Dear Global Business Enthusiast,



This week: HKFP Lens: Hong Kong’s Glittering Christmas Cityscape, The History Behind Some Iconic Hong Kong Neighbourhoods, and How They’ve Changed and Hongkongers Express Hopes For More Harmonious City, Affordable Housing in 2018I’ll be honest, I was on the edge about continuing newsletters or not in 2018. But the data shows you guys are enjoying it. Always appreciate feedback on making it better, funny thing is the news section is much more popular than our own content. Considering having more real-time “news like” content on GFA.
