Ah yes DMN, that old chestnut. Hong Kong residents in denial keep pointing to that. When people like you scurry to this statistic I am reminded of Donad Tsangs's infamous quote:
"The life expectancy in Hong Kong is among the highest in the world ... you can come to only one conclusion: we have the most environmentally friendly place for people, for executives, for Hong Kong people to live."
You just have to look out the window and/or do a modicum of research to realise how stunningly stupid this comment actually is.
How long did it take HKG to establish this life expectancy? Over that time what was the air quality like? What is the magnitude and rate of the change in air quality like in the last decade? What effect is this having to the health of HKG residents? Where will HKG place in your coveted rankings in 5/10/20 years? Maybe you should do some light reading...but I bet you knew all this already. How's that denial going?
