Half a million protesters expected today and China is threatening with big military-police force: https://twitter.com/willripleyCN…
- if they intervene, they do exactly what the protest is againststed
- I have trouble seeing what China would gain by sending in troops. It will just turn public opinion in Hong Kong further against them.yuekit
- Are they gonna kill every protester? Put the entire city on lockdown forever? There aren't any good options.yuekit

If it's still around, Dumpling Yuan on 259 Queen's Rd East, Wan Chai. The dumplings with noodles and everything else are fantastic in a pretty plain looking place, but my god they do this cucumber salad with crumbled peanuts, garlic and chilli on top that is mind-blowing. I would drive a tank over a hundred omg's to eat one more bowl of that stuff.
My sister lived about 300m away for about 5 years, and I ate there several times every time I visited.

it did get snapped up by a franchise though... so not sure in quality now, but still could be worth a lunch trip.
- nice. thanks. I was looking for some food recommendations. This will be a good food experiment for me.capn_ron

Nice typist! some really good stuff in there. I like the idea about the free paper too. There may be a good event happening that would be even better while in HK! I'll email you if I have any specific questions.

Firing more than 1,800 rounds of tear gas, Hong Kong police have repeatedly violated standards for safely dispersing crowds, experts said, putting protesters and bystanders in serious danger. We reviewed dozens of cases where it was used.

considering the trend of always having an in-house troll, surprised we don't have our own 50 cent army shill in qbn.
