        None of which mention economics! Obviously SCMPNews hasn't thought their solution through... 😀 Maybe, just maybe, there's an easier solution than trying to buy their way out? One that begins with 'D'?

        HK must reform its economic policy to restore social calm as economics is critical to any lasting peace. The HK economic policy is a laissez-faire nirvana(a regressive tax in the form of high land prices). It strangles the middle class with deepen wealth & social inequality!

        Yes, to return to law n order, HK gov n the people must work together to make comprehensive reforms in all sectors of our society. But before we do that, we must prosecute the perpetrators of violence to the fullest extent of the law. Lesson: bad actions has bad consequences.

        @hkpoliceforce also need to accept the pain that they are not special and not above the law. They must and will face justice, they should have never trusted the Communist Party.

        The OP doesn’t explain why housing market in HK is the cause of the violence. Not at all. Seems like just an opportunity to get in an agenda of increase of taxes. How does the govt benefit from high land prices? OP never explains. Instead he argues for a progressive property tax?

        Also “The odds are good that Hong Kong’s laissez-faire economics is corruption in disguise.” — is an oxymoron. I don’t see how you can have any less corruption than a govt that does nothing. Laissz faire is govt that doesn’t interfere.

        No, @SCMPNews , the major difficulty does not come from Hong Kong city itself, but the system ran and held by #CCP. Any profit cannot save the crisis of the non-trusting government. 5 demands was the basic line, give us liberty or give HK death.pic.twitter.com/yd4DS6FrYg
