香港護士協會不久前公佈了護士移民意向調查，結果顯示，逾五成受訪者正辦理或考慮移民，當中逾九成人因政治及社會影響決定移民.
護協去年11月訪問684名護士，有六成受訪者受聘於醫管局。結果顯示，9.9%受訪者正辦理移民手續，當中八成會在兩年內離開香港、43.9%正考慮移民，而46.2%則不會移民。最熱門的移民國家為英國及澳洲。
護協主席源志敏形容這次移民潮“好像返回97年”，擔心行內人手不足及青黃不接，促政府加開護士學額及改善薪酬待遇。對於有受訪者因政治及社會因素移民，源志敏說：“政治我們怎麼可能改變得到？”他希望政府增加培訓護士及改善待遇，挽留人才，否則數年後將面臨嚴重的人手短缺。
筆者身為醫生，也聽到一些同事及護士話要移民。事實上，相當多的護士是黃絲，醫生好一些，這是一個事實， 黃絲護士與美國的大話精政客一樣，顛倒黑白。不過當他們看到了歐美疫情的嚴重狀況，早前也看了美國全國反種族歧視暴動，對美國的信心也動搖了。加上國安法得到實施，他們收斂了很多。 很多人於是心中不快，說要移民。但是他們真正實施移民計劃的很少，因為美國英國等西方國家疫情嚴重，台灣也撕裂、薪金低。他們去了這些地方又要重新適，應找工作也不容易。因此，他們所謂的移民，說的多，做的少。

This year, industry insiders believe that China opening up is not an act of "reconciling" with the United States to ease tensions, but out of self-interest. China has turned to a "dual cycle" strategy and will continue to open its doors. In this strategy, the domestic market becomes the main growth driver, supplemented by foreign demand..
So, the world's major banks and fund companies have increased their business in China, and a record US$212 billion of foreign capital has poured into China's bond and stock markets. At the same time, Washington has introduced various measures aimed at decoupling from China. But these turbulences have not shaken the chance of global finance rushing to China to seize profit share-it is estimated that by 2026, investment banking profits alone will increase to 47 billion US dollars. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase are currently pushing for full control of their joint ventures in China, and fund giants such as the Blackstone Group have also been approved to open branches.
There are indications that after Biden takes office, the US Congress will continue to confront the line, and the financial industry may fall into it. At the same time, Beijing has vowed to continue to relax barriers to China's capital market.
In a year of turbulent world situation, China's push has paid off. After successfully containing the epidemic, China's economy has outperformed its major competitors. According to a September survey by HSBC Qianhai Securities, nearly two-thirds of more than 900 global institutional investors and large companies plan to increase their investment in China by an average of 25% in the next year.
China opening up actions were noticed by Washington. This week, a committee of the US Congress warned that China’s financial opening is part of a “well-planned strategy” to obtain foreign investment and use it to support the domestic economy. The US Congress passed a piece of legislation this week that could cause Chinese companies from the US to delist.
So far, China’s response has been to continue along the path of further opening up. Openness shows that China is realizing that in order to have world leadership in politics and finance, they need to embrace openness and become one of the largest countries in the world in all these markets.
