This genuinely is fantastic reporting that goes beyond what the headline suggests. Thank you CNA.

It is painful to transform and it may fail at the end. But the world is changing, global south is booming and challenging the old rich countries, as one of the old rich places, HK has lost its competitive edges to neighboring ambitious cities in many areas. Its transformation should have started years ago but money is too easy to earn before COVID so there is no enough motivation. It is changing from top to bottom now, spending lots of money, not seeing much return so far, getting increasing integrated into the big market of China, particularly the GBA, target to leverage the money and talent flow to jumpstart its fading economics. We need to survive before we thrive.

Hence why this big greater bay area mumble jumble talk. It's just a distraction so the hk people won't feel depressed. Too late. Hk will never be like its formal glory. It is just going to be another Chinese city and the people there in denial. While the smarter ones and able ones have already left. They keep pretending that hk is the same as it was. However, it's more like hk trying to fool the world by wearing a mask saying it's still like pre 1997, while behind the mask is the real image as it's china.

I reckon that no matter how hard Hong Kong tries to integrate or stay aloof, neither way would save Hong Kong from failing tbh. Integration could kill Hong Kong (at least the very concept) but the current environment has changed, no longer allowing HK to play wingman. Sadly, the existence of Hong Kong has never been sustainable; it has always been an oddity in history somehow gaining advantages from its neighbour's (not particularly china, SEA countries as well) timely misfortunes. There's very little HK can do to change that given it physical and geopolitical limitation, not like it's their fault but it's reality, just like Detroit never had the capacity to transform since its existence and establishment were conditioned.

Integrating to Greater Bay Area means HK property prices and salaries will be getting to be the same. How scary is it ! Hong Kong people still don't know the problem.

Hong Kong is a bridge linking China and the outside world as the host said. This is a good comparison to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. The bridge is a great engineering marvel but with very little traffic. HK used to be an important financial centre, but if it cannot have capital flow through it. It is like the bridge, a white elephant. If there is a need to travel, with or without the bridge, there would still be people travelling between two places by hook or by crook. If the GBA is so promising, with or without HK, it would still flourish. Economics and politics affect each other. Not much have been mentioned around politics in HK in this episode.

I wouldn't say it's a taboo subject, but rather it's been off the rails for far too long so China hit the reset button. The main problem with HK is that it never understood the inevitable sunset of its "Pearl of the Orient" monopoly. With China growing this rapidly and having a dozen seaports just like HK, how long can you stay relevant as "exporter of cheap Chinese goods"? The fallacy of the China-hating mindset is that those wallowing on this mentality wish that China stayed poor forever. A big, big mistake. Hong Kong was built to exploit China of the 1980s. Whether it wants to develop a stronger local economy or adapt with China's tech boom, either way it is woefully unprepared to coexist with the China of the 21st century.

@@Hank-im1ek The bridge is looking to the future. The bridge is purposely constrained so HK is not overwhelmed with traffic. Mainlanders can't just drive over it. If you don't know that you don't get anything at all.

I need to say that as an expat living in the GBA the transport network is extensive but as for convenient, not at all. The bullet train stations are all unfortunately very far removed from the city centers and it takes a lot of effort to travel to those. Then there is the extensive security measures one has to go through when entering even just a subway station and the line up for these can and does take a very long time. Then one has to endure the shoving and pushing at the bullet train station’s security check points to enter the station; again a lot of time wasted. Then there is the waiting for the bullet train. One cannot really meticulously plan your trip around specific times because of all the security check points and long line ups; one never knows how long those can take, and the crowds of people one might encounter (yes there are crowds in all major big cities but unfortunately they are not very organized around these parts). Apart from long waiting times one is also exposed to herding like environments with endless railings and obstacles in stations to navigate instead of just free flow foot traffic. Taking a cab to a bullet train station… the traffic is a nightmare. So all in all as extensive as the network is it is not very efficient. The complete opposite can be said of HK though. Extremely efficient on every possible level. I do hope that on that mainland side they can make improvements. Then there is also customs to consider when entering and leaving HK and Macau. For comparison, I live 100km from HK Central and it’s a 1.5 hour drive should i want to drive there (excluding customs). It’s at least three hours on a good day if I take public transport from my house (excluding customs) - a far stretch from the so called one hour loop.

A Filipino domestic helper was diagnosed with leprosy, a serious bacterial infection, shortly after her arrival, causing considerable anxiety for her employer and highlighting potential gaps in the health screening process for foreign workers. The domestic helper, employed by a Hong Kong family through a local employment agency, started showing symptoms such as red spots and swelling in her limbs within weeks of starting her job. Her condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to her admission to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with leprosy on 14th June, 2024, believed to have been contracted in her home country, the Philippines. Reference: “Leprosy diagnosis of Filipino domestic helper in HK distresses employer, compensation denied by agency citing clean health report”

Sgpore have overtook HK as Asia Financial hub while you making this vid

HongKong would be overshadowed by the Cities of Shanghai, Shenzen, and their likes. Just based from my opinion. Basic logic that the Central Government would put emphasis in the development of a financial hub created by the party/`s central government. And the central government perceived Hongkongers not your typical Chinese. (Sons and daughters never raised by them). So they would try to develop a financial district that would be the symbol of China, according to their image. For me the beauty of HongKong and Macao is having that unique identity. The crossbreed of East and West. The vibrant territory may loose some of its glitters/shine incase the west migrated out of the area.

