The Better Hong Kong Foundation (“Foundation”) has a long tradition of organizing annual speaking luncheon for the Foundation’s members, Consuls General and chairmen of international chambers of commerce in Hong Kong. The Foundation takes this opportunity to share our perspectives on developments in Hong Kong, the Mainland China as well as our region. This year, we were pleased to have our Executive Committee Chairman Mr. Ronnie Chan to give a speech entitled “One Man’s View of Hong Kong in a Brave New World” at the luncheon.
