This article is totally spot-on: a straight up account of what has happened and not happened in Hong Kong in relation to Covid. Hong Kong has two years to prepare for this, and yet now appears to be taken totally by surprise! What an earth have they been doing? Hong Kong should’ve looked to Singapore a long time ago for guidance.

What is happening now it’s truly a disaster for Hong Kong, this feeble, pathetic plea that they need help from Beijing is just the beginning…

This is ridiculous how Asiasentinel twists what is happening. HK has never seen this kind of covid outbreak and is trying to deal with it. The local government can't manage and calls for a lock down, just like what Australia did about 6 months ago. Now one may have your opinion on that but it's definitely not a Crack down as you put it. Stop trying to politicalize everything just to earn a buck!! Typical!

The whole response in HK has been politicised by the authorities so as to maintain a zero covid policy and not lose face. The article's accurate.

HK has been under a lock down for two years going on 3. Don't know what you're talking about. Flights from 8 countries have been suspended indefinitely. Business travellers are not permitted to enter, only residents. HK is supposedly an "international" city but no longer is. It's just another mainland city. HK govt is lame and lives fearfully of the northerners who now directly call the shots. From sending in their NSL experts, they are now sending en-mass their medical "experts".
