Mainland Chinese visitors are not returning to Hong Kong as much as expected, with cities across the border adding to the competition for tourists.

      Which, surely, explains why tourism in the rest of the Bay Area is shooting up?

      While there is a political component to it, the real issue is that the HKD is too strong now and the cost of touristing in HK is very visible.

        The truth. And it is true of their leadership too.

        Not that I mind. Propagandized people make uninformed decisions, so I don’t even care to correct them.

            True. The US massacred tens of thousands in Afghanistan only to replace the Taliban with the Taliban, and it looks like it is preparing to do the same in Yemen.

            It is awful and unforgivable. But the US is weakening itself with every decades-long and losing invasion it starts.

                Winning isn’t measured by who kills the most innocents. Otherwise the US would have won in Vietnam. The US is evidently and clearly in decline despite its military might.

    A route back? I doubt China is willing to free Hong Kong just to save tourism.

      Hong Kong is a part of China. Always was, always will be Chinese land. The British Empire had failed, they stole the land but under Chinese might they ran away.

                That people who desire self determination should be able to have it, that they should not be expected to be ruled by whomever is most powerful and happens to be ethnically similar. I think states should be based on a shared history and philosophy rather than ethnically segregating them to suit China.
