CNN Article on Buying Food in HKG
Sequestered to a hotel with only BBC and the Communist News Network (CNN) to watch. Piece today on HKG citizens (Chinese not expats) avoiding buying food from mainland China due to safety issues. Some paying up to $40US for US Agriculture chicken to avoid getting chicken from mainland. Another factor to figure into everyone's COL in HKG.
