UPDATED Jan. 12, 2019, 6:17 p.m.: The new chairman of one of Hong Kong’s biggest developers has some big ideas.

Victor Li Tzar-Kuoi, in his first public appearance since assuming his father’s role as chairman of CK Hutchison Holdings and CK Asset Holdings, weighed in on how Hong Kong’s property prices could be dampened, saying that the city needs to keep building, according to the South China Morning Post.
