Hong Kong has locked in a familiar face for the next four years. Legislator Wu Jiezhuang has won re-election to the city’s eighth Legislative Council after securing 1,311 votes in a competitive race. The result keeps one of Hong Kong’s most vocal supporters of Web3 and emerging technology inside the city’s top lawmaking body.
After the results were confirmed, Wu Jiezhuang thanked voters and called the election a tough contest. He said the outcome reflects public trust in his long-term vision for Hong Kong’s economy. More importantly, he made it clear that innovation will stay at the center of his political agenda. His victory comes at a time when Hong Kong is actively repositioning itself as a regional technology and digital finance hub. The next few years could define whether that strategy truly delivers.
Web3 and AI Take Center Stage in His New Term
Wu Jiezhuang says his top focus will remain on financial innovation and advanced technology, with special attention on Web3 and artificial intelligence. He believes both sectors can unlock fresh economic growth for the city. Over the next four years, he plans to push supportive policies that attract developers, startups and global capital. He has repeatedly argued that Web3 is more than crypto trading. To him, it includes digital identity, asset tokenization and next-generation financial systems.

At the same time, Wu Jiezhuang sees AI as a productivity engine for Hong Kong’s future. From finance and healthcare to logistics and smart cities. He wants AI to become part of everyday industry. He also stressed that innovation must move alongside regulation to protect users and investors. In short, his message is clear. Hong Kong should not chase trends late. It should help shape them early.
Strengthening Hong Kong’s Role as a Global Financial Hub
Beyond technology, Wu Jiezhuang also pledged to upgrade Hong Kong’s financial sector. He plans to support reforms that make markets more competitive and more open to new digital tools. He believes the future of finance will combine traditional banking with blockchain tools. That includes digital assets, on-chain settlement and tokenized real-world assets. Wu Jiezhuang wants Hong Kong to stay relevant as global finance evolves. At the same time he promised to listen more closely to businesses and industry experts. He said public policy should reflect real market demand rather than theory alone. This approach, will help Hong Kong stay agile in a fast-changing global economy.
What His Win Signals for Hong Kong’s Tech Direction
Wu Jiezhuang’s re-election sends a clear signal. Hong Kong plans to keep Web3 and AI on the front page of its economic strategy instead of pushing them to the sidelines. For startups and investors, that brings policy stability. It offers confidence that innovation will not face sudden political walls for developers. For the wider public, it suggests more digital services and smarter infrastructure ahead.
Still, the work now begins. Promises must turn into real frameworks, funding pipelines and working products. The next four years will show whether Hong Kong can turn policy support into global leadership. One thing is certain. With Wu Jiezhuang staying in office, the city’s push into Web3 and AI is not slowing down anytime soon.
