Hong Kong, previously 50th, has just ranked 93rd on the ECA International ranking of best cities for expats. A drop associated with the political unrest as well as the coronavirus outbreak. Expat.com offers a little insight into the situation in ...
I have been living in Hong Kong for ten years and am in total opposition with everything @Shill88 claimed above. Hong Kong is still an amazing and very active city, and still a fantastic business hub. Some people live in a fantasy where it would be ... Read More
