Finally ending this Asia work trip (hopefully this flight isn’t cancelled). The sentiment here this time vs 9 months ago has worsened. New government regulations is causing a slowdown in the economy, further exacerbated by the trade wars. For example, a few weeks ago, fruit prices in HK was the cheapest it’s been in a long time bc China refused all imports, and deliveries were rerouted to HK. HK was flooded with US foods (beef, fruits). The earnings gap is so wide throughout (China and HK). You can see people driving lambos next to a family of 3 on a moped. Scenes like this one on the streets of old HK are disappearing. Locals are being priced out of their homes and moving mainland. A local tells me “if you stop moving your hands, you stop eating”.
