Come on.. "like" is obviously meant in economicl terms. By the way, if it was ONLY about the workforce then you could just hand out the money directly to staff. Way cheaper. It was probably a mix of interests, workforce, connectivity etc
Anyway, you are obsessed by the idea there is a secret plan to boot out Swire, like so many.
First, I don't see the fascination. So what? Then we have a different evil master. I could not care less.
Second, all you did above is simply stating the obvious. It is your wrong conclusion that matters. Just because HK is controlled by China etc it does NOT necessarily mean Swire is doomed [fact]. That is only your personal interpretation without any shred of evidence.
