The article references that SSM is still outlawed and may reflect cultural attitudes at play.
But some travel bloggers have alleged that has all the fingerprints of Beijing intervening.
Of course it's Beijing! I also heard they were behind the decision for McDonalds to charge HK$1 for each extra McNugget sauce.
People are way too sensitive - it's something called a business decision. MTR is a listed company and it's up to them to decide what's acceptable as advertisement (and they only have to be accountable to themselves and their clients).
