  1. Many of them are inhabitable for a reason because they are undeveloped and far away. There are some bigger islands such as Lamma Island, Cheung Chau and some smaller ones where people lives. But most of them do not have public roads for cars and ferries are the only way for transport. There are future projects to further developing Lantau Island after the CLK Hong Kong International Airport and Hong Kong Disneyland project at Sunny Bay. However, the terrain over there are pretty unsuitable for development. Furthermore, the land in Hong Kong is controlled by the government. Through collusion with the major developers, only a very small proportion of their land holdings are being sold at astronomical prices. Which then, the developers passed onto the individual buyers for further profits. This is the major revenue for the government to keep their tax rate low. As you can see the consequences on the sizes of the flats getting smaller to discourage family planning from the rising costs. In addition to median income unchanged since 2000 and cost of living went up more than 250% since that time. In addition, there is no rent controls for any residential and commercial spaces. When you put all of those factors together. The gap between the wealthy and the poor has been widened with the middle class virtually being non-existent. At this rate, with the lack of social programs and deteriorating social standards all around Hong Kong. It is heading for the complete collapse of epic proportion when the intrinsic value is far outstripped by the materialism from this extremely inflated housing bubble being played by this system ever since the 1970s. However, it has been getting out of control since the Handover. For your information, there was no new public housing development since 1998. Also there are 5 million illegal immigrants not classified in Hong Kong to exacerbate the housing crisis further. Hong Kong is at a boiling point and breaking at the seams. Beijing does not have a clue of what to do other than eradicating anyone not buying to their plans of "One Belt, One Road" system.

  2. Her medical school scholarship was probably paid for by the CCP. So she has to be selective with her words.

  3. The Mainland Chinese people are racist within their own provinces. There were clashes with their own police from both Wuhan and Hubei regions recently. They were right next to each other. There is something people have to know about the Mainland Chinese inside the PRC. They are best at infighting against each other!

  4. The problem is that many were doing exactly so when the housing market were much cooler at Shenzhen just before the Takeover. Since then, many places there are rising even at a much quicker rate than Hong Kong. In particular to the cost of basic living like food are finding places that are cheaper in Hong Kong than Shenzhen. Furthermore, they do not have direct high speed train like many other cities in North America where they can commute efficiently over long distances. Besides, there are still a lot of economical and cultural differences between Hong Kong and other places further up from Shenzhen. But sooner or later, the skyrocketing costs of living and real estate ownership will drive Hong Kongers not only outwards to rural areas in Guangdong. But to other places like Taiwan or Malaysia to escape the stifling control of Beijing altogether. Hong Kong and Macau are the most ideal places for rich Mainlanders to money laundering their wealth without moving all the way to California, Vancouver or Toronto. Most of those places are also experiencing the same housing bubbles because of them.

  5. They never did, never do and never will. Humans to them is expendable. Do you think they will care for endangered species like the pink dolphins?

  6.  @madsam0320  Pollutions around the world, illegal plundering fish stock in West Africa, South East Asia, all the way in Peru and Argentina, including the World Environmental and Heritage Preservation area at the Galapagos Islands. Plus depleting forest and minerals from the West Asian former Soviet States, Africa, Latin America and so on. Are you for real? CCP made its conservation as a show-me propaganda extravagant media events. Nothing more. The 'Panda Diplomacy' was, is, will always be loaning a few panda to wealthy countries so they can take care of the breeding, health and maintenance costs from them and nothing up front from Beijing. All to show as part of diplomacy to the West. We still see illegal poaching and exotic wild animals being hunted for their meats and organs for oriental medicinal use. From Myanmar, Africa and beyond, these type of inhumane and illegal trafficking still continues. Moreover, the PRC are still building coal-powered plants and their renewable energy projects are nothing more than charades. Look at the power outage all over the PRC now because of the import ban of Australian Coal. Who is being ignorant now?

  7. She is very experienced as she was an Anchor for CNN prior to coming to Doha.

  8. Yes, it is. But the poverty gap comparing the poor rural parts to the few rich coastal cities. You can see where the problem is. Also most of the wealthy are in fact the members of the CCP and few of their close associates.

  12. Tam Yiu-Chung is a typical low life Pro-CCP scumbag. He is extremely critical with anything regarding Freedom, Democracy and Civil Liberty and siding with the asinine Beijing regime. Yet, he did his post-secondary studies in Australia and the UK respectively. With both his sons legalized Australian citizens and one of them in the immigration services providing safe passages to the PRC Locusts over there. This is the CCP in a nutshell. The HKSAR CE Election only has one chosen candidate vetted and vouched by the CCP, then a sham selection process by a group of 1,620 Pro-CCP business leader delegates putting their rubber stamps of approval. Finally, a very predictable result of Lee winning by a landslide, would be the next day's Propaganda Front Page breaking news item. The scary thing is this: And THEY CALL THIS 'DEMOCRACY'! If we don't stop the CCP, this sham would repeat itself all over the world. "Today's Hong Kong. Tomorrow the World." "BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!!!!!" DO SOMETHING NOW OR FOREVER HOLDING YOUR SILENCE FOR REGRETING NOT DOING ANYTHING!!!!!

  15. The CCP have AI cameras all over and probably could spot who would had done that. If no one voted, then their heads along with the family, would all rolled around in the future. The CCP make "People Disappearing" as a very efficient and effective art form. If not, how come they killed more than 600 Million already since 1921?
