That's the reason hedge funds are shorting the HKD in anticipation of the peg broken.
The ability to defend your currency is defined by the amount of foreign reserves you have. As the Asian Financial Center, it has 417billion USD (although declined from its 2021 peak of close to 500billion) and nothing is more important to the a Financial Center than stability and honorability I guess.
So, good luck to the funds!
