    He's assuming the rule of law still matters in HK. Clearly with this latest action, it does not. They can arrest you for anything under the NSL.

    my understanding as well - they still could stop it. However ... Merkel, the Germans and the EU have other pressing issues - surely won’t care too much about HK and the 50 + fellas today !

    He was the chosen successor of Charles Mok, who was very much a leader of the moderate pro-dems...

Unlike us gweilos who must have their say in anything, most locals tend to only care about making money and surviving, that's how it always has been.
    are you or other gweilos ready to leave this city ASAP? or instead keep making money here while you can?
