This article is for subscribers only.
A former hedge-fund manager based in Hong Kong called for “genuine” universal suffrage in the former British colony in an open letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Edward Chin urged China to observe the high degree of autonomy promised to Hong Kong before its return to mainland control and refrain from interfering in the city’s administrative affairs. Chin said by e-mail that the letter, a copy of which was made available to Bloomberg News, had about 70 signatories including brokers, investment bankers and regulators that he declined to identify.
