| In the second half of 2019, Hong Kong has seen significant protests directed against the Hong Kong government and ultimately against the central government in Beijing. For 6 months Hong Kong was regularly a battle field between some more radical protesters and police. In a local district council election on November 24, 2019, the pro-democracy parties won in a land-slide and since then the occurrence of violence has reduced, although the government has done little in terms of dialogue or compromise. But later in December skirmishes continued between police and protesters. What is the likely pathway of next developments and what does that mean for Hong Kong’s economy, the trade, finance and tourism sectors, the employment, foreign direct investment into the mainland that goes via Hong Kong and in general what is the likely future for Hong Kong’s people? This 20+ page report provides valuable insights to financial advisors, strategy-and corporate development personnel, authors as well as to management responsible for greater China about the challenges that may lie ahead when having an operation or office in Hong Kong. This report provides an in-depth analysis of the back ground, explains the response by the local government and Beijing, discusses the short and likely long term effects on the economy, including the effects on the work force and the likely effect on real estate prices. It also discusses the future of the city state as a global center and how it will likely change.
