The government must introduce fresh impetus to enable dynamic and flexible redistribution policies, Cheung Kong Holdings Ltd chairman Li said when addressing students at China’s Shantou University, according to a speech titled Sleepless in Hong Kong posted on the website of the Li Ka Shing Foundation on June 27.
