Hong Kong's Reality

Hong Kong's Reality

Hong Kong is one of the world’s most important business hubs, not to mention China’s key financial clearing house for 72% of all money flowing in and out of the Mainland.

With the news reports of Hong Kong’s seemingly violent and chaotic protests, the reality on the ground may be very surprising in its normality and safety.
