<<TJ, an interesting test of how "free" Hong Kong is, would be if Hong Kong voted by 9:1 to be completely independent of China>> ... Don't be silly, why would we want to do that? <<I think Hong Kong's freedom is a gilded cage. Kind of like a 2 year old is "free" to play in their sand pit to their heart's content. Until dusk, when Mommy calls out, "Time to come inside and eat your tripe and onions darling".>> ... gee, and this from some one living in communist new zealand who cannot choose to even keep his resources intact? <<It would be a good idea not to assert that vaunted "freedom" too loudly>> ... why not, since we are the freest in the world bar none. <<Nevertheless, it would not be difficult to be rated "most free" country given how repressive all the rest are, even with China's Damocles Sword hanging over Hong Kong.>> ... yes, but even so, we are really quite aways freer than the second place runner up.
