I don't understand how HKEX has this much money (or can raise) to buy LSE (or invertly why LSE is worth this much). Exchanges don't do clearing so essentially just a glorified piece of matching software running 24/7. HKEX has their own data center in the middle of nowhere granted which I've been to and yeah more impressive than say an Equinix such HK1 but still the figures don't seem right..
