Wanted to know how a right-wing Govt. will change States, People and their policies, read this. This is not just about HK Vs. China. Its the same fate we are also slowly swallowing in currently. //Today, some 2 million people, or 30% of the population, live in public housing estates, and one fifth of the population lives below the poverty line. Those who can’t wait for the overcrowded public housing system live in neighborhoods like Sham Shui Po, infamous for its “cage homes“— cheap, small metal cubicles consisting of a bunk bed and not much else. And the depth of poverty in Hong Kong appears to be getting worse. According to the government, the poverty gap—the amount of money theoretically needed to pull families back to the poverty line—widened to $28.8 billion (pdf, p. 24) in 2012 from $25.4 billion in 2009.// qz/228613/hong-kong-protesters-blame-china-for-rising-inequality-and-economic-woes/
