@pc007chan It's different. In HK, real estate, supermarket, electronic, internet cable services, public transportation and etc could all be owned by the same person. This never happens and will be illegal in USA.
The government has no way to deal with the worsening situation. Officials are willing to share powers with consortiums, because their resources and powers are more stronger and bigger that those of government. Officials will do everything to help big chains, because they are buddies. Laws and regulations are tailor-made to ensure their easiness of control. What the government cannot regulate, nobody is allowed to do.
The existence of Hong Kong was because of the embargo imposed on China since 1949, but Deng changed all these and made China strong again! Well, the people in Hong Kong has to face this reality. George Wu, ARCHITECT. A.I.A., NCARB 2018-11-5
