Abstract
Hong Kong went through turbulence and uncertainty when social unrest in 2019 became out of control, changing geopolitics triggered by US-China rivalries reshaped the entire business environment, and COVID-19 brought most economic activities to a standstill. Challenges came from all fronts, and at one point of time, observers expected a collapse of this global city. However, Hong Kong responded, as the six contributions in this special issue will show. The effects of the punitive US measures are two-sided. Also, Hong Kong has demonstrated institutional resilience in making strategic response adjustments. It holds on to its status as a highly ranked global financial centre and a business hub. Copyright © 2022 Informa UK Limited.
