I find that the choice re how to name an article gives hint on what the article is trying to create in news and state of reality

For example there are many ways to title below article, and Bloomberg of course found the wrong way

At some juncture the scum of MSM shall realize that they cannot sustainably impact reality, because BS cr@p can only go so far, that not all are idiots

My conclusion would be controversial on SI but for the happenings in the election, that the truth about MSM is now obvious to all, except to cretins, morons, imbeciles, simpletons, twits, and knaves, and such

I happen to believe the correct way to title the article hubbed around the graph is “most Japanese firms are not falling for what we at Bloomberg are trying to stir up, and the rest are in financial trouble and have to de-camp HK for reasons other than what we are highlighting. IOW, a nothing burger all around

Third of Japan Firms Still Considering Hong Kong Presence After Security Law
Yuko Takeo

A third of Japanese firms with operations in Hong Kong are still mulling whether to exit, downsize or rethink their operations in the city, according to the latest survey by Japan External Trade Organization published Monday.

Compared with survey results from three months ago, the proportion of companies saying they’re at least considering a reorganization of their operations in Hong Kong remained largely unchanged at 34%, reflecting continued concerns over developments in the city.

Some 13% said they had already decided to reduce their presence, while 1.7% saying they were pulling out altogether.

Japanese companies’ reconsideration of their Hong Kong strategy comes as senior Japanese officials comment on how the city’s difficulties may be offering a moment of opportunity to attract businesses to Japan and build its reputation as an international financial hub.

SBI Holdings Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer Yoshitaka Kitao said earlier this month that the online brokerage is planning a gradual withdrawal from Hong Kong, while it considers a push into China.

The report flagged that among around 300 respondents to the survey, some said there was a decline in their investment appetite for doing business in Hong Kong. Some firms also said local demand had fallen.

Still, in one sign that the sense of unease has peaked for now, the number of survey respondents expressing concern about the national security lawat the center of the crackdown in Hong Kong declined from around 80% in July to two-thirds in the October survey.
