Speaking of Hong Kong, what impact is this outbreak having on the conflict with Beijing?
- ksec 7y agoThe "normal" stuff, HK Government continues to give benefits to all Mainland Chinese, sending all the Face Mask reserve to China instead of giving it to Hong Kong people, ( Or only giving it to its own supporter in HK), refuse to shut its border with China. Basically adding more fuel to the fire.
- Stevvo 7y agoThe protests died out as soon as the as outbreak started. Protesters avoid congregating to avoid transmission, and the news cycle has moved on. Carrie Lam must be breathing a sigh of relief.
- germainelol 7y agoQuite the opposite regarding Carrie Lam. There is a lot of anger towards the government over how they are handling the virus, specifically the insufficient mask supplies and not closing the border with China. Even the pro-Beijing supporters are angry with the government, and pro-Beijing parties are criticising the government in order to gain support in time for the September LegCo elections.
- ksec 7y agoExactly, but somehow my post below gets two downvote. I wonder why.
- Proven 7y agoIt's making it worse because the China-appointed leadership of Hong Kong continues to allow flights from China, risking lives to please the CCP. Medical personnel going on strike this week.
