No need to sensationalize. Even often scorned mainstream media do not do such things. Just to stick to rationality & facts.
The legality of Casino operations were hotly debated in the 2000s, & after much deliberation, the first operational casino was in 2010.
China GDP growth only accelerated in 2007 at 14%+.
Thus the TARGET AUDIENCE for our Casinos had never been China citizens. That they visit our casinos, are only bonuses. We, along with our much hard worked Tourist attractions & way of life, attracts NOT just the China citizens, but 7 Billion Humankind.
At most, only 0.1% of China population is rich. And they do not get rich by being spendthrift, but by savings. The rest, whom may venture to gambling, have only little to spend in our Casinos, compared to a higher percentage from 7 Billion Humankind whom will spend on gambling.
Ultimately, gambling is unhealthy. For those, local or foreigners, whom wish to gamble, may they gamble with WHAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO LOSE, as each turn of a card on the tables may not be a winning hand.
It is also for those whom find life boring & needs excitement - to challenge fate, & such is better than to create chaos in society, hurt & harm to others as what they win or lose - are only their own hard earned funds & not lives, if they are sensible enough NOT to borrow money for their gambling habits and also to hurt no one, even their own loved ones...
Thus for our Casinos to close.....wait long long...
