Thanks for the comment. But what are the alternatives? HK situation now is very much like Japan at the end of the 80s. A hot ballon waiting for explosion. Artificial low exchange rate, low interest rate, sky-high realestate price, & uncertain political system. Almost 10 years later, Japan is still trying to get out of it. Isn't it better to stablize the melt-down before letting it getting out of hand? Mainland lowered its own lending rate dramatically at the end of last week, trying to absorb some financial punches & to stimulate HK-to-mainland activity, at the risk of its own runaway inflation, which has been just under control. In the long run, $HK will flucturate dramatically. Whichever way it goes, it will hurt.
