DOES HONG KONG HAVE THE TEAMS WHO KNOW HOW TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE FOR THE GOOD?

The more pertinent question is whether despite the good intentions and solid leadership of chief executive John Lee to keep the city safe and secure, the Hong Kong government and the city’s other organisations have the necessary talent who truly know marketing, have made the time to understand that people make a city, and how only this type of navigation skills lead to success and Happily Ever Afters?

There’s not going to be any change for the good with an oversupply of the same old things being offered to the same old and now older local population.

From the outside looking in, Hong Kong appears to be drowning in the clickbait of old school clutter comprising more and more cultural events, light shows, horse racing, the one-off concerts by Canto Popsters long past their prime and promotions on the goofy side of childishness.

Where is the sustainability of a product based on Hope and Happiness that is Made In Hong Kong for the world?
