What's worse, there is also the possibility that the central government in Beijing will not look kindly on Google's... essentially trying to have its cake and eating it too. The article made a similar point at the end. Hong Kong is a part of China; it was made into a SAR so it's more free to do things, IMHO, but in the end, if Beijing wants and is willing to deal with the consequences, it can certainly enforce its will there.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.
