Hong Kong defends to let JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon skip the Covid-19 quarantine

HONG KONG — A 32-Hour City Visit by JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon has drawn attention to how closed the Chinese financial hub has become after two years of keeping coronavirus cases in check.

Mr. Dimon’s visit – the first known trip to the city by the head of a Wall Street bank since the start of the pandemic – came just days after Hong Kong tightened its quarantine rules to remove previous exemptions for travelers, including top international finance executives.
