<<It is interesting that you choose to live in Hong Kong and are proud of your British inheritance which makes it so good compared with the alternatives>> ah, before we range too far, let us give credit where credit is due ... hong kong inherited the same laws that nz inherited, namely british, and yet neither britain nor nz display the same vigor that hong kong has sustained, even long after the british has become a footnote of no particular consequence in hong kong and is arguably a part of the dominion of communist china. why is this? do you suppose it is because the people of hong kong, meaning all those who live here, originating from all parts of this planet, is special, or very special? another note, as hong kong does not have one-person one-vote by your meaning, but all can toss ballot via capital and physical presence measures, we have sustained the two #1 status in the universe and galaxy, respectively, do you suppose it all has to do with capitalism, with which you are certainly not familiar with, or has to do with our supposed lack of franchise? so, a reminder, nz would be lucky should it come to be ruled by hong kong, but alas, we of hong kong are not at all interested in politics ... waste of time, as in making nails out of gold, waste of matter, or investing in qcom, waste of money
