| My letter in today’s South China Morning Post |
I’m a bit surprised they published it, given the Post is really hyping the Rugby Sevens tournament which starts this coming weekend. They do so presumably at the behest of the government.
We'll see. Perhaps I’ll be proved wrong and it’ll be a major success! 🏉
Text from old mate: “SCMP. Well said - HK living in the cave, without light, plain straight ignorance.”
The South China Morning Post, established in 1903, is the paper of record for English speakers in the Asian region with an interest in China and regional news. After 1997 and China’s resumption of sovereignty, then after 2012 when Alibaba, owned by China resident Jack Ma, bought the Post, we all worried. But it’s kept to reporting news, good and bad about China. If recently there are a few more pro-China items, they are well flagged, and there are no fewer China-critical op-eds. I think they’re doing well navigating these treacherous waters.
