Default Hong Kong Express; this takes the cake

This is insane. It made the front page of the business section in Hong Kong. The head of HKALPA was quoted as thinking it was a joke until he read it.

Basically, for anyone looking to to go to HKX, ever, I'd take a very good read of this nightmare.

Make sure you read the last line closely.
