Andrew Left, Banned for Evergrande Warning, Now Wants an Apology
==========
Andrew Left, a prominent short-seller, is demanding an apology after being banned from Hong Kong's financial markets for five years. Left had issued a warning about the troubled Chinese property developer Evergrande in 2012, which turned out to be accurate. He believes the ban was unjust and politically motivated. Left is known for his research firm Citron Research, which publishes reports on companies it believes are overvalued or engaged in fraudulent activities. Left's ban is seen as a blow to the reputation of Hong Kong's financial markets and raises concerns about freedom of speech and the ability of short-sellers to operate in the region.
