It’s hard to compete in that market because the Police already has that handled TIT

Thought the government wanted Chinese people here to spend money, now they arrest them?

Illegal gambling had never been closed down because of the police. It just gets moved to another building.

An interesting situation. How many similar places do we not know about yet? By the way, the idea that such establishments are not closed, but simply moved to another location is quite interesting.
