Shopping in Hong Kong tip

Hong Kong has no sales tax, no GST, no VAT. That means all stores in Hong Kong are "duty free". No need to schlep to a Kowloon Bay industrial estate, nor to shop for whisky at the Airport "duty free".

Can anyone explain to me why Hong Kong has no consumer protection or competition laws?

Well, not quite. There is duty on alcohol and tobacco!
