// When a significant number of middle-class professionals are permanently leaving . . . because of their certainty that Hong Kong no longer enjoys the kinds of freedom and autonomy on which it has thrived, the problem is no longer simply one of brain drain. . . . //

[Nikkei Asia @NikkeiAsia]

Exits have surged, with a net 78,000 residents leaving over the first two months of this year amid the city's worst COVID outbreak and ongoing political turmoil.
