We're about a week away from the anniversary of the start of Hong Kong's most tumultuous period since 1945. Assuming a) the days of mass street protests, tear gas barrages, violence/arson/etc. are over, b) the political tightening will continue, restrictions of freedom of speech, assembly, press, opposition will continue at a faster or slower pace and c) one way or another, the pandemic restrictions go away, through vaccination, brute force or just outlasting the bugger...
What will Hong Kong look like in a year or two or five, when the smoke clears? Will the mainland 'tourists' ever return? Will other Asian/global tourists come in large numbers? Will significant numbers of locals, expats, international companies leave - enough to have a noticeable effect? Will property prices keep rising? Will Disney and Ocean Park both survive?
I'm thinking in practical terms, not political - obviously politics plays into this, but more day-to-day, month-to-month...
