HONG KONG : 1 OCTOBER AND DOUBLE TENTH CELEBRATION

1.

2.

I can see no reason why there should be any serious trouble, though the celebration of the Double Tenth by both organisations has the potential for it. The NCNA and the MFA in Peking have already warned us about KMT flags in Hong Kong and we can expect to hear more afterwards.
