It's called the Navy. Pay is sub-par. Promotions are primarily time based rather than merit based. However you'd best toe the party line. If you don't parrot the platform, you will be stuck in the lower worker caste. But even then it's okay because nearly all of your creature comforts are met by the government. Amiright komrades?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75709954 China 10/17/2017 11:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nah. It's not communism. It was established, built, and run by the Brits, and the land release policies put in place by the Brits are still in effect (i.e. there's relatively little space, but the Brits set aside large green belts). So it's had a double-edged sword effect; and the population hasn't increased much in recent years. It's run under a 'one country, two systems' approach. Not communist, but what you see there is simply a result of supply and demand; it's a great place to do business, low taxes, but high wages, so some people put up with this shit. For many of those people, if they just crossed the border into the mainland, they'd get a place 20-30 times the size (i.e. a relatively normal apartment) for the same price. But the benefits outweigh the circumstances for some. |

It might be getting worse more recently because of increasingly higher rents, but the pictures you see are nothing new. |
