Happy Chinese new year everyone! In the early hours of last Tuesday (9 Feb) the MongKok area of Hong was rocked by riotting. Reports suggest that 90 police officiers were injured and 54 suspects were arrested. The riot was supposedly against the crackdown on street food vendors who normally ply their products in that area. However, most of the riotters appear to be young people rather than the vendors. Personally I am not a great fan of street food myself, and I find the media's explanation very puzzling. Also live news footage showed a van deliver bricks, bottles and face masks for the rioters which does make me think that this was all pre-meditated rather than spontaneous.
