Interview
THE FUTURE OF HONG KONG’S
INVESTMENT CLIMATE
China has come under fire from countries,
including the UK, US, and Japan, over its
controversial national security laws for
Hong Kong. Concerns are rife that the laws
could jeopardise the city’s special autonomy
and freedoms. The new law has contributed
to worsening US-China tensions with
President Trump threatening sanctions
against Chinese financial institutions
as well as officials who contributed to
undermining Hong Kong. China has also
said it plans to restrict visas for Americans
whom it deemed might have gone too far on
matters related to the territory.
