SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is directly stated in a web search result suggesting a strategic necessity for Hong Kong to become a 'rule maker' to achieve its goal. However, no other independent sources corroborate this specific strategic necessity or the premise that it *must* become a rule maker to achieve this status.

“Hong Kong has spent decades proving it can operate at the world’s highest standards, in financial regulation, legal infrastructure and institutional quality.”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result mentions that Hong Kong has 'legal and financial infrastructure' and 'international exchange and cooperation' as core strengths, suggesting high standards. However, the claim that it has spent 'decades proving' these standards is not independently corroborated by multiple sources, nor is the evidence comprehensive enough to confirm the entire historical assertion.

“As China’s global weight grows and its leadership among Global South economies deepens, Hong Kong’s role at this intersection does not merely reflect China’s rise – it amplifies its own irreplaceable value to the world.”
CORROBORATED
The evidence shows multiple references to Hong Kong's relationship with China's growth and global positioning. One web search result notes that Hong Kong's growth was historically linked to mainland China's growth, and another web search result discusses the Global South context. The combination of these points, alongside Wikipedia entries detailing Hong Kong's status within China, corroborates the idea that Hong Kong's role is tied to China's expanding global weight.
