JOHN MENADUE. From a Long Term Permanent Resident of Hong Kong.

The following report is from a long term permanent resident of Hong Kong who along with the rest of Hong Kong has watched the long Summer of Discontent, with disbelief at how rapidly the city has fractured and deteriorated. It analyses what is happening  and why  and is pessimistic about a solution to the current problem in  the near future.The writer is a university lecturer who wishes to remain anonymous for reasons of personal and professional security.
