yeah dude, landlords and company directors famously have no power in hong kong
There were also a group of men (landlords and company directors) who had a good laugh by burning an effigy of Grenfell, and I can't imagine that in China these men would continue to live upper middle-class lives. People genuinely get 'cancelled' there, and sometimes that's for the best.

I’ve been monitoring online discussions from Hong Kong about why HKers consider blaming bamboo scaffolding is a gov spin, and I think many AUS media have got it WRONG.
They think it’s a spin NOT because they see bamboo scaffolding as a tradition that distinguishes HK from China.

Having spent the past couple days marveling at and being inspired by the organic response of so many in HK to the tragedy at Wang Fuk Court, I came back to this passage from Václav Havel's "The Power of the Powerless":

The news that’s been coming out of Tai Po the past couple days—including the foreign domestic workers among the dead, injured, and missing—has me thinking a lot today about a particular painting by HK artist Yeung Tong Lung.

I have also spoken to a journalist that lives in the neighborhood and he has confirmed that the government "care teams" have started taking over relief centers, kicking out volunteers and taking over supplies donated by the general public.

Construction sites all over the city are hastily removing the safety nets. Just shows you how rampant this corrupt behaviour has been - and how little oversight there is.
