I think mrbigstuff probably meant Taiwan, rather than Hong Kong. Although, Hong Kong is having its own difficulties with the transition. They are accustomed to elections and local control of public policy there -- which is causing the Central Committee a certain amount of heartburn.
And hwystar, why aren't you reporting the good news about the economy? It is negativity like yours that is getting in the way of the next Gilded age. Why can't you just let the magnates, power brokers, and king makers at Bohemian Grove enjoy their naked owl-worshiping bacchanals. I mean, really, it isn't enough that you have 30 channels of news stories about disappeared white women, car chases, consumer electronics, celebrity break-ups, and kittens that "found a home" -- why do you want people to think about difficult stuff like the economy? Its all hard math and depressing statistics.
If you keep this up, you know what you get? A discontented rabble, instead of a thrifty (and compliant) working class.
In short, hwystar, why do you want the islamofacists to win?
