Mq's concept of purchasable citizenship will work wonderfully in HK. You can charge an arm and a leg.

> (i) folks from any other country wishing to become a resident in hk on own (not employment or self employment, which are much easier) can do so by putting us$ 850k (hkd 6.6 mil) equity to work in any hk abode of equal or great price So anyone who is not residing on mainland can buy a property of US$850K and get the citizenship immediately? If that is the case, Box could buy HK citizenship for all his SI cyber friends and move rent-a-ledge business there. <G>

Wait a minute, I've had a go at reading it a couple of times to avoid ElM syndrome [failing to read correctly then leaping to a racist and wrong conclusion] but does that mean it's easier for me to go and live in Hong Kong and become a resident and presumably a citizen complete with passport toting 'rights' though 'rights' are probably not something that's a legal word in China [which includes Hong Kong]? <(i) folks from any other country wishing to become a resident in hk on own (not employment or self employment, which are much easier) can do so by putting us$ 850k (hkd 6.6 mil) equity to work in any hk abode of equal or great price, but (ii) because too many mainlanders can afford such equity, the folks from above northern border must prove their quality (degrees, enterprise size, skills, talents, etc etc) > Why do they make it tougher for China's residents to migrate to Hong Kong than for me? Racists normally do the opposite. I smell a rat. Perhaps it's to entice a lot of foreigners to set up shop in Hong Kong, while the local yokels leave for China, then when the cage is full, the trap will be sprung on the foreigners and the assets confiscated.
