Abstract
ABSTRACT Critics claim the 2019 protests in Hong Kong undermine it as a leading global financial centre.

China’s government will continue to support it; Hong Kong’s financial networks possess extraordinary scale and sophistication; and no viable alternative centre has emerged to challenge Hong Kong as Asia-Pacific leader.
