Is Hong Kong falling?

I just read somewhere else about how Chinese influence on Hong Kong is growing fast.

Retiring police men or state workers are getting replaced by Bejing signature...

Hong Kong TV is force to play the Chinese anthem several times a day, Television shows about how wonderfull life was during the cultural revolution...

Mandarin getting pushed as first language..... Cutting of subsidies if they don't...



Would be sad to see this trend take higher gear no, Hong Kong just becoming part of China...

Hong Kong is awesome. The best city in the East. I like Singapoore too.

Yes, I regularly see fake / pushed "Letters to the Editor" in the SCMP (South China Morning Post, a newspaper) which beat the drum about how the sun is setting on the West, how Obama is flailing to save his country, while the one-party system and associated "harmony" in China is working much better. The daily Editorial in "The Standard" is a pathetic shmooze-fest; the Editor almost always sides with The Party in any debate, local, national, or international. Conclusion : The thought policing via media control has started and the volume is right now at a level of 3 out of 10 (IMHO).

Personal opinion : Beijing will let things (inflation, esp. home prices) get worse in Hong Kong before they step in and make things better. This will serve as the "carrot" part of the carrot and stick strategy.
