The Google/Alphabet distinction is nit-picky, but the fact that the site may have intended to be used differently and is not even close to a public launch is surely the more important news.

I'm not sure what the latter is based on. Up to 5m people may have left Wuhan before the city was locked down. What's more is that Hong Kong has still not restricted travel, while offering free medical care to anyone. As a HKer, t

If you believe the CIA is behind this via Jimmy Lai and others, as many Mainlanders do, you should actually talk to some protestors. This is purely local.

We are anti-CCP because it is the CCP who has negotiated in bad faith, by agreeing to, and then not, allowing us to vote for our leaders. They have claimed there are 2 systems, yet they kidnap people in HK. They have said they were not behi

Those "rioters" appear to be undercover police. They're doing this to give the police plausible deniability. As a Hong Konger, the problem isn't that the cops are amateurs; it's that the police are currently terrori

They were arrested for last week's protest of approx. 1m people, not Sunday's. According to some estimates, the police injured 70+ people and arrested 11. It's pretty shocking for us HKers, as the police used to be trusted an

Definitely anti-establishment. I'm not saying I agree or disagree, but it's good to balance that out with multiple perspectives. SCMP used to be my paper of choice growing up, but it has started to become more pro-establishment of

Tom Grundy, the creator of HKFP, has an agenda (as do most news outlets). I balance HKFP with RTHK and Apple Daily (easier if you can read Cantonese). I don't trust blantantly pro-China outlets, like Sina.

I've given you examples which have nothing to do with "separatism", such as extradition and kidnapping, and you choose to ignore it. In another instance, a journalist was refused a visa because he chaired a panel. That's

The Chinese central government is not happy to let Hong Kong run itself. That's why Article 23 was pushed numerous times, as well the National Anthem Bill and the extradition law. They put their customs officials on Hong Kong territory

That's what an embargo is and why it exists. And when it's up, it's up. This is essentially a rehashing of the Microsoft/Google squabble a few months ago.
