Tämä on mediavaikuttamista, koska
By drawing a comparison between high pitch and high rent, readers immediately recognise the ridiculousness of how high the rent is in Hong Kong. It also associates the high rent with a crucial part of Chinese culture - Chinese opera, effectively denoting high rent to be a part of Hong Kong's culture, and further mocking the absurdity of it.

It is not harmful as it is delivered in a playful and humorous way, and does not reveal any new arguments. Hong Kong has long been associated with its unaffordable rent and land prices. Rather, by absurdly juxtaposing the two incomparable aspects, it presents the topic more lightheartedly and makes it easier to digest.
