Hong Kong is struggling. Expats have left in droves and a recent poll indicates 38% of all university students in Hong Kong would leave if they were given a change. That is not a recipe for a thriving city.

In this episode, Austin and Cody discuss how the financial hub of Asia went from a shining jewel that attracted talent from all over the globe to a dying city.
