Mass building of HDB before 1997 was planning for possible mass exodus of Hongkees feared of political changed. Gult of many empty unoccupied HDB in Woodland stood still for few years.

Finally, sardines are arriving.

All together, HUAT argh !

Well, Hong Kong 's loss is Singapore 's gain. It is evident in the last few months, our luxury property market has benefited from the influx of wealthy HongKongers.

Fears of A ‘Color Revolution’
On the mainland, pundits have warned that Hong Kong is on the brink of disaster. State-run newspapers have called on the public to help protect China’s sovereignty. Prominent officials have blamed American diplomats for working as “black hands” intent on fomenting an uprising.

Beijing once worked diligently to keep word of the Hong Kong protests from reaching the mainland, perhaps fearing the unrest could spread. But in recent days, Mr. Xi’s government has led an all-out effort to discredit the protesters.

The sudden shift reflects deepening concern within the party that it is facing a secessionist threat that could undermine Mr. Xi’s hard-line image.

It poses a delicate challenge. Mr. Xi, who has led a broad crackdown on dissent, does not want to be perceived as yielding to the party’s foes. Yet he is likely wary of taking drastic action, such as deploying troops, for fear of a broader fallout.
Such moves could energize his critics, including pro-independence forces in Taiwan, a self-ruling island that China claims as its own. Hong Kong has long served as China’s entree into the global financial system and a symbol of the Communist Party’s ability to work with free-market societies; an overreaction might alienate big companies and imperil the territory’s economy.

“Anything too dramatic is going to be quite a high cost. It will be called Tiananmen 2.0, and they don’t want that kind of reputational hit,” said Kerry Brown, a professor of Chinese politics at King’s College London, referring to Beijing’s bloody crackdown on protesters at Tiananmen Square in 1989.

For the moment, Mr. Xi’s strategy appears to be to throw the government’s support behind Mrs. Lam and the police while blaming the United States for sowing strife.


------

No one wish the worst should happen, but China will shoot if the situation gets out of control. This is the way that they have always known that has worked. Rebellion must be crushed. The Communist ideology must be upheld at all cost. That is their DNA. The communist ideology runs deep in their blood.

I salute the hongkies!
I always thot they were pragmatic materialistic people. Seems they got balls unlike daft sinkies

So what do you want? For Sinkies to protest until the country sinks and we all become losers like you?

 

[Wunderfool]

We have to thank LKY and his generation for having foresight. That is when we broke away from Malaysia, it is a real independence, not a "one country , 2 systems" model.

It is not going to end anytime soon...


Anti-government protesters have returned to Hong Kong International Airport and flooded its departures hall in a bid to paralyse one of the world’s busiest aviation hubs for the second consecutive day.
Hundreds of demonstrators were occupying the area around the check-in aisles from about 2.30pm, before they made their way towards departure gates in an escalation of their protest.

In a sign of fraying tempers among the travelling public, a woman was seen trying to break through protester lines, shouting “I want to go home”. Her passage was blocked by protesters, before airport staff stepped in.

More than 300 flights were cancelled on Tuesday at Hong Kong International Airport as part of the fallout from Monday’s chaos.

 

[Leongsam]

I'm on the side of China in this dispute.

Democracy is not for the Chinese. They are too selfish as a race to be able to operate and thrive in a democratic system.

Chinese have to be ruled with an iron fist and knuckle dusters. There is no other way.

 

[tanwahtiu]

China need to hv poor Chinese, HK just come in unprecdently to fill the gap. Honkies just nailed himself call Ah Chan of China...

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 ?

Soon, after Winnie finish his current pot honey.

The protesters are out to disrupt Hong Kong 's economy by stranding the Hong Kong airport.

I sympathize their cause, but what they are doing is not helping their cause. If they are for Hong Kong, they should not target the airport for their demonstrations. They can demonstrate on the streets or march to the legislative council. Their leaders should call for a meeting with Carrie Lam, Hong Kong chief executive to come to a compromise and decision on how to move forward without bloodshed.

It is Tiananmen Square all over again. The young people who have no clue what they are doing will be dealt with summarily.

The question is what happens after that? My guess is martial law. Curfews. Crackdowns. And no more 2 systems.

Very true... the way the protesters are approaching the whole thing is inciting China to act out Tiananmen 2.0. These people have no idea of what it means to govern a country... they are so naive ... swayed by their fancy notion of democracy and freedom.

It is mob mentality. It's a bit like parenting. If you let your kids run all over with no discipline, do not communicate to them the consequences of irresponsible behaviors you will get chaos at home.

This is what is happening in Hong Kong. There are two lines of thought. One is that Carrie Lam has mismanaged and is too soft. The other is that she is acting under orders from the CCP to let Hong Kong be over run by the protestors so that China can have a reason to come in to take more control of Hong Kong.

I believe it is the latter. No one can be so stupid to allow the city to descend into utter chaos like that.

Look at France. I think the yellow vests were even more fierce. But France still dealt with it.

There is more than meets the eye with HK.
