Brain drain fears as quarter of young Hongkongers plan to emigrate
A quarter of young, educated people in Hong Kong are planning to emigrate, according to a new survey, raising fears of a growing brain drain amid China’s crackdown on opposition in the city.
When asked why, more than half cited the implementation of a sweeping national security law, under which more than 100 activists and lawmakers have so far been arrested, while others said it was down to poor governance or deep social divisions.
Britain, New Zealand and Australia were the top destinations for those hoping to leave.
