#Editorial AppleDailyHK | "The Chief Executive has turned into a puppet. The Legislative Council has turned into a rubber stamp. The Court of Final Appeal has turned into a protector of the law. These are the worst manifestations of Patten’s worries with regard to the evisceration of Hong Kong’s autonomy. However, Beijing’s direct legislation for Hong Kong and the dispatch of party rogues to govern Hong Kong are direct stifling of Hong Kong’s autonomy.

The news of October 8 will certainly crowd out the news of October 7, and we’ll be on to the next “October Surprise” that will, in hindsight, be surprising to no one.​
​
It is through that lens that I will watch Harris’ command performance. I’ll watch with a little bit of sadness, and a little bit of longing⋯⋯”​
