I think it's healthy to have a diverse set of mid and upper market companies. Chinese companies will ultimately buy their way into up market businesses. One antidote that I can readily think of is the acquisition of the street wear company Bape buy a the Chinese/Hong Kong manufacturer I.T Group. Forbes magazine is another company that was acquired by a Chinese company.

Furthermore, Hong Kong has some international appeal and most people think of it as a nation separate from China. In reality, companies from China incorporate in HK to escape the aurora of being a Chinese compnay

Hong Kong companies have better brand reputations than Chinese companies but gradually there are more Chinese brands gaining better reputations.

I would expect this to continue. In fact, there are probably a few brands that are Chinese that you don’t realize are Chinese.

I’m not sure the whole swallowing of Hong Kong (and ignoring the two systems one country thing decades before it was set to lapse) is helping with brand reputation.
