Hong Kong’s data hub role should be strengthened through this agreement, enabling it to bypass China’s Great Firewall more easily and connect to the rest of the world more seamlessly. Furthermore, this boost should assist Hong Kong’s data centre market – expected to see expansion of over 6 million sq ft by 2028 – which may help offset slowing mainland investment due to increasing cybersecurity concerns and restrictions on cross-border data transfers.
This new agreement between the local government and Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) was finalized in June and seeks to increase data flows between both regions, enabling both sides to maximize their respective strengths within Greater Bay Area Initiative. As soon as implemented, this agreement could bring benefits to key sectors including banking and healthcare. Hailed as a major breakthrough and achievement after years of negotiations between both sides, Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying described it as an “important milestone”. He noted that this deal will strike a balance between cybersecurity needs and cross-border exchanges, with both parties now working collaboratively on an action plan within months and exploring whether making data transfers easier between Hong Kong and the mainland could make transfers simpler for companies in both directions. He added that previously sending sensitive financial sector data, for instance, to China had proven challenging.
