Very strong winds - but within X-wind limits?

I'm looking at the actual for HKG giving 10031G50KT

The runway is 07, its within wet Xwind limits for my type (744)

I notice a/c are landing and taking off - I'm somewhat perplexed.

It must be as rough as anything, and any form of road transportation isnt going to be running ... so why take the 'risk' and make an approach?

What would you do?

(Any HKG based or regulars on here?)
