(A story they haven't shown is the expats staying put bc of greater ops abroad, so Mother dear, this is precisely why I won't be moving to the land of greater unemployment anytime soon so please stop buggering.)
But I sincerely doubt that numbers will be as greatly affected as this article purports. Besides, isn't is a bit lately timed as well? We've all seen property prices fall, international schools w/smaller populations as some expats leave town and more notably, prostitution prices falling for gui mui's - a serious indicator - and private clubs either closing down entirely or no longer caring about so called HKstatus and letting the slightly less blessed through the doors.
The migratory flows won't change as dramatically as the article states - the first outflows have already passed. Now we're probably somewhere in the middle now of any possible shift.
Until then, you'll see me staying put where I am.
