We are living in a technological cold war where there is an iron curtain increasingly developing uh being drawn up between mainly China and the US. And what is clear to me is that increasingly uh Hong Kong is getting looped into mainland China. This I think may be net bad for the financial services sector in Hong Kong which relies on being a crossber hub not just of funds and financing as you know but also of talent and IP.
The U.S. has been the world's dominant military power for so long that we've forgotten what it's like to have a peer competitor. And the scary thing is that China isn't just catching up — in some domains, they've already surpassed us.
