After the Chinese mainland joined the World Trade Organization in 2001 for direct global trade, Hong Kong's traditional export-import role diminished. The SAR seeks value-added opportunities in the Greater Bay Area, ASEAN, and RCEP. It faces different challenges. Oswald Chan reports from Hong Kong.

過去兩年來，香港經歷了內外環境巨變。社會運動影響下，本港經濟持續低迷，加上中美貿易談判曲折、新冠肺炎疫情衝擊 、世界經濟下行，無疑令本地困局雪上加霜。失業人數不斷攀升，青年失業率更遠高於其他年齡組別。若要走出逆境，年輕一代需要多元發展，而粵港澳大灣區建設正好為他們開闢一條發展的新跑道。

Though Asia has been the world’s fastest-growing region for decades, until recently there were limited case studies that referenced Asian business and economic topics, as most case studies were produced in Europe and North America. The Asia Case Research Centre (ACRC) was founded in 1997 to redress this imbalance and cater to unmet demand. ACRC has produced numerous Asia-based cases focusing on global sourcing, business ethics and many other topics aimed at academics, national and international institutions, and organisations of all sizes.
2020年1月15日，中美兩國歷經兩年的貿易戰終於簽署了第一階段經貿協議（以下簡稱「貿協」），但這一利好消息很快就被兩國各自的重大事件淹沒。當前「2019冠狀病毒病」（COVID-19）肆虐，中國已採取了前所未有的防控措施，或會影響其短期的經濟發展。2月12日，美國聯邦儲備局主席鮑威爾在國會聽證會上表示，疫情甚至會拖累全球經濟。本年美國面臨四年一度的總統大選，民主黨初選暫由最年輕的候選人布蒂吉格（Pete Buttigieg；38歲）和最年長的候選人桑德斯（Bernie Sanders；78歲）領先，但尚未產生能挑戰特朗普的候選人。雖然COVID-19不會成為美國總統大選的重要議題，但中美貿易問題必然會是重中之重。
