HK will start atoning for missing Alibaba

Hong Kong

LOSING Alibaba's 2014 listing to New York was embarrassing for a city that has thrived connecting China to world markets. Hong Kong could go some way to making up for this in 2018.

New York has been the go-to venue for initial public offerings (IPOs) of Chinese technology firms. It hosts more Internet companies than Hong Kong and the market is simply much bigger.
