What a load of rubbish.
HK is done. The brain drain is in full flow. HK is now just another mainland city. Wild horses couldn’t drag me back. Singapore, Dubai are huge net beneficiaries of HK’s demise.
London will be fine. Taxes will be higher elsewhere, such is the price to live somewhere that isn’t dreadful. Greater Bay GDP means absolutely zero when it comes to your happiness.
A pay rise may come, because the exodus from CX is something never seen before in the industry. The GMA hasn’t seemed to grasp how big of an issue she’s created in the pipeline - if HK does ever return to normality.
STW will be the only expat to lay on his deathbed wishing he’d spent more time in HK. Let’s not forget that the overlords run an evil regime, and over the last couple of months have painted themselves as, at best, sympathisers of true enemy. Enjoy being part of that.
I’ll suffer through those higher taxes, thanks.
