Hong Kong exodus – population falls as crackdown continues
As China’s political crackdown on Hong Kong continues at great pace, thousands are packing their bags and leaving the city-state altogether
Hong Kong’s population numbers have fallen for the third consecutive month to 7.9 million, with Beijing tightening its grip on the once independent territory,
Younger generations and families are leading the charge, with a 1.2 percent decline recorded over the last six months – or around 90,000 residents.
Hong Kong’s government has attributed the departures to the ongoing pandemic and associated travel restrictions.
However, some experts say it’s the prosecution of anti-government protestors, China’s continuing transformation of the education sector and its crackdown on tech that is to blame.
The declining population follows the British government announcing plans to allow as many as 3 million Hong Kong residents to settle in the UK and eventually gain citizenship.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
