In Davos, Hong Kong battles to regain lost investor glitter

DAVOS, Switzerland: Bruised by months of street protests and calls to resign, Hong Kong's pro-Beijing leader Carrie Lam came to Davos with a tricky pitch to sell — that the Chinese territory is still a safe destination for investment and she is not going anywhere.

Her stay at the four-day event in the Swiss Alps, which wrapped up on Friday, was shadowed by a downgrade from Moody's a day before the World Economic Forum (WEF) even began on the grounds of a lack of government response to the protests.
