anything I would be more worried about de-listing of Chinese stocks on the NYSE/NASDAQ, should they not comply with regulations in 2 years time. Currently I invest in Chinese stocks only on HKex. The only Chinese(?) stock I have on NYSE is YUMC but that technically is an American brand.

Beijing has been trying really hard to remove its reliance on HK as an economic hub. To do so Beijing has to build more trust in their own exchanges and currency, a difficult process. Just look at all the Chinese companies returning in hordes to the HKEX for secondary listings.

Personally I don't have much confidence in HK's old economy as a whole e.g HSBC 0005.hk where moms and pops used to put their entire fortunes in one stock for the sake of 'safe haven dividends'

I reckon US need HK as much as HK need the US. It's a strategic portal to China. The ramifications of breaking the peg is significant.

Then again I'm not a finance grad so please share more opinion on how US could limit this access? The way I see it for the peg to break is HKMA running out of reserves?

Close to 96% of Ant's revenue comes from mainland China. The other 4.4% only a small part from US. You need a Chinese bank account to use Alipay in US. The only presence it has is through partnerships with Walgreens to let Chinese tourists in the US pay with Alipay.

I think China is working hard to be self-sustaining and reliant. Trading with other countries increased, trying to kick out the USA. Only time can tell how that will pan out. It is not going to be an easy road for China for sure.

With 1.4 billion people in China, i doubt that will make any significant impact in the long run. They haven't even captured the entire market yet

I guess this risk is carried by all investments in HK and China, no? that's the inherent issue with investing in the Chinese market. US trying so hard to stab China front back sideways.

There's no denying China is on her way to become the next superpower. Used to be the British empire, then the torch was passed to the USA in the past century. All I can say is don't put all eggs in one basket. Diversification is key.

Nov 5th is tentative listing date, 2 days after the election

Which bank is this, if you dont mind?

the IPO will happen...its just suspended lol

I doubt big companies in china would prosper without the blessings of the top dogs in the ccp. Pretty sure tencent and baba are where they are today because of ccp

Then again in china companies always have to uphold the interest of the country rather than shareholders’.
