Beijing Games gets boost from Hong Kong tycoon


HONG KONG: Hong Kong's and Asia's richest man Li Ka-shing donated HK$100mil (US$12.8mil) to the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the city's top Communist Party official promptly declared him a patriot, local media reported yesterday. 

Newspapers ran a photo of Li's son, Victor, handing over a mock check made out to Beijing's National Swimming Centre to Beijing Mayor Wang Qishan in Beijing on Saturday.
