I applaud the steps Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu has outlined in his policy address to build a better Hong Kong, but he is missing the key ingredient.
I have just spent two weeks in Europe trying to persuade people and businesses that Hong Kong is a wonderful place and still the door to China. It has a free and dynamic business environment, a clever and willing workforce and an open government. It is a great holiday destination.
The issue that always comes up among those who are interested in Hong Kong, or who have left and are thinking of returning, is the city’s Covid-19 policy. Linked to this are the concerns of those with children about the ability to attend face-to-face lessons and mix with peers.
No other issue is as important. The unrest and the national security law are forgotten.
Remove the Covid-19 regulations, as the rest of the world has done, and Hong Kong will prosper. It is the only thing that will really bring back people and investment.
