胡志偉議員：現時在中美貿易戰的環境下，很多評論甚至親建制的商人也很擔心貿易戰會殃及池魚。美國除了會對中國更多貨品徵收關稅外，最終甚至可能會考慮取消其《香港政策法》。假如美國真的取消《香港政策法》，香港的特殊地位可能會動搖，例如美國可能會禁止某些高科技產品進口香港。屆時，香港作為中國對外連繫的角色將會大受打擊。又例如在民生方面，香港人前往外地公幹、旅遊及升學均可能受到限制。現時美國已限制內地留學生前往美國升學，我們不知道屆時香港的情況會如何。即使美國不會一步到位，而只宣布會研究《香港政策法》是否仍然有效，也會動搖投資者的信心，甚至引發撤資。因此，我的質詢是，特首在施政報告中只提到香港簽訂了多項自由貿易協議，加上香港背靠內地，已能獲得大量機會，而大灣區及"一帶一路"的發展亦會帶來很多機遇，但我想問特首有否評估，假如美國質疑香港的"一國兩制"已失效，繼而宣布研究取消《香港政策法》，究竟會對香港有何影響？
行政長官：主席，我希望胡志偉議員剛才的質詢是從香港的利益出發。對於今次中美貿易摩擦對香港的影響，商務及經濟發展局局長不斷進行評估，不斷與香港的商會討論，亦不斷推出支援業界的措施。因此，如果有商界人士認為我們今次並無提供很多額外支援，那是因為他們忘了過去數月來邱局長公布的一系列措施。按照我的管治風格，我認為該做的事不應留待一年一度的施政報告才做，讓特首領功，而應立即做。我手邊有兩頁紙，載列了邱局長在過去數月推行的各式各樣的措施，有些關乎香港出口信用保險局和香港按證保險有限公司，而有些則關乎降低擔保費、增加最高貸款額、延長貸款擔保期，全部工作正在未雨綢繆地根據評估進行。因此，胡議員可以放心，我們是會進行相關工作的。
至於現時美國政府往往作出一些單邊主義行為，我們對此非常有意見，因為我們是最支持自由貿易的其中一員，亦是世界貿易組織的立法會─2018年10月11日135成員之一。因此，對於一些據報會影響香港的事，我們一定會據理力爭。正如我昨天在記者會上提到，這些貿易和投資是互惠的。我們不是說從美國方面取得大量好處，而是彼此互惠。我們是美國全世界貿易順差最高的經濟體，現時有1300多間美國公司在香港設立地區總部、地區辦事處及本地辦事處。這些是香港與美國的共同利益，亦需要兩地政府共同維護。

MR WU CHI-WAI (in Cantonese): But may I ask the Chief Executive whether she has assessed the impact on Hong Kong if the United States doubts that "one country, two systems" has failed in Hong Kong, and then announces the commencement of a study on repealing the Hong Kong Policy Act?
CHIEF EXECUTIVE (in Cantonese): President, I hope Mr WU Chi-wai is asking this question in the interest of Hong Kong. The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development has been continuedly assessing the impact of the trade conflict between China and the United States on Hong Kong this time around. And he also maintains discussions with trade associations in Hong Kong and continuously rolls out measures to support the trades. Hence, if members of the business community consider that we have failed to provide much additional support on this occasion, it is because they have forgotten the series of measures announced by Secretary Edward YAU over the past few months. Adhering to my style of governance, I call for immediate implementation of necessary measures, rather than leaving them till the release of the annual policy address for the Chief Executive to claim credit. I have at hand two pages of information on the many varied measures introduced by Secretary Edward YAU over the past few months. Some of them are related to the Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation and the HKMC Insurance Limited, while some of them are related to reducing the guarantee fee, increasing the maximum loan amount and lengthening the maximum loan guarantee period. All of these measures are based on assessments and introduced to prepare for a rainy day.
For this reason, Mr WU can rest assured that we will take them forward. We have strong opinions on the acts of unilateralism currently done by the United States Government because we are one of the staunch supporters of free trade, as well as a member of the World Trade Organization. Hence, for issues reported to have impacts on Hong Kong, we will definitely stand our ground. As stated by me in the press conference yesterday, such trades and investments are reciprocal. Instead of reaping considerable benefits from the United States, we have been trading with it on a reciprocal basis. We are the economy against which the United States records the highest trade surplus in the world, and at present, some 1 300 United States companies have set up regional headquarters, regional offices and local offices in Hong Kong. These are the common interests shared by Hong Kong and the United States, which also require the concerted efforts of both governments to preserve.

有d嘢中國嘅京官可以講，但作為香港特首嘅777 就唔應該講，仲以為口賤去示忠就得政治正確？
先唔講777作為香港特首，應該以港人利益出發（佢當然唔care)，佢老闆習近平係中美貿戰緊都仲要去表達香港嘅特殊性，777咁武勇係咪俾授權係香港關係法上去講鷹派說話先？
再者，支持港共執政嘅財閥好多都係靠香港關係法下嘅區別對待而係香港賺錢，777咁講影響到佢哋生意，遲早有反彈。
