When Beijing’s top official for the city visited it in April, he did not meet the real estate developers association, which represents some of the richest families, raising questions over whether the interests of the wealthy clans are even a major concern to the top leadership.

Presumably questions such as "WTF?", "You do know what a communist is, right?", and "Have you recently been experiencing dizziness, eyesight problems, or weakness/numbness radiating from one side of your face, arms, or legs?"

refusing to even acknowledge real estate developers exist is so real of him wtf

I kinda wish they would have met with the developers and told them they were narcissistic douchebags with their days numbered.

I honestly thought you made up this quote to be ironic, only to find it's actually in the article. Orz

Inb4 "China is genociding golf courses!"

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

Send this to Ultras who think the current CPC is on the “capitalist road.” I’m wondering what the supposed environmental concerns were. I wouldn’t imagine golf courses are the most environmentally friendly. Don’t you need a bunch of herbicide to maintain the grass? Lawns are a huge waste of space. I’m assuming it’s just bourgeois cope.

Envsci major here: golf courses are the worst fucking thing in a city short of an oil well. Approximately 0% of the plants there are helpful or even remotely suited to the ecosystem (especially one like South China) and worth preserving, it's hostile to wildlife and pollinators, is toxic due to the excessive pesticide use, exacerbates soil erosion, and is generally a massive resource sink. Put some gardens with native flowering plants around those apartments or on the balconies, some native trees as well, and it'll be worlds better than a golf course. Not sure about this one but speaking generally, an urban neighborhood with high density housing can actually integrate into the ecosystem and be sustainable if managed right, far more than golf courses can at least.

Hong Kong is finally healing from British colonization.

I'm very excited/interested to see how the CPC tackles the housing problem in Hong Kong. This is a great development to see

But for what cost???

Nice. Never really was keen on golf, outside of its weird gimmick of "less strokes = more likely to win the competition", the comically large open courses aren't really helping since I kinda see them as wastes of open area.

It's a dumb sport for people who don't like sports, but who do like to spend a lot of money on gear.

This is my totally unbiased opinion.
