Gordon Wu, chairman of Hopewell Holdings Ltd (Hong Kong), suggested people dissatisfied with Hong Kong government should emmigrate to other country.
This is very dissapointing coming from a well-educated businessman like Mr. Wu, who received his education from Princeton University in U.S.A., one of the most dedicated advocates of democracy.
And this comment is not even original. His fellow tycoon, Vincent Lo of the Shui On Group, said something similar last month.
Don't they know that most people in Hong Kong are not as rich as them and could not easily emigrate to other countries?
They should remember Hong Kong is not like one of their private property. Pro-democracy people are allowed to live there as well.

Well, turns out I'm not their only critic.
Quoted from Hong Kong Standard:
"...an interview Albert Cheng [famous Hong Kong political analyst and radio host] gave to the Ming Pao Magazine...
In the article, Cheng accused several prominent local business figures of criticising the efforts of pro-democrats to further political development in Hong Kong.
One of these businessmen is Vincent Lo - the chairman of the Business and Professionals' Federation of Hong Kong and chairman of Shui On Holdings - who has been quoted as saying that those who hate the central authorities should not live in China. Cheng also accused Gordon Wu, the chairman of Hopewell Holdings and a graduate of Princeton University in the United States, for wasting the precious knowledge he had gained while studying in a democratic country."
