Hong Kong: Business and the new security laws

Business Weekly

Available for over a year

On Business Weekly we ask how international businesses based in Hong Kong will react to China’s new security laws. Also - it is finally illegal to discriminate against LGBTQ people in the workplace in the US. We’ll hear from the man who took his case to the Supreme Court. As the World Bank predicts that remittances will fall by 20% this year we look at how that will affect communities in the developing world and speak to those workers who send their wages home. And two big food companies say they're rebranding products that adhere to racial stereotypes - we consider the importance of this. Presented by Lucy Burton. (Picture: HK protesters, Getty Images)
