Another case-in-point - the legislators in Hong Kong actually demanded some answers for the CX's "nationalization". But the Government refused, citing that the money does not come from the public budget. Thus no explanation is needed.

I remember the fund portrayed in Hong Kong shows, originally designed to avert financial crisis by increasing government spending without approval. Is it the same fund?

It is also why CX "bribed" certain legislators to form a better relationship.
