‘The more, the better’: Hong Kong won’t cap talent scheme passes, labour chief says

The Hong Kong government has announced it will not impose a cap on the number of admissions under its talent schemes, with the labour minister adopting a "the more, the better" stance. The policy decision comes as the city participates in a global race to attract skilled workers.

The open-ended approach to talent acquisition continues despite growing concerns among observers regarding the city's capacity to absorb the resulting influx of people. The announcement followed the labour minister's five-day official visit.
