Hong Kong property tycoon Gordon Wu Ying-sheung expressed optimism about China's future, citing its 'stability' and economic potential. He emphasized China's lack of war and Hong Kong's unique position under Chinese protection with its own legal system. Wu also compared China's stability favorably to the U.S.

Hong Kong property tycoon Gordon Wu Ying-sheung has said he is “very optimistic about the future of China” due to its “stability” as he received the Game Changer Award from the Asia Society for his contributions to the country’s development.

At a fireside chat on Thursday after receiving the award from the city leader, the 90-year-old founder and chairman of Hopewell Holdings said he has been betting on China since its opening up in 1978 and had remained confident.

“Hong Kong is very fortunate because we are under their protection and we have our own legal system, the common law system. We have the best of two worlds.”
