Hong Kong’s ‘Mainlandization’ Remaking World City
Listen now
Description
Hong Kong’s niche as a social and economic crossroads has framed its legend for decades. Now, a new generation of eager, young professionals from mainland China is rushing to Hong Kong to pursue similar dreams, filling the gap left behind by the city’s dwindling ranks of western expats. Their presence signals a seismic shift toward the city’s “mainlandization” and heralds the emergence of a compelling new chapter in Hong Kong’s history. What’s driving this watershed change? What will it mean for Hong Kong’s economy? Its job market? Its business prospects? Mark Tibbatts of PageGroup, and Francis Chan and Peter Lau of Bloomberg Intelligence join hosts John Lee and Tom Corbett for a glimpse into Hong Kong’s future, and what it means for the world.
