    While I loathe golf courses and am always happy to take the piss out of the “elites”, this feels like something more.

    This might just be the CCP flexing political power over Hong Kong in general, but I’d be curious to see what the primary motivation behind this decision was. Obviously it wasn’t building public housing, that’s just a good cover story with a positive side effect.

      That’s exactly what this is, a CCP flex, and it’s quite sad (though not at all unexpected) to see half the people in this thread applauding it.

        We don’t read the article, just the headline. And it allowed us to shit on rich people over a game that really doesn’t change much at all. That’s all we needed.
