I think the Austrian is Hong Kong based. YOu also mentioned the Swiss that lives there and both have something in common.

The Austrian and the Swiss are shaped by the landscape. They don't have an horizon because their country is mountaineous. This shapes the mind-set of the people.

Add to that the fact -as it happens with Scotland- they could not count with natural resources. Such countries produced a big chunk if not the majority of the economic though and theories.

You heard about the Scots stereotype of being too frugal, don't you? It wouldn't surprise me that Austrians and Swiss chose HK as a base. It is not a judgement of it is good or bad. It just is: It is a rock and devoided of natural resources. Perfect lair for a Swiss-Austrian.
