(Some say this version of events is an untrue rumor.)
- FabHK 7y agoYeah, I'd love to see some independent verification of this story. It's lovely, ben trovato, but I have seen it only sourced to some dodgy WhatsApp groups or Facebook posts or so. It is certainly not inconceivable, and frankly, if it's true, the fact that Hogg doesn't go around and flaunt it makes me think even more highly of him. But I just don't know whether it's true.
- groundlogic 7y agoI'd think that he'd say something if it was false.
- FabHK 7y agoGood point. I'd have responded that it has never been reported "properly", but then, Newsweek, one should hope, is pretty proper. Let's see.
- alteria 7y agoIt's definitely something that many wish was true, which is why it's being spread so widely.
- groundlogic 7y agoThere's also no credible denial.
- hktruth 7y agoNo incentive for Hogg to deny it, makes him look good.
- groundlogic 7y agoHow about your Civil Aviation Administration making an official statement that it didn't ask Hogg for this list as a starter?
- dragonwriter 7y agoEven if they didn't, they might welcome the chilling effect that comes with the unconfirmed belief that they might have.
- metaphorical 7y agoWho is "some"?
- groundlogic 7y agoPeople loyal to the CCP.
- wendyshu 7y agoThe first hit on Google for "Rupert Hogg" gives a HK journalist claiming the story is a canard.
- groundlogic 7y agoJack Ma's and SCMP's neutrality is a bit up in the air at the moment, I feel. Last time I looked at that story it was just trying to sow doubt, without any evidence to the contrary. I'm sure you'd inform us in great detail if that had changed.
