    RMB isn't pegged to the US dollar, but it's not freely convertable, either. OTOH, the Hong Kong dollar is indeed pegged, but doing so defeats the auto regulating nature of currency exchange.

        If a currency is pegged, it won't devalue when the economy slows down. Devaluing a currency increases exports and reduces imports, which is very important for an open economy such as Hong Kong.
