...Is it ?? You mean foreign workers ?? What accident ??

The Brits designed and built the largest airport possible, and charged a premium for it. Yes, a lot of filipino contract workers were missing when the airport was finally completed. No one ever claimed to know what happened to them.

...I thought it shows the feminist side of Hong Kong people

When the Brits ruled, a British male typically had the senior position, and a Hong Kong lady had the next-level position. When the Brits left, there was only one qualified person remaining to take on the senior level positions.

...Legacy...I doubt it

I explained the legacy thing above.

...I don't see any problem with that, as long as it has saved the overall market and its people from being crushed by major professional players around the world.

I don't believe it saved the market, but in fact will only postpone the ultimate outcome of things. Now that the HKSAR already owns those Blue Chip stocks, what cash will they use to buy more of the blue chip stocks during the next crash?
