elmat, the internal inconsistencies and factual inaccuracies of the article must have given you more than a few hints re its veracity (1) what social tension? you mean the 'rioters' who picked up their own garbage, or the criminals who hit policemen? the former has been disbanded by the instigating organisers and the latter charged w/ crimes and to be housed at the officialdom invitation (2) how does usa consulate streamlining non-permanent visa relate to folks suffering from political uncertainty? (3) increase in tourism visa application says good things about the hong kong economy, ordinarily speaking (4) re <<said immigration consultant John Hui, who described a 20 to 25 per cent increase over the past three years. “Young people are not happy. There is a lot of social unrest.”>> hint, am guessing the consultant hui says what he says for reasons, and much of it has little to do w/ truth and much to do w/ either business or just pleasing the enquiring media young people are not happy, cannot get jobs, but have wherewithal to emigrate?! (5) Re <<In the last year the firm launched a programme for unskilled employee visas for young Hongkongers wanting to gain a green card by working in the fast food industry or on poultry farms. So far around 50 families have signed up, Hui said, describing how this visa option made entry into the US a feasibility for those unable to afford investor visas.>> ah, i see. 50 families signed up out of 7M. Am guessing operating a scam requires a good story. Btw, SCMP is prime suspect in same grouping as NYT, WSJ, FOX, Reuters, Bloomberg, CNN, etc etc, and yes, its reporters are usually unhappy to perhaps the point of despondency
