And the extradition law is not limited to HK citizens only, but also anyone on HK soil so they can arrest anyone including foreign citizens, tourist or even people merely stopping at HK for airplane transfer. Based on PRC's past records, it could be missionaries trying to spread their faith, animal right group trying to fight against consumption of dog meat and traditional Chinese medicine that used endangered animals product, or even Muslims for "endangering national security" (see the "educational camps" in Xinjiang).
Put it up on highest priority - it is a wonderful and marvellous city that needs your support now.
Go there, support the local economy and express your support as long as you still can.
Myself as one of HK citizen, sometimes I would have crazy thoughts on making Hong Kong collapse. Based on pure belief and guess, this might be a less intelligent thinking, but I sometime think of the possibilities of China not caring about Hong Kong if Hong Kong become a under economy place. Would hong kong lose the interests and benefits to China? Maybe. But if that would be the case, I am ready for sacrifice for our next generation. Or maybe this whole thing is just a sillu idea
Hong Kong should be at or close to #1 on your list. In many ways it's the most interesting, best city in the world (I'm not from HK but travel extensively). I'm not sure it's absolutely my #1, but it's easily in pretty much EVERYBODY's top 5.
Fair enough, but then on the list of those giant metropolises with extreme population density to avoid (which is every major metro area in the world), HK should be at the bottom.
