The issue is with the title, not the article.
In the article, they refer repeatedly to the "Hong Kong stock exchange", not the "Shanghai stock exchange" or the "Chinese stock market".
Could it be that the article was originally titled "as much as the whole Hong Kong stock market", but the reviewer worried it implied that Hong Kong is independent from China; so they changed it to a `safer` but less accurate title?

- yorwba 3y agoIt's not even the whole Hong Kong stock exchange market (which has a market cap of HKD 28T ≈ USD 3.6T https://www.hkex.com.hk/Market-Data/Statistics/Consolidated-Reports/Securities-Statistics-Archive/Market_capitalisation?sc_lang=en https://www.hkex.com.hk/Market-Data/Statistics/Consolidated-... ) just apparently the half of it that consists of Chinese companies. My guess is that the author simply doesn't know that Chinese companies could also be listed on other exchanges.
