In all my years as a sort of ‘konger’, there has never been much political unrest. It’s not a very political place. People were content to shop and watch soccer. But then, today, massive protests run amuck on the streets, people turning out to protest the government of not issuing a license to a new TV station. Why? Censorship from the Central Communist government? Someone didn’t pay a bribe to Beijing? Seemingly such a small matter, but the embittered kongers are sensitive to creeping mainland China influence more and more.
Well, at least I had some very good Pu-Erh at Lockcha teashop today. Tea helps to calm frayed nerves.
