Sounds like it's working very well for you there and I'm happy for you... And I think HK will continue to prosper so long as it serves the purpose Bejing has set for it (Technology transfer.. access to capital).

But according to the stats I'm finding the gap between the rich and the poor is very high in HK. The Gini Co-efficient is 53.3, which is far higher than the mainland. That's something that is ignored at HK's peril.

So are you for Universal Suffrage in HK?

Btw.. what Stack did was domestic terrorism. He was using violence to make a political statement. That's always been the fundamental definition of terrorism.
