The neon glow of Hong Kong’s yesteryears is slowly fading away after a government crackdown on neon signs. But that neon glow, as experts say, is taking on different shades of meaning. Record-breaking protests pre-pandemic, followed by the dark years of COVID-19 have made things challenging for the city, both politically and economically. 

In this episode of Morning Shot, Professor Ho Lok-sang from the Economics Department at Lingnan University shares his analysis on whether Hong Kong has lost its shine as Asia’s financial hub.
