Further food for thought:
- the public here have no direct majority political representation, that is in the hands of the few.
- this week a feisty protest, apprently aggrevated by the police, against the flattening of a village for HKG's high speed rail link to the motherland drew the following comment from Beijings representantive here a Mr Cheng:
"I understand that these radicals are a minority in HK. If they were in the majority then we would have to send in the PLA troops"
So nobody here can have a representative voice.....on anything - even the people who were born here!
- Beijing doesn't give 2 fcuks what happens to the air here or at home - see their work on cloud-seeding and imagine how many people die in the torrential rains and snow they create
- If the 'expat guests' were to leave when they realise what it's doing to their kids, then perhaps large corporations, like CX that rely on expats to operate, will either use the 'small voice' they have in the Legislative Council functional constituency vote to improve air quality or go to the wall.
Finally - onprofile - I wouldn't want to be a 'guest' in your country.....I wouldn't even get a cup of tea would I?
