PoD Research Institute

After a decade of development, our think tank has officially rebranded as PoD Research Institute—a milestone that marks our commitment to advancing high-level public policy research. At the launch, we released the latest One Country, Two Systems Index. The findings reveal a continued decline in “human rights and freedoms” in local public opinion, reflecting the lingering impact of past political tensions. In contrast, international assessments show a more positive trend, with rising scores across several pillars—highlighting Hong Kong’s role as a “safe haven” for global capital amid geopolitical uncertainty.
