HONG KONG, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Hong Kong stocks opened higher on Wednesday as Beijing's potential rescue fund and Jack Ma scooping up Alibaba Group shares lifted market sentiment.

Hang Seng Index rose more than 2% in early trade, and the Hang Seng Tech Index jumped 2.3%, with shares of Alibaba surging 5.5%.

Meanwhile, China's CSI 300 was largely flat. (Reporting by Summer Zhen; Editing by Sherry Jacob-Phillips)
