far from perfect. though developed earlier than lots other

Asian countries. Don't see huge potential there.

lack of innovation, try to put things in 1 single module. no matter housing, education or politics, pros and cons.

pretty narrow minded, not surprised if growing up and thinking in small scale all the time.

tried to copy Swiss or London model, now being hit badly, negative 2 quarters GDP growth already, 1 of the earliest into recession in Asia.

real aggressive in terms of loosing regulation for hedge fund registration, to compete against HK; and buildup casimo/conference catering business, to compete against Macau. now have to face downside from both sides.

anyway, its relatively easier to manage a city than manage a big country. that is 1 of its advantages.
