another year, another march. This year most of the controversy is about the declined number of marcher--from 500 000 of last year to less than 50 000 this year.
Does that mean Hong Kong people has give up their fight for democracy? no. But it does show Hong Kong people is facing a steep hill to climb.
In the chess game of PRC Government vs HK people, HK people won (unexpectedly) the previous two round with two massive 1st July march. However PRC Government is not a lame duck--they do not tolerate losing. They utilise their political power and replace Tung Chee-wah in a surprise move. Put Mr. Tung on the post is probably the greatest mistake PRC has committed so far, and they certainly learn from it. Dull face Mr. Tung is not even a politician. He has no idea how to run a city as complex as Hong Kong--no wonder he was so unpopular.
Hong Kong sufferred under Tung Chee-wah as he is stupid. But the next in line is even more dangerous--Donald 'bow tie' Tsang, the slick civil servant who spend decades serving the colonial government.
