Hong Kong is a classic example where its citizens have almost every freedom except for the last hurdle. So why is Hong Kong politics a forum with few compromises? So why didn’t Hong Kong people seek independence from Britain and now some localists are seeking autonomy to determine their own future? The problem with Hong Kong elites is that they seem to know what they don’t want, but not what Hong Kong citizens really want. That would solve no problem except that the Hong Kong citiizen has exercised his or her right to elect a non-performer.
