  1. Before in the past... like the 1970s and the 1980s... HK already had this "return to the manfacturer, and we will give you money for this"... like those glass bottles. Remember? Now that, they have these cartons... Same thing need to happen. But looking at this plant... This is a mere actual... basic manual plant. Surely.. with the composition of those cartons from several different materials combined. HK needs to really build a more sophisticated analyser already that detects the composition to be able to break it down properly and resell those individual components? SURELY..... the ENTIRE.... PRC has the precious metals for electronics... SURELY... it could create an actual plant of this calibre ?! Why should everything ALWAYS go to Singapore !!!! Chi sin !!!! There is more way to skin a single cat !!! Maybe he doesn't want to do that, cos it will be then controlled by the state's... that is why. But of course, you can definitely privately actually patent this as well.

  2. "State-owned enterprises".... Really? Don't they mean..."taken/stolen money from other citizens in another province"... kind of BS ? Yes, that is what it was !!! And it is WELL documented !!!!! Even the ex-employee of the World Bank SAY SO !!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Ree4Dtg2g&t=321s Other countries are also in debts.. but they stay within their own boundaries.. as well... So the point is to at least build slowly... and then be clever with the profits... Cos once people literally have experienced wealth, they don't want to let go. And this is quite harmful really isn't it ????.... And those notes about property as well.... Er....

  3. But when you say this... a lot of people in HK would and do feel offended as well though. Cos what they learnt... is not going to be used ? So there was that gap as well.. in between already created.. to the recreated... This is why in the UK... you do not teach the child, what you are already doing at work. You reverse and trick them that it is basic.. so then when they come to learn in work... There are SOPs that make them learn anyway ???... Cos they lock them down ? So.. where are the SOPs of these HK businesses then? How come... there is no continuous "mergers and acquisition" deals going on here? So how come... this small... businessman... is not going to be sold... and absorbed by that new company, who is going to be his competitor??? I find this situation rather odd. Don't you ???.... When you absorb a company, you can always still evaluate.. the assets and restructure it as well. So how come.. I don't see this kind of thing in HK any more? Why is there this numerous..."buy and sell land for the sake of"... situation? What the heck are people doing here ????....

  4. China is stuck because.. the smartest people that they need, they already have inside the company. So then.. outside the company. They don't have the knowledge or the creators? So it ends up top heavy. If this was the situation... what a "free market" like the USA would do.. is to kick out those people... and then those people enter the actual market.. and they create or demand from the manufacturers... products that they want. But because China is a closed, and tightly controlled "state-owned enterprises" as well.... This is what normally happens. They are kind of kowtowing, and somewhat blinded. This is why... they would always want overseas people... Cos they have better idea sometimes. But doing this... also invite social harassments from the locals too. Cos then, they don't even actually... they will resent the overseas' candidates in getting the job, but not themselves ???.... And by right, the teaching sector should focused on continually.. keep repeating the next 10 year's goals to the kids and the children.. but of course, forward planning is not a thing in China. Cos they plan bakcwards... mostly on the national level.. and not on the local level upwards. Some said that was what happened... but in reality... well... Now people are lost. Cos you cannot trump... the future.. by doing the everything now. And not earn to keep and to create a future? In some smart countries.. They will use the "wrong methods for 10 years to hold the forte"... only for the next turning point... the year 11... for the next generation to do. This is what other countries does. Of course.. China won't learn these kind of tricks...

  5. HK should not... cos if they need to find a way to debase, then they should. What really should happen is trickle down economics... So if Singaporeans do not move out of Singapore.. and stays there. Then it means that.. when your parents passes away... You can still use those savings.. for another future? And in a way.. if you study the potential model.. of the future... then check other countries. Like Europe. Which is that.. they then use a bond.. and also created mortgage products for around 100 years. 100-200 years. This is the same for Japan too. Yet.. so many Singaporeans are quite arrogant in general.. and make a lot of mistakes too... and risk the entire region also.... You should always keep an eye open for all knock on effects, and create potential paper solution... and activate them if you must. Japan is now doing the right thing in this lock down... those rural housing, that was overleveraged before, and went bankrupt... in this lockdown... cos people moved to the city for work... They now use their savings.. and repopulate back those rural houses again... and decoupled from the "salary man" ethos. The same is happening in the UK. We reduced the commuting.. cos we build the internet infrastructures.. Cos now.. we literally work from home. To reduce the energy costings. People need to know their own options. HK's real estates should have been decoupled from the mainland's.... I cannot believe the amount of debts and leverage that is occurring in the mainland as well.... Unbelievable. There used to be a Canton Bank as well.. is I understand it correctly.. that went under in the last financial crash.... Shouldn't China, or the PRC rebuild back a safety mechanism ???
