Just as the Mayflower’s
Pilgrims longed for essential freedoms,
so do many of Hong Kong’s citizens.
Ivan Ko is therefore
proposing that a new city be born, one
that would welcome emigrants from Hong
Kong. Because he is a “property tycoon,”
Ko has the means to make this
happen. He is hoping to found a new city between Dublin and Belfast.
Ko sees this as a win-win
because Irish officials have been
wanting “to develop regions outside the
capital.” Ireland has low corporate taxes,
along with “very strong manufacturing and
biomedical companies.” Technology giants also have a large footprint
there.
Ko has already been talking
with Irish authorities in
order to get this going. His plan is to create a haven for 50,000 Hong Kong "Pilgrims."
