Come together, right now, Bond Connect Following the close of the annual National People's Congress last month, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang announced the establishment of a Bond Connect between Hong Kong and mainland China. China's decision to add a debt link to complement the existing Stock Connect is expected to better enable overseas investors to trade PRC-traded bonds.
