Lan Kwai Fong executive: Patriotism to clear roadblocks facing HK
Look to the East
Looking forward, Zeman has confidence in the city's future and in China's development. In his eyes, the name Hong Kong is a strong brand in the world and will be stronger if it continues to integrate into the overall development of the nation.
Zeman gave up his Canadian nationality for Chinese in 2008. He explained he did it as he trusted and saw the future of the world is in the East.
He cited China's economic growth amid the COVID-19 pandemic. China's pre-pandemic economy is bouncing back hard, and it notched 6.5 percent growth in the final three months of 2020, while many countries posted negative growth.
Given that, Zeman suggested expatriates in Hong Kong stick with the place, unless they need to leave for family reasons.
He also encouraged ambitious foreigners and overseas investors who want to be successful in their careers to seek opportunities in China, as "that's the growth story".