Hong Kong is not going to return to its past. The world has changed. The conditions which created the Hong Kong of 1997 no longer exists. Can Hong Kong regain its former shine? That depends on the leadership of the city. Hong Kong wasted 25 years in destructive political struggle. They had not kept up with the 21st century. For a port city and international center of commerce, the people of Hong Kong are amazingly ignorant about the outside world. It took them 25 years to descend to the current status. It will take them a tremendous transformation and many years to rise again. Success is never guaranteed.

HK plays a different tole int he GBA, where it provides the experience and knowhow of the firmly established professional services including legal, financial, wealth management and other related industries that China cannot, or is not interested in providing. However, it is sad to say that these services probably may only benefit and feed, say, 1.5 million people? Much like Manhattan in NY, these industries can only sustain Manhattan, not the rest of New York. And facing fierce competition from SZ, the rest of HK outside of these industries will suffer for a period of not less than 10 years until either the salary, commercial rent and cost of living of HK plummets or when SZ rises to an equilibrium, which I presume would be less than a 30% gap? By then the level of rents and salaries would be dictated by the job nature, not their residence status or identity (which IMO is ridiculous). Furthermore, this doesn't take into account that SZ can hire outside of the city. This is the hard truth nobody wants to talk about.

I live in Western Australia and I am free to campaign for Western Australia to be an independent country from the rest of Australia. In Hong Kong if you campaign for its independence from China you go to gaol. Big difference. Where I live I am free. In Hong Kong you are not free, the dictator in Beijing calls the shots.

@@freeman10000 what about Spain? Pretty sure they criminalize calling for independence. Look at those poor sods advocating for independent Catalonia. Is Spain a dictator too? How about the residents of Falklands who want to unite with Argentina? Is UK a dictator too? And let's not forget, how about the beacon of freedom and liberty, your daddy, the good ol' US of A? Chapter 115 of the criminal code devoted to "treason, sedition, and subversive activities" is your daddy a dictator too? Pretty sure the laws of your country also outlaws conspiracy with foreign agents to incite revolts. Almost all countries in the world do.

Hong Kong is just another Chinese city. The downfall of HK going forward is that it's too expensive to live there and the cost of doing business is way more costlier than the most expensive Chinese city. All HK's money making sectors like banking, property development, and so on have been in deep decline. The economic environment is very bleak going forward for Hong Kong.

@@Giles20 As long as the Chinese economy continue to struggle in all fronts: real estate collapse, factories continue to exit China, graduated students can't find job, rich Chinese move their family and money out of China, local government are bankrupt all over China - the dependence of HK in China guarantees the deep dive of its economy in the years to come.

See,,, every country has its own shining times ❤❤❤ and now it is time for HK to pass to the mainland ❤…

Why don't ask a real Hong Konger? Singapore is only lucky that she is an independent country but still needs to be aware of CCP's all aspects of intervention and even political subversion. CCP PRC China has been sending hundreds of thousands CCP members and millions of brain washed PRC nationals to penetrate into HK society even ever since before 1997 handover. HK will not reshine under the Beijing's direct administration but will become a battle field within years. The only reason that Beijing's taken over of the full control of HK administration is eyeing on the trillion HKD of reserves of HK people. Billions or even in tens of billions HKD can now and were already been easily passed in the legislation under Beijing's direct control. Land and the HKD reserves are used to fuel CCP's dream in Chips industry or the oversupply of PRC infrastructure construction industry. Anyone who understands HK language aka HK Cantonese, can search "城寨 Singjai" kowloonsingjai , "martin oei" martinoeiyoutube , "Whirling Clouds Valley" WhirlingCloudsValley , "謎米 memehongkong" memehongkong and benefits from the real Hong Kongers' view. Everyone in the world should have awaken and experiencing China's threat to the World under an insane administration in PRC China since Trump's presidential administration. HK's future lies on when PRC China collapses and breaking up into small nations or CCP/PLA's invasion on Taiwan and only then, HK will return to the british administration as the consequence of PRC's violations of the International Law on Sino-British Joint Declaration and HK will become an important military base for the US/NATO, which is crucial to the real benefits of the democratic world and the safety of Taiwan and the countries surrounding South China Sea. God bless Hong Kong and Hong Kongers!

thumbs up from Xi himself

I wish we can possess a better transportation in here across the nation (west - east coast), but there's nothing here but only an increasing flight ticket price. When the economic growth rise again, the new HK and Greater Bay will soar again. And most of the HK residents have the Mainland Travel Permit so that they travel NORTH 北上 every day, now the system will extending to those foreigners with HK permanent residence. oh yeah I think I need to renew my HK ID card and Mainland Travel Permit this year too...

Tax the RLD and allow casinos to suphon profit from Macau😂

The going ahead for Hong Kong will be tough. But the origin of Hong Kong people is Guangdong, so they will be able to blend in mainland China. Hong Kong will have to reinvent itself. Hong Kong has still a slight advantage up to now when it comes to the world outside China and it masters the English language and systems better than the mainland. Singapore will have similar challenges as Hong Kong. But Hong Kong people has the mainland to expand to contrary to Singapore.
