You continue to bend the facts to suite your argument. The reality is that the HK regulator will be looking at the owners of Jetstar HK’s Primary Place of Business when considering the application, not Jetstar HK itself. The facts are 66.6% of Jetstar HK’s ownership has their Primary Place of Business outside Hong Kong and this is a major problem. The regulator has also stated they will look at Jetstar HK’s share structure in determining the application. As I have said there is a very good reason why every single airline that has been based in Hong Kong since 1997 has had majority HK ownership. Finally if you don’t think the regulator won’t seriously take into account the intent of the “Hong Kong Basic Law” then you are delusional. Andrew Pine who advised the HK Government at the time with the drafting of Chapter V Section 4 has already stated its intent. I place a hell of a lot more weight on his opinion as one of its architects than some lobbyist.
