Is Hong Kong falling?

Quote from TigerBalm:

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.

You are right.

Most of us don't notice we have a lost decade already. Hong Kong was having second highest GDP per capita in Asia. Now, it is after Japan, Singapore, South Korea.

If we exclude the stocks from mainland china, Hang Seng index didn't go up for more than 10 years.
