Ep. 12: Jonathan Midgley - CTO at NewDay

You’ll meet many Brits in Hong Kong, but Jonathan Midgley is one of a kind.  In big demand as a criminal defense attorney, he came on the scene fresh out of English law school and made a quick name for himself by winning a notorious case that got his picture on the front page of the Star, then Hong Kong’s tabloid. His work took him to the “down and dirty” reaches of Hong Kong where he learned the City’s secrets and launched a practice that made him today’s go-to attorney for famous and well-heeled Hong Kongers in a jam.  A marvelous story teller and astute observer of human behavior, Jonathan shares his views on the relationship between Hong Kong and China, the level of bemusement with which the Chinese view the United States and its current leadership, how the world’s powers need to collaborate to get things right on global issues like climate change, and why some Hong Kong taxi drivers still years for the days of Colonial Hong Kong.
