June 11, 2024 Stephen Roach on the future of Hong Kong: "an audacious wake-up call"
Stephen Roach, former Wall Street chief economist and Hong Kong-based chair of Morgan Stanley Asia, caused controversy earlier this year with the publishing of an opinion piece headlined "It pains me to say Hong Kong is over."
