As most of you seem to have concluded, HK as we have always known it is dead. I fear that the changes will now come thick and fast and even our rather shallow expat lifestyles will become more and more untenable, as the locals begin to fear their every word and association. Taking as a whole the significant reduction in incomes and lifestyle (for most of us) and the new oppression that is becoming more evident every day, HK cannot really be considered a "home" or CX a "career" any longer. A sad end to what has been a golden period of living and working in one of the worlds great cities. Beijing will surely bury that as they have millions of their own citizens over the decades...
