Hong Kong's High-Tech Technology Incubator

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the industrial-policy dept.

Austin Huggins writes "The BBC is reporting on a new hi-tech complex built in Hong Kong to attract tech businesses. 'It has taken four years to build and comes complete with a hi-tech hotel, apartments, shops and services.' And they have a 100 mbs network to boot." As the article points out, Hong Kong has a suddenly harder time keeping ahead of booming cities in mainland China.

    Why go there just for the bandwidth, when they can locate their factory in mainland China and enjoy the benefits of genuine slave labor.

    "The main focus currently is on creators, managers and deliverers of digital content, because that's where we see the big niche for Hong Kong going forward."

    So, basically what he's saying is that is a complex for creators of CGI Chop Socky?

    >There is a distinct qualitative difference between duplicating digital content for your own private use/entertainment and duplicating IP to create goods and services to sell.

    Agreed. One is a bunch of greedy individuals leeching off of the work of others for their own benefit and the other is bunch of greedy corporations leeching off of the work of others for their own benefit.

    You want to see a better system? Look at just about any country Europe, Canada, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, hell even PRC. I'll bitch plenty. I do resent paying one cent to a government that uses my labor to fund their atrocities. Fuck those fascist plutocrats and fuck their fraudulent system of governance.
