matrixmannAs protests in Hong Kong became a steady topic in Western media in the recent weeks again:
Let's propose a critical question - what do the protesters actually aim for? Why do they fight China's taking-over of the territory?
All of that what they criticize to happen from China's side of things has been formally recorded in a couple of documents made long time ago between the British government and the PRC as part of returning Hong Kong to China which it once was taken from by them as a colony.
So, with fighting that, who do the protesters think will maintain their province instead and make the laws for it if China's reign is not desired?
So this can only mean targeting a return under the British crown.
Think about it...
People fighting for staying a colony!
Of course they won't mention this in your allegedly peace-, freedom- and democracy-loving Western media - as it's like a recently-created new form of sport to shoot darts at China whenever a possibility shows up to do so (especially for America under Trump).
Talking about a former colony actually wanting to stay a colony (judging by the deeds of the activists on the streets), this would be a very strange topic to report about with a subtle psychological undertone of joy.

Even though - and this should apply to a lot of areas of East Asia these days -, with that many people that live there these days, logistics should require a lot of structural planning, otherwise it's gonna end in big misery.
I don't know about which time you speak if you mean the past - just saying, the growth in population adds a bit spice to the matter if it comes down to securing the daily necessary supply.
Might be that I have a wrong imagination about that, but in my understanding, I don't think this task is that easy anymore like it used to be in the past to just cover it all through only one harbor. No matter how big.
(Btw, I don't think in money here - money you can't eat. I think in necessary goods.)
