Enjoy No. 1 While it Lasts: Funny the EFW Index rankings came out now. Just as Hong Kong is rallying against (and sort of doing a good job of it) the Mainland's "Anti-Subversion Law" which can result in death penalties for speaking one's mind. I think that China realizes that it has to treat Hong Kong differently; and it should. First, the island has grown rather used to this capitalism thingy. Moreover, if China wants a constant flow of funds for dam projects, it better keep HK happy. Still, you imagine the Party bigwigs can't be too happy with the freewheeeling going on over there. The question is whether and when the Big Red Machine will do anything definitive about it.
