Went for two weeks in 2017. Got security advice from work, which said fine to go but don’t lie to border security, police etc because you have no reason to. Was with a touring company entire time aside from the odd ‘free day’.
Would obviously not go now, since then the whole hostage diplomacy thing has become full swing…because it works. Popped into Russia for a day but same thing, wouldn’t set foot for no money.
Still annoys me work send the odd high level American global manager to HK for no proper reason and if some generic Samsung burner phone is going to protect them.
