Hong Kong Current Threat Assessment - Implications for Foreign Business
Please note that this event has been postponed to a later date. Stay tuned for the updates.
Speaker:
Steve Vickers, Chief Executive Officer, Steve Vickers and Associates Limited
The adoption of the new National Security Law, under the direction of the National People’s Congress, will in the longer term, ensure greater stability for business but will also contain Hong Kong’s previous high degree of Autonomy.
In the lead-up to the Legislative Counsel Elections in September a degree of push back is certain from both mainstream and extremist groups alike. The risk of an increasingly desperate element within the (generally law abiding) protest movement turning to violent attacks against the police, government and judiciary has escalated in the short term.
Businesses in Hong Kong should therefore prepare for the near-term threat of much smaller, but more violent protests or for other risks deriving from becoming inadvertently caught up in shifts in the political, legal and commercial environment; this as Hong Kong’s integration into the Greater Bay area and the mainland accelerates.
In this breakfast briefing Steve will give a frank, impartial and unvarnished assessment of what is going on and the possible outcomes.
Steve will give practical advice to MNCs and other businesses based in Hong Kong as to appropriate measures to mitigate their risk and plan for business recovery.
