DoJ publishes second series of "Collection of Success Stories: Hong Kong's Professional Services Supporting Chinese Mainland Enterprises Going Global"
The Department of Justice (DoJ) today (July 9) published the second series of the "Collection of Success Stories: Hong Kong's Professional Services Supporting Chinese Mainland Enterprises Going Global". The new series compiles over 160 success stories on Hong Kong's cross-disciplinary professional services helping Mainland enterprises successfully go global, nearly three times as many cases as the inaugural series. This is to further display the competence of Hong Kong's professional services in providing full-chain, end-to-end professional support to enterprises going global, and to encourage enterprises to make good use of Hong Kong's high-end professional services with the concept of "managing risks at the source".
The Deputy Secretary for Justice and Chairman of the Expert Committee on Professional Services for Going Global, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan, said that this series of the Collection of Success Stories features over 160 success stories covering a diverse array of cross-disciplinary practices, including legal, accounting, financial, and business consultancy sectors. These cases vividly demonstrate the unique value of Hong Kong's professional services and highlight three defining features:
(1) Full business lifecycle coverage, including cross-border financing, mergers and acquisitions, compliance and Environmental, Social and Governance regulations, global intellectual property strategies, as well as cross-border dispute resolution;
(2) Representation across diverse industries, including high technology such as artificial intelligence, new energy, biomedicine, and emerging industries such as infrastructure and mining, and shipping and ports;
(3) Global investment footprints spanning the globe, covering regions including Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, the Americas and Africa.
Dr Cheung stated that in today's increasingly complex and volatile global environment, where multiple risks intersect, Mainland enterprises can no longer treat professional services as remedial emergency fixes. Instead, such services should be regarded as core components in the design of projects from the outset to enable source-based risk management. The second series of the Collection of Success Stories will offer highly valuable and practical reference for Mainland enterprises seeking to go global.
Dr Cheung added that this year marks the inaugural year of the National 15th Five-Year Plan Outline, which explicitly supports Hong Kong in leveraging its strengths in professional services to assist enterprises in going global. The DoJ has been advancing various initiatives to implement the policy directions set out in the Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address. Followingthe successful launch of the Hong Kong Professional Services GoGlobal Platform and the publication of the first series of the Collection of Success Stories in December 2025, the DoJ continues to build on the momentum with the release of the second series of the Collection of Success Stories to collaborate with other professional sectors such as accounting and finance in jointly supporting Mainland enterprises.
Dr Cheung stressed that the DoJ will continue to work closely with various professional sectors to further enhance the Hong Kong Professional Services GoGlobal Platform, promote the concept of "managing risks at the source" among all enterprises going global, facilitate precise matching between Hong Kong's professional services and Mainland enterprises, and empower enterprises by providing steadfast support at every step of their journey, thereby realising the vision of "Go Global, Choose Hong Kong".

Government announces latest progress on Pak Shek Kok Station integrated development project
The Government today (July 9) announced the latest progress on the Pak Shek Kok (PSK) Station integrated development project, and will consult the Tai Po District Council tomorrow (July 10).
The PSK development project encompasses multiple policy objectives. These include building the PSK Station to enhance commuting convenience for residents and the working population at the Science Park, as well as boosting the overall attractiveness of the Science Park; reprovisioning the existing Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) Sports Centre to a site adjacent to EdUHK's main campus to facilitate students' use of it, releasing the development potential of land in the vicinity including the EdUHK Sports Centre site in PSK to be freed up after reprovisioning; and upgrading the infrastructure required for the proposed development in the district.
A Development Bureau (DEVB) spokesman said, "As the project itself involves constructing a station on running tracks, as well as the reprovisioning of the EdUHK Sports Centre and the upgrading of infrastructure, it faces considerable engineering and financing challenges. Following detailed studies with the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL), we have finalised the development proposal that will benefit various sectors of the community. This includes not only the building of PSK Station to facilitate commuting convenience for the working population at the Science Park and nearby residents, but also the reprovisioning of the EdUHK Sports Centre to enhance students' learning and campus life experience, which also aligns with the Government's policy to promote Hong Kong as an international higher education hub. We will also finance the relevant integrated development by granting the property development rights for private residential development."
The spokesman continued, "At present, the residential and working population in PSK and the Science Park rely primarily on road transport. As the district becomes increasingly mature, there has been a strong local demand for enhancing the external transport infrastructure of PSK. We will adopt a 'station first, residential development later' approach to take forward the project, with a view to enhancing the attractiveness of the Science Park and improving commuting convenience for the residents as soon as possible through strengthened transport infrastructure."
The proposed PSK Station will be located roughly mid-way between the Science Park and the existing EdUHK Sports Centre site. The selection of the station site aims to facilitate the vast majority of the current and future residential and working populations. The proposed works also include the provision of a barrier-free elevated footbridge spanning across the Tolo Highway to connect the station with Chong San Road (near the Science Park), with a view to strengthening the connectivity between the developments on both sides of the highway.
The Chief Executive in Council has approved the Government to invite the MTRCL to proceed with the detailed planning and design for the PSK Station project, and agreed in principle to grant the property development rights of two sites to the MTRCL to finance the construction of PSK Station, the reprovisioning of the EdUHK Sports Centre, and the construction of relevant infrastructure. The two sites are located at PSK ("Site 1") and Ma On Shan ("Site 2").
The MTRCL will commence the detailed design and relevant assessments for the proposed integrated development, while the Government will continue to scrutinise the technical and financial assessments submitted by the MTRCL to further refine the project arrangements. Among others, the MTRCL will conduct detailed assessments including the traffic impact and will co-ordinate with relevant parties to implement appropriate mitigation measures. According to preliminary estimates by Government departments, the current capacity of the East Rail Line (EAL) is still sufficient to cater for the forecast passenger demand arising from the addition of the PSK Station. The Government and the MTRCL will continue to closely monitor the passenger demand on the EAL, and having regard to community development, population growth in the area, and changes in community planning, review the actual operational situation, as well as passenger distribution patterns and changes in a timely manner. Consideration will be given to the procurement of additional trains to increase train frequencies as necessary to meet the passenger demand and maintain the service levels of the EAL.
Subject to the smooth progress of subsequent works, the construction works for proposed PSK Station are expected to commence in the second half of 2028, with a target for commissioning the station by 2033. Following the resumption and clearance of private land involved at the Tung Tsz site at Ting Kok Road, Tai Po, the reprovisioning works for the EdUHK Sports Centre will commence in the second half of 2028 and is expected to be completed in 2031. To ensure a seamless transition, Site 1 will only be released after the new sports centre is commissioned. The residential developments at Site 1 and Site 2 are expected to commence progressively from 2031 at the earliest.
The paper (Chinese only) to be discussed by the Tai Po District Council tomorrow has been uploaded onto the website of the District Council (www.districtcouncils.gov.hk/tp/doc/2024_2027/tc/committee_meetings_doc/SHDC/32180/SHD_33_2026.pdf), which includes the location plans of the proposed PSK Station and relevant residential sites.
