Emigration
number year-to-date has increased by 8% compared to prior year. Anecdotal data
indicate that these people take a dim view on the future of Hong Kong as the "China
influence" is on the rise since CY Leung takes office. So people who can't
vote are voting with their feet! Hong Kong has experienced many emigation
highs, the last wave being driven by the Tiananmen Incident in 1989. It will be
interesting to see if we are indeed looking at the beginning of yet another
wave of emigration.
