HK Government just doesn't get it
Watching HK basically collapse into "failed state" status. You can condemn the antics of the protestors all you want (and certainly firebombing MTR cars and setting people on fire isn't going to help their cause!), but the REAL problem is a government (small 'g') that is wholly incapable of representing the severe anxieties and fears of over a million + under 25 year olds who have conclusively decided that they don't want to be subsumed by a totalitarian nightmare state such as China, and resent (deeply) the fact that all the wealth in HK has been effectively stolen by a small number of families and their political allies. If that isn't addressed, then HK will continue to burn, and it WILL get worse. What have the young got to lose at this point? It's time for CL to go, and for Beijing to take a step back from the precipice. HK will ALWAYS be a part of China that expects much more than the mainland, and it will now obviously risk dying to make that point. Either the govt. and Beijing come to recognise that fact, or they will be subsumed in a conflagration that will be of historic proportions.
nb: CX is certainly doomed in the current scenario, and any necessary change will arrive too late to save the airline or its employees.
