The roast goose & fishball noodles is now in Sanchong now. Never forgotten what a friend of mine said back then. Once the British hand over HK back to China, its over.

China is forcing buildings to be taken down and redeveloped so they can keep the construction scams going. All the new buildings will be shoddy and unsafe. The construction scams were the main income source of the CCP. Without these scams, they have to take money directly from bank accounts and that makes it obvious so the CCP wants the construction scams back.

Yeah, Hong Kong lost a lot of it's old charms. Now, just like every other modern city, it looks bland and boring, with equally boring architecture. The mainland washing of Hong Kong pretty killed a lot of it's cultural heritage, and what made it distinct. I'm not saying moving with the times is a bad thing, but if it comes at the cost of what makes it unique, and you just have buildings that basically look like every other city in China, it doesn't feel special anymore. 90's Hong Kong was peak Hong Kong culture IMO, and it steadily got worse from there (especially the cinema, it sucks now).

Just prior to the handover in 1997, I was engaged in conversation with a senior local banker and he told me "you know they will make a mess of the place!" I was shocked because surely that's the last thing they wanted. He continued "the euphoria will disappear once people realise the changes that will come but it may take a decade. The CCP won't allow HK the kind of freedom currently enjoyed to flourish. The issue is potential impact across the border." Crumbs, how right he was 😢 He's retired and left HK for greener pastures elsewhere.

HK was a fabulous place to visit. Again and again, I went to HK and enjoyed every trip. After the ccp took over, the wonderful HK began to disappear. My last visit, post covid, was a shock. The HK I adored, was pretty much gone. Sadly, no more physical trips to HK, only memory trips.

The joke is on Landlords. By demanding twice the rent, they will now receive nothing. Who is going to rent after redevelopment? When these landlords fail, they should be encouraged to wear sandwich boards (signs) proclaiming their repentance.

Hong Kong Island and the tip of the Kowloon peninsula were ceded in perpetuity to the British Crown after the 1st Opium War, but the decision was taken long ago to cede the whole colony back to China in 1997 as the Chine has made it clear they'd just take Kowloon and the Island if they weren't handed back.

Real Estate devleopers China Evergrande and Country Garden have a total of $500 BILLION in debt alone. By the 4th quarter of this year, Country Garden will most likely be forced into bankruptcy like Evergrande. Construction workers in the real estate business make about 12% of the work force. Think of all the uneployment in China now in the construction industry. With so much oversupply, and no reason to build for the forseeable future and no reason to buy new propoerty, China will continue to shrink for the next decade. Look at all the Ghost Towns with some 30 million of unsold homes. We can see multiple years of deflation in China. It is that bad.

These shops close not directly because of the politics, but because of the business is bad here, rapid inflating cost (labor and rent), the strong USD, and the re-opening China border. The price difference across the border is just too high when you can buy similar products/services with less than half the price in China, and countries like Japan is absolutely cheap now. Ultimately you can say it's because of the China-US decoupling, and foreign capital fleeing HK, it's a tragic situation, HK need to find another way. Or China need to have 180 change on HK policy, which I don't think will happen under current leadership.
