HONG KONG – On a recent, rainy weekday, the owner of a jade shop in Causeway Bay sat alone in her store. While business was brisk at Bowrington Road wet market next door, few shoppers gave a second glance to the jewellery in her shop window on Tin Lok Lane. “It has been quiet these two months. There are fewer mainland tourists visiting,” the woman says. “The tourists buy more than locals. Businesses need them. We pay the government taxes and rates. If the government stops tourists from coming, is it going to pay us?”
