Hong Kong's stock exchange is now actively exploring the possibility of setting up a commodities link with the mainland.
Charles Li, the CEO of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, says they're studying whether they want to create a scheme similar to the Shanghai Hong Kong Stock Connect.
While a partner on the mainland hasn't been identified, HKex officials are suggesting the prep-time for the establishment of the new system will be quicker than the creation of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect system.
HKex purchased the London Metal Exchange in 2013.
For more on the move, we're joined on the line by CRI's financial commentator Cao Can.
