However, it was a victimless crime. Taking away land/screwing over farmers in order to build a golf course - that's your winner right there. That was a good one, yeah.

I am not sure these type of challenges are limited strictly to China. Stan,

Who cares if private developers are building golf courses, as long as they are not doing it corruptly or stealing land. Golf is a time consuming leisure activity, and I really don't know how much time rich people will give up to play golf, when there are other activities like, you know, making money. If the developers end up overbuilding and going bankrupt, well such is life. This sounds more like the guardian making a mountain out of a ant hill based on a tiny sliver of data.
