The American Chamber of Commerce’s Hong Kong chapter urged government action to address grievances underlying the city’s recent unrest, saying steps must be taken to restore sagging business confidence.
Hong Kong’s leaders should appoint an “internationally credible” independent inquiry into all aspects of the protest movement and formally withdraw the now-suspended extradition legislation that prompted the demonstrations, AmCham said. The chamber said its statement represented the views of a “clear majority” of its members surveyed in recent days.
