Hong Kong's housing problem - Remember Hong Kong was under British rule for more than 150 years!

 Remember that Hong Kong was under British rule for more than 150 years, from 1841 until 1997. The root of all these overcrowded housing was never addressed during those one and a half century. The Brits Administration, the big banks, business houses and property speculators were preoccupied with making money in Hong Kong, not lifting people out of poverty. Who is now talking about inequality or irresponsibility?

China is supposed to let Hong Kong have its own way for 50 years after 1997 and is in no position to interfere in Hong Kong other than security issues. Hong Kong still belongs to China and security is paramount. If lifting poverty comes into the picture after 1997, doing that is going to result in accusations of human rights abuses, such as forcing Hong Kong citizens to vacate areas for redevelopment to tackle the issues.

Talking about responsibility, what about discussing about those tents lying along the streets of USA cities? Homelessness is even more of an inequality and irresponsibility of the Government than having crammed spaces. Why isn't Channel News America picking on the irresponsibility of the USA Government to tackle the issue? Why are the MSM not talking about the genocides in Gaza, the genocides in North America, the fake love of the Muslims in Xinjiang and the real love of the Muslims in Gaza by the USA's double standard of interpretation. Hypocrisy?
