Occupy Hong Kong May Be Blamed for Stock Link Delay

The video discusses the delay in the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, which was expected to launch by the end of the month. The delay has caused uncertainty among brokers and is attributed to the lack of final approval from Chinese regulators. Political factors, such as the Occupy Hong Kong protests, are also believed to influence the delay. The program aims to provide international investors access to China's stock market and allow mainland investors to buy Hong Kong stocks. The delay has led to market volatility, with significant drops in the Hong Kong exchange and Hang Seng index.
