Hong Kong reopens after violent weekend of clashes and protests

(1) When it is not effective to stop the violent protests by anti-Beijing protestors - situation will change for the worst - as those who oppose the violent protests will take actions into their own hands and attack the anti-Beijing protestors.
(2) We can see this happening now - and soon HK will slowly go out of control --- where no one feel safe going onto the street.
(3) The only way to wrestle back control and restore law and order --- is to declare "Emergency Order" - to halt all form of protests, political movement on the street --- before any meaningful peaceful dialogue, healing and useful policies can take place.

By Sunday evening, the running battles between anti-government protesters and police had spilled into street brawls between rival groups in the districts of Fortress Hill and North Point further east on Hong Kong island, where men in white T-shirts, believed to be pro-Beijing supporters, some wielding hammers, rods and knives, clashed with anti-government activists.
Hong Kong media reported that groups of pro-Beijing supporters had attacked journalists.

(1) Only "Emergency Order" - can restore law and order --- and not let "jungle law" take over.

(1) By procastinating and not taking effective measures to stop violent, there are serious consequences :-
- mental health effect on the whole city state will take a toll.
- HK economy on all sectors will be badly affected - and already shrinking economic data has show many sectors perform badly.
- more public infrastructure are vandalised that will cause public service to deteriorate and more public finances are wasted to restore damage public property.
- more people will get hurt - when jungle law take over.
- hatred and ill-feelings will grow as violent protest linger on that will lead to more undesirable outcome.
- investors will start to leave and there will be more job loss.
(2) Thus the strategy to "let the violent protest die out by itself" --- apparently is not working - as the fundamental root causes are not addressed.
(3) The only useful way to address the violent protests are :-
a. Restore peace, law and order on the street - by declaring "Emergency Order" to stop all political movement on the street. Get all students back to schools, workers back to work.
b. Engage in real meaningful dialogues with the HK people.
c. Seriously address the "bread and butter" issues of the HK people, specifically :-
- Address the housing needs - come out with master plan to build affordable public housing for HK people.
- Address the job prospects of HK people.
- Address affordable healthcare.
- Address affordable education.
- Build enough social spaces and interaction for HK people.
(4) These will be the only way to calm the situation in HK and deter people from coming out to the street.
