A humorous mystery series set in Hong Kong before the handover. 99cents for the first one an kindle:

“Among the gangsters and the goldsmiths of Hong Bay, Chief Inspector Feiffer and his police department had their hands full . . . tourist troubles, a US sailor turned stick-up artist, and the jealous Chinese who solved his marital difficulties with an axe.

Then the Mongolian with a kukri brought an extra touch of terror to the district . . .

Yellowthread Street brings to vivid life a seamy world where people called Osaka Oniki the Disemboweller, Shotgun Sen and The Chopper feel at home, a world of surreal possibility recorded with unique humour and a poignant sense of humanity.”

Could Gov. Abbott and Gov. DeSantis send a few thousand people?
One-way tickets only. I wonder if there is a Hong Kong version of Martha’s Vineyard.

The odds of winning are quite astronomical, but if you don’t buy a ticket the chances are zero.

I spent a week as a tourist in Hong Kong in 2012. It was a wonderful city to explore and enjoy.

Now I would not go, even with a free ticket.

That being said the Lefties in USA and Europe will jump at the chance for a free ticket.

These are the same Lefties that travel to Cuba because they think Communism is cool.

Don't doubt it. We had a number of key vendors in Hong Kong who suddenly relocated to Canada just before the handover. They have an easy peasy path to citzenship that takes only three years for the right amount of money.

Not all of them returned after the three years.
