I hope someone on here can explain it simply. Its been a mystery to me. I reckon it's just a Chinese version of spin that makes sense to Chinese people !

Not sure what HK can bring to the Mix. Obviously HK should of got the AIIB but that went to Shanghai and HK got more low end tourist and told to be thankful....
