Hong Kong's summer of protests leaves economy bruised and battered

    now
    (1) When all the HK protestors realise that their parents run out of jobs, no jobs for them when they graduates ---- then they will realise their hue and cry of "5 political demands" - are useless demands that are not able to "put food onto their table".

    (2) The HK protestors are getting their demands wrong --- which they should focus on housing, jobs, healthcare, education, social spaces.

    Should one day the rioters found themselves unable to find jobs, do you think they could approach USA/ Britain/ Taiwan to give them jobs/ food/ housing/ MTR/ roads/ schools/ hospitals? Would they tell to to your face that you are now independent entity, this is what you thought you want - you go look after yourselves because that is what being independence is all about! Unless you want to be like the MANCHUS during the late Qing Dynasty which sold China out and which led to the Opium War and led to HK being leased to Britain as an OPIUM Den. Wouldn't the rioters feel humiliated if they are made to beg and being told off, "It is to make USA great again! And not to make HK great!"

      They say that if it rains and if you have no power to stop it, then let it rain until it stops when it runs out of water...LOL When the price of gold goes up, maybe it is going to stop...........LOL

    The trouble is, the very-shortsighted black-clad, black-mask rioters live in delusion. They thought that by creating arson, threatening and beating up ordinary HK citizens, they are liberating Hong Kong from oppression. In actual fact, they are the tyrannical oppressors of freedom in HK. They have suppressed the freedom of Hong Kong Police to do their job well to protect us by hurling petrol bombs to hurt the police; they bash up anyone who have a different opinion from them, hitting an old man at the airport; creating airport shutdown and beat up 2 mainland Chinese at the airport who had nothing to do with them or opposing them; they forced businesses to shut down which led to many innocent ordinary Hong Kongers to lose their jobs. So are they being democratic and even fair to 7.5 million Hong Kongers? All these misery that ordinary Hong Kongers suffer are because of these black-clad rioters' tactics and the rioters have the cheek to blame the SAR government!!!! I have a question for the rioters - do you think that by begging other countries to help you out politically or economically- they will indeed help you ?

      All this misery are brought about by Carrie Lam trying to transfer legislation & judicial body of HK into China. Don't mess up with the real issue. Mainlanders & Beijing Police have beaten up HK protesters in Wanchai & China with all the chaos that they've done !!! GLORY TO HONG KONG

    Ask hk govt./Beijing to compensate, they are responsible for people's discontent, they know it will cause economic pain yet they allowed it. Question remains, what they do next?

    What glory to Hong Kong when 7.5 million Hong Kongers suffer daily for more than 100 days of ridiculous riots and terrorism by these thugs? Didn't the thugs know that under the ONE country TWO systems framework, HK is guaranteed freedom for 50 years? Don't you think having freedom is a frivolous excuse when obviously Hong Kong is already the 3rd MOST FREE city in the world according to 2018 International Freedom Index?

    Business owners should not blame demonstrators but instead urge the Hongkong gov and Carrie Lam to apologise. That is the only way to solve this.

    Let HK burn to the ground so that there will be nothing left & reasons for Whites to continue to support the hooligans, rioters, arsonist, and vandals who should all be arrested and made to pay for all the damages made by them.
    If these frkers cannot pay, send them somewhere to "work" until all the debts are fully settle.

      You would hate every nation who supports the separate 2 System Policy in HK & would want to Carrie Lam to transfer legislative & judicial powers of HK to Empirialist China. No shot-gun wedding with Beijing & Glory to Hong Kong !!!!!

    It's obvious business corporate would sleep with Beijing politics for profit but they can never force HK for a shot-gun wedding with China.
