Hong Kong isn't in Japan

I am quite disappointed - not because of Lance my hero (biased alert!), but the article itself. The tone of the article is so negative, almost as if Lance is already convicted.

It’s more like a rigged game. 

Hong Kong is the textbook example of Milton Friedman’s free economy. The more money you have, the more power you have. Unfortunately no rich men in the town is batman / iron man.
