Have you been to HK? The level of inequality there is staggering and the cost of living is much higher than most western countries, including things such as rent.

You think SV valley rents are bat shit crazy? Take a look at HK real estate listings.

That doesn't seem to be mainland/CCP's fault. The big real estate developers (the Lee, Kwoks families, etc) owns much of the properties. Why is mainland China the target for inequality and housing issue to blame? I have no stake in this fight, just curious.

No one blamed mainland here but I have a very strong suspicion that you have stake in this fight given that your entire 5 months comment history here is about China related topics.

I also notice that poster is really focused on only one of the two chinas.
