WTO Protest in Hong Kong
Just found out that I can access Ming Pao from my computer and therefore I can read Hong Kong news now! Hurray. Whats going on in Hong Kong?
The WTO is having their meeting in Hong Kong right now and there are tonnes of people protesting on the streets near Wan Chai. The Hong Kong police was prepared, however, they did not expect the South Korean farmers to swim in the Victoria Harbor and tried to reach the exihibition hall from there. Here is the picture from International
Herald Tribune (as of December 14th 2005).
In the past few years, protest has become more popular in Hong Kong. It could also be my own rise of political awareness, however, I do think that people are more concerned with politics and economic these days; particularly after the handover.
