There's been a fair amount of to-do on HK's streets this past week or so, not as much as in Singapore*, but at least demonstrating political engagement rather than the usual grievances about how capitalism doesn't guarantee you'll get your money back.
If you were shown this photo of the future in 1996, would you believe it possible?
Probably yes, but I think you'd jump to some very different assumptions about just how Fascist China had decided to handle things from 1997 onward.
I don't think the old flag got this much play when it actually was the flag of Hong Kong Across town, a pro-China activist was ripping it up as the standard of traitors.
* The Guardian claimed "this kind of violence is unheard of in Singapore", which is, well... unheard of done to the cops, sure.
