The Pressure in Hong Kong Is Real – A Bit Too Real

Dear Global Business Enthusiast,

Michael Michelini (@michelini) here. You’re getting this email because you requested my periodic thoughts on international business from Hong Kong.

[Edit: Actually, it’s possible that you’ve never gotten an email from me. Somebody might have just given you the link to this page, which is an online archive of an email that I sent to folks who had asked for it. If you’d like to get articles like this in your inbox, totally free, about once a week or two, give me your email address.]
This week: More Young Hongkongers Are Killing Themselves ‘Due To Competitive Society’, Indian E-commerce Market to Cross $100 Bn by 2022 and Nets Makes First Overseas Foray In Tie-up With China’s UnionPay.

Always add a little personal touch to this newsletter – about half of my week has been at Thailand immigration – may not stick around this place as long as expected (digital nomad family in the making). If you want to chat about that – and more in about 12 hours we will have a webinar about all things Canton fair – free. If you are interested – it will be a fun one – register for the webinar now.
