Trump Visit to Hong Kong Could Boost City's Global Standing
Hong Kong is urged to leverage warming US-China relations and the upcoming APEC summit to invite a Trump visit, which would be a strategic masterstroke to restore its global prominence. Two years ago, international sentiment had written off Hong Kong, with a newspaper commentary titled "It pains me to say Hong Kong is over" capturing the pessimism. The city's resilience is now seen as an opportunity to burnish its image.
