Sadly not an uncommon thing in HK.

I don’t see why. I’m certainly not offended by anything I’ve read so far. Different people have different views, some I agree with some i don’t.
I’m curious to find recent suicide data. It seems to me HK has stopped publishing since 2020. Given the last peak in 2003 intuitively it must have gone up again. Jumpers account for around 50 percent of suicides according to the last meaningful stats I could find, followed by hanging.
I’m not even sure whether the authorities have any idea of the true mental strain some people are currently under, whether financially, emotionally or otherwise
Global rates, but data appears to be from 2019. There’s probably a 1-2 year delay in getting data.
For 2019 HK has 12-13 deaths per 100,000 putting HK around 30-40. Korea is ranked 4th with 28.6 deaths per 100,000.

I didn't say this only happened in HK. But from everything I've been told and read, as I understand this was a bigger issue in the Cantonese media, the HK media was unhelpful in getting the public on board with the vaccination programme, leading to huge vaccination hesitancy particularly among the elderly, that simply wasn't an issue in many other countries. Not just the media's problem sure, the government's policies didn't help either.
