KPMG is one of several big businesses in Hong Kong encouraging staff to vote in what the government is billing as a “patriots-only” election for the city’s legislature, as authorities worry about low turnout in the poll.

The Big Four auditing firm has offered staff an extra day off if they exercise their “privilege to vote” in the elections on Sunday for the Legislative Council, Hong Kong’s de facto parliament, according to an internal email seen by the Financial Times.

“Colleagues who have voted will be asked to complete a simple online application to indicate that they are eligible voters and have voted,” KPMG said in the email on Tuesday. KPMG did not respond to a request for comment.

Journalists and freedom of expression

jun23 Bao Choy disse aos jornalistas que tinha sido demonstrada a "importância da liberdade de imprensa e de expressão constitucionalmente protegida na cidade". Um tribunal de recurso de  Hong Kong  anulou uma condenação por enganar o governo imposta a uma jornalista premiada, no que foi visto como  uma rara vitória para a liberdade de imprensa no território  governado pela China. Bao Choy   foi considerada culpada, em 2021, de enganar as autoridades num pedido de acesso a registos de propriedade de veículos. Na altura, estava a investigar os autores e passageiros dentro de uma estação de comboios, durante os protestos maciços contra o governo em 2019 para o seu documentário. https://pt.euronews.com/2023/06/05/tribunal-de-hong-kong-anula-condenacao-da-jornalista-premiada-bao-choy mai23 Hong Kong's leader said on Tuesday public libraries needed to ensure books don't violate local laws, amid criticism that many books and videos related to China's Tiananmen Square cr

"Foreign firms are expanding in HK" (OU NÂO...)

jan23 Certainly mainland Chinese companies are now dominant on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, representing 77 per cent of the market capitalisation of companies listed here, or 93 per cent including Hong Kong domestic listings. Those volumes have risen as US-China tensions have led some US-listed Chinese companies to move here. A new project to expand HKEX’s Stock Connect programme with the mainland stresses the intent to diversify by attracting international companies to Hong Kong, and linking them with the vast sums of retail investor money in mainland China. That may be a tough ask. Few western companies are currently listed in Hong Kong. And those that are are thinly traded. (Glencore is among those that delisted for this reason). Hong Kong’s idea now is to lure a clutch of consumer brands with strong positions in China — from luxury goods makers to German car brands. Prada currently cuts a lonely figure in this segment. The exchange is also keen to draw listings from fast-growing c
