Meanwhile in Hong Kong:

Sadly it seems like the pigeons released in 1997 have come home to roost, Beijing has been increasing its stranglehold over Hong Kong and now it's come to breaking point for the citizens of the city who consider themselves autonomous of Beijing.
Naturally, the PRC has activated the Great Firewall so there's not much chance of it spreading beyond Hong Kong, but the next few days will be telling for the future of the city and its inhabitants, and most importantly for Beijing, the trade generated from it.
