Pig Latin?? Salon haircuts and Super cuts are two different classes of Westernization ~
Think of it like the USSR - what started out as a civil war between Russian (Eastern) factions over Western ideology morphed into an international empire with very little connection to the common Russian or affinity for Russian civilization. Talk to some of these corporate C-Suite people and you'll get it. Also look at who works for them.

It's like the Chinese couple from Shanghai who bought a house in my neighborhood and rented it to drug dealers - Sinocization of my neighborhood or mid-level CCP grifters trying to protect their ill-gotten wealth? I suppose it's a matter of perspective.

Money is obviously more important than culture - more condos for rich mainland folks, locals will be priced off the island.

They already know this unbuilt housing is not intended for them.
i tried to pay attention and be an informed voter this election cycle looking at the local races and looking up who was getting $$ from where in their campaign contributions. its pretty sad when you see a lot of real estate, construction and mainland interests lining these guys pockets. seemed like whoever has the most campaign $$, vote for their opponent. unfortunately whoever has the most campaign $$ will usually win and the non stop overuse/overdevelopment cycle never ends

Gentrifying and bulldozing.
