Hong Kong exchange chief says economic 'devastation' from unrest will soon be apparent

More than six months of anti-government protests in Hong Kong have not been helpful to the economy in the Chinese-ruled territory and the "depth of the devastation" will be seen in the coming weeks, said the chief executive of the city's stock exchange operator.

Addressing a Reuters Breakingviews event, Charles Li, the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd's (HKEX) CEO also said that what made Hong Kong great was "one country, two systems".
