The same scene was played out in Hong Kong. In late October, as the Hong Kong government fought an extraordinarily bloody battle to support the Hong Kong dollar, not only did the Hong Kong stock market nosedive, it even triggered a "global crash" as the New York stock exchange fell with it and markets in other countries followed suit.
同樣的戲碼也在香港上演：十月下旬，港府的港幣捍衛焦土戰空前慘烈，不僅港股連番重挫，連遠在半個地球外的紐約股市都隨之崩盤，各國股市哀鴻遍野，演變成一場舉世撼動的「全球股災」。
