【金融時報投稿呼籲全球企業減少依賴中國】
Article in Financial Times: Business must keep pushing for freedom in Hong Kong. Companies should find ways to reduce their vulnerability to Beijing.

Beijing’s coercive statecraft relies upon its power as the world’s biggest consumer market and its manufacturing prowess. The Covid-19 pandemic offers companies a chance to take stock. This is a good moment for executives to begin gradually rebalancing their business and investment portfolios. Local and overseas companies should consider diversifying their markets to avoid overdependence on China.
Liberal democracies should consider banding together to offer protection to individual companies that find themselves trapped in fights with Beijing. In these darker times, the last thing I would like to see is people losing faith, doing nothing about the situation but counting down to more arrests ahead. Actions are and will always be a solution to an era in crisis.
So long as Hong Kong continues to function as the gateway of global capital flowing into China, foreign companies and governments still have the leverage to call for more human rights and freedom protections. It is the high time these values were acknowledged. We hope the world continues to speak up when our voices are silenced.
