All wrong.
In 2-3 years HKIA will have three runways and booming. The aviation market in Asia and China will continue to outgrow all other markets for as long as we live.
Hong Kong will be the financial centre of the greater bay area with 70 million people. It will still be the regional HQ of thousands of international companies and attracting hordes of expats from all over the world.
In 2035 the Greater Bay Area will be the biggest metropoly in the world, united with 8 other cities, offering the entire spectrum from production, design, finance and innovation within a 50 min train ride.
Cathay and Hong Kong will have a great future, with or without us, owned by Swire or China or both.
This is just the beginning. This is Asia's century.
