tried to determine where the large scale protests shall supposedly be, and so far found none where I would go except passing by <<Wong Tai Sin, Tai Po, Sham Shui Po and the east of Hong Kong Island>> scmp.com

the arrival hall at airport cannot contain that many folks, especially when self-confined w/i taped perimeters. I did not sense any danger as the jack and I coursed through to taxi queue

do detect that taxi drivers are gradually getting fed up w/ continuing disruption but not speedily so, as at least at the airport protesters were pretty orderly (as at Friday late afternoon local time)

the slogans appeared to remain re extradition bill, an already d.o.a. legislation, so unclear what issues remain for which the broader population would tolerate disruptions should there be any

some in the crowds supposedly want folks who were arrested be let off, a non-starter if the arrested were caught redheaded hurting folks or damaging property or preparing to do so

team china banning cathay airline pilots who participated in the non-approved (no license) protests which of course is a message to fire the law breakers, and that shall likely happen

the above cited article talks about <<“This economic downturn is very fast, and some people have described it as coming like a tsunami. Compared with past downturns that we have handled, such as those caused by Sars and past economic storms, I am afraid this is more serious,” Lam said after a meeting with 33 business leaders, including those from the tourism, retail and banking sectors.>>

... the numbers do not support the view, at least not yet. No buying moment presents itself, not yet, be they trade war related or local protest caused.
