It is unimaginable that the Hong Kong, one of the busiest airports in the world is being held 'hostage' by protesters. This spells big trouble for Hong Kong. Wealthy HongKongers will take flight out of the country. Investors will flee to other safe havens. Many businessmen will not see Hong Kong as a safe and conducive place to do business. If the protesters continue to stranglehold Hong Kong's business artery and disrupting the economy , Hong Kong will be finished.
Fly out from Shenzhen.. still possible to get out.
Hong Kong will not be finished. Just the top 20% or so. The rest of the country will get to reset to whatever they want till '47.
Will calm and sanity prevail in Hong Kong ? The Hong Kong leaders need to come out to speak to the protesters instead of keeping quiet.
What the protesters do is not helping Hong Kong. They are bringing Hong Kong down economically and inevitably bringing China into direct engagement. The protesters need to awaken to the fact that there is no turning back from the deal of Hong Kong's return to China in 2047. What they should expect,instead of a break away from China, is a compelling vision of Hong Kong's future under China's rule and that where the current Hong Kong leadership has failed to communicate.
Not me. I am a machine, a micromachine. I will be here for many more centuries to come
China calls on Hong Kong public to “stop the violence.”
China’s state-run media denounced the resurgence of unrest in Hong Kong, portraying the demonstrators as lawless and warning that Beijing would not tolerate a descent into chaos.
The People’s Daily, the flagship newspaper of the ruling Communist Party, on Monday recited a long list of supposed offenses committed by the protesters, including insulting the Chinese flag — an apparent reference to protesters who threw a Chinese flag into the harbor on Saturday.
The newspaper called on the Hong Kong public to rally behind the local police and to “stop the violence,” saying the protesters wanted to end the “one country, two systems” arrangement that has governed the territory since its handover to mainland China in 1997.
“They simply want to push Hong Kong into chaos,” the editorial said of the protesters.
The Global Times, a hawkish tabloid, also raised the possibility of intervention by the mainland authorities in Hong Kong, a position embraced by some Chinese nationalists.
“The central government will not allow the complete fall of the rule of law in Hong Kong,” the newspaper said in an editorial on Sunday. “A few mobs can confuse Hong Kong for a while, but they absolutely cannot overthrow the order of Hong Kong completely.”

If China intervenes, it will be bloody. China knows that there cannot be a repeat of Tiananmen. Not anymore...and definitely not in Hong Kong. The world is watching how China will respond.
I hope the Hong Kong Leaders will come out to speak to the protesters and resolve to help them find solutions to their grievances. Protesters must understand that Hong Kong is now "one country, 2 systems" ... not one Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Leaders , however, should ensure that the Hong Kong system is on par with the other system, not inferior. There is the best way forward for Hong Kong.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
General never die.....
I urge the PLA to stop cowering behind the basic law and emerge to restore peace and order. They need to show who is the boss. When is the PLA going to come out ?
Sunday Times carried a good editorial by Han Fook Kwang - Lessons from Hong Kong ? Look beyond street violence

The really important issues relevant for Singaporeans observing what is taking place and trying to draw some lessons, if any, have to do with strategic decisions that were taken or not taken since Hong Kong 's handover to China more than 20 years ago.
Hong Kong missed several golden opportunities to do so to position itself economically and politically within the fast evolving China growth story.
It misses diversifying the economy - failing for example to take advantage of the digital revolution that would soon transform the business world. Instead it continued to focus on the financial and property sectors.
It failed to stop its manufacturing industries from relocating almost wholesale to neighbouring Shenzhen. More significantly, Shenzhen pushed ahead into technology so successfully it is now referred to as China's Silicon Valley, home to household names like Huawei and Tencent.
Amid all these, Hong Kong missed the opportunity to solve its housing problem for the masses. This failure has been said to be one of the underlying causes of discontent among young people.
Perhaps the most critical missed opportunity was to better define and deepen Hong Kong's economics and political relationship with China within the "one country, two systems" framework.
This was a lost opportunity of leadership and vision, on both sides.
How is all this relevant here ?
My point is that small states and cities are subject to shifting global and regional forces and have to make the best of them. They have to make the right strategic decisions by being clear headed about their place in the world and far sighted with their plans and policies for getting there.
The world has changed since the turn of the millenium , in rapid and unpredictable ways. Thailand, Indonesian and Vietnam are developing rapidly creating economic challenges for Singapore.
The geopolitical tension between China and US will test Singapore 's ability to manage its relationship between the two powers and with its Asean neighbours.
Singapore' s own population is changing, with the younger ones different in outlook and attitudes from their parents.
Will Singapore make the right strategic decisions in response to these changes ?
Hong Kong 's tribulations should serve as a wake up call that success can lead quickly to failure when a people and leaders fail to recognize and respond effectively to changed circumstances.
