Yue received a bachelor's degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, a law degree and a master's degree from the University of London, and an MBA from Harvard Business School.^[1]

In September 2022, Yue said that when inviting executives to Hong Kong for the Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit in November 2022, "Nobody asked about quarantine restrictions [then], or any arrangements needed to come to Hong Kong."^[4] In contrast, earlier reports said that executives told the Hong Kong government they would be reluctant to travel if hotel quarantine was required,^[5] or if any other restrictions remained in place.^[6] Yue said that their attendance to the Summit was a vote of confidence for the city.^[7] On 27 October 2022, Yue said that he hoped the public would understand letting the guests to the Summit be exempt from normal COVID-19 restrictions, where other arrivals to Hong Kong cannot eat at restaurants in the first 3 days after landing in the city.^[8] Despite the COVID-19 exemptions for the guests, Yue said "Hong Kong is back."^[8]
