This disgraceful state of affairs is quite common on the Chinese mainland, and Hong Kong, though a differnt entity from the mainland of China, is still Chinese- governed, after all!

Silverboy has said it, and I will also say it, HK is going downhill. A HK guy I know has moved to Macau, because he hates the way HK is going, and a lot of HK'ers I spoke to when I was there, resented the recent placement of leung as the governor. It won't even take until 2047 for it to become a part of guangdong or a province outright, perhaps only 10 years.
