    I would have thought people meeting those criteria could pick and choose where they went anyway

    Fucking fintech

    Dumbass scheme where nobody will meet the criteria. Also, why include lawyers? Just don't get it. It's already pretty easy for lawyers to come over here on a work visa. Under this scheme presumably they will need to get law society approval if they want to practice in HK, which unless you are employed by a firm is a total pain in the arse.

    Usual bollocks scheme by our useless government.

    I thought this was going to be a thread about political leadership.

    Life can certainly be better in HK if you're coming in from a ton of countries with high unemployment, political instability etc.

    Look at whats happening in Argentina for the last few days.

    lets see:
    - low income tax
    - expensive exotic food that tastes bad
    - small efficient apartments. Who needs space?
    - well mannered people
    - chance to see people using luggage for shopping
    - the slowest zombie walkers in the world
    - epic air pollution
    - chance to develop skin problems
    - hiking
