As was mentioned, Singapore has been filling in the ocean to create new land for decades, and is continuing to do so. The whole area where the Marina Bay Sands is located (building that looks like it has a cruise ship on top) was created pretty recently.

Boston, NYC, San Francisco have all created new land via filling in the bays and oceans they sit on. Perhaps that might not be allowed to happen much anymore, but given the prevalence of this practice in the past, I would hardly call what Hong Kong is doing 'ground breaking'.
