Just as I am about to declare the weekend open, a copy of LaDA Newsletter lands on my desk. That’s the Lantau Development Alliance, a private-sector group with much the same membership as the (I think subsequently formed) government-appointed advisory body. Their motto is that Lantau ‘has tremendous development potential’, which means ‘lots of places not covered with concrete and malls’. They have been on study tours of such grubby bits of the Pearl River Delta as Hengqin Island. They proclaim a desire to ‘establish career mobility pathways for youth from grassroots families’, where ‘career mobility’ means ‘minimum-wage’ and ‘pathways’ means ‘dish-washing jobs’. biglychee/blog/?p=12215
