I spoke with economist Dr. Marc Faber, aka “Dr. Doom”, the editor and publisher of “The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report” about his views on the outlook for the Hong Kong economy, global markets, and personal investing following the announcement that China’s central government has passed national security legislation for the Special Administrative Region which is due to come into effect in coming months. Dr. Faber spoke with me via internet call from his home in Chiang Mai, Thailand on June 1, 2020.
