The Hong Kong government doesn't get enough praise for reinventing the city as the world capital of absurdist theater.

The opposition in Hong Kong faces the difficult choice of whether to go to jail for winning an election (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/02/world/asia/hong-kong-democracy-councilors.html …) or for refusing to run.
