Yes - that was the story I saw yesterday. I was quite appalled by it actually. Given we spend a lot of time on here talking about how long visas take to process, and the rules etc, and with one hand they just wave it away and rush them through with no checks. Just because they are RICH. What a terrible message to the community. You poor people have to demonstrate your skills, but the rich can just buy their way in. Makes a mockery of the whole visa system.
And why would HK want people who've shown such a low level of loyalty to their adopted homes? Surely, these are exactly the ones who will run first if another SARS or similar hits HK? What does that say about their character or the character of Donald to let them in!
