    I think the headline is somewhat misleading - here is the relevant quote:

    Asked whether Hong Kong should focus on reopening with the mainland ahead of the rest of the world, Lo said relevant data needed to be considered first before deciding.
    “Opening the border with the mainland and the rest of the world is a livelihood and economic issue, and also an issue that impacts different families. We will do our best,” he added.

    The communists this morning decided to retreat to one of the four freedom parks in Manila where you can protest to your heart's content without a permit. Where is the freedom park in Hong Kong?

    So the peoples revolution is delayed again.

    Well, that’s the end of an era; Hong Kong is not only a police state, but a Chinese police state proper:

    Grandma Wong gets 8 months for waving a flag, 75 year-old Koo gets 9 months for attempting a protest outside China HQ in HK against the Olympics (sedition).

    Glad these two criminals are off the street, everyone can feel much safer now...
