Not sure about HK politics, but in the US it's always the tax-payers that end up footing the bill (i.e. money coming out of Government tax revenues, General Fund.) Of course, the argument is that such improvements will bring great commerce to the city, and the residents will eventually benefit when foreign pax come to Hong Kong to live, eat, and spend. And in HKIA's case, I tend to agree.
