Honestly don’t think the two are mutually exclusive - I.e. Hogg was willing to fire employees actively participating, but not willing to hand their names over, and that a the regulator “saved face” by saying the filing satisfied it’s request (which may have been technically true if not in spirit). It will be interesting to see if we ever really find out what happened.

It could be a true story, and it would explain why he suddenly "resigned", but so far I've only see it circulate in dodgy WhatsApp groups. The article cites "local Hong Kong media reports", but I haven't seen it in the English language HK news (HKFP, SCMP, The Standard), and I don't read Cantonese...
- mytailorisrich 7y agoDo you think the Chinese regulator would have backed down so easily (or in fact at all) to such a challenge to its authority? That does not mean he did not do it. It means that if he did do it he was then essentially fired over it and Cathay Pacific then complied and provided the information.
