Hong Kong national security law may spook socially conscious investors, sparking outflowsInvestors who take a sustainable approach to allocating capital may be reevaluating putting their money into Hong Kong after the city implemented a national security law, an analyst said on Friday. Lol... more like they r scared that their money is in reach of Chinese government now... let’s not deceive ourself on thinking that big money is really socially concious... evidence is in the history 🤣 Let's be honest, money doesn't care about 'social consciousness' it cares about return on investment for risk taken. When an entire system is built entirely on fraud, risk-premia need to rise. Stop with the Social Justice worldview, it's the wrong damn lense.
