• Now it's Hong Kong asking Beijing for a re-interpretation of the Basic Law. The entire transition from Tung to Donald Tsang has been a complete mess. It doesn't bode well and shows just how hasty the whole process has been. The NYT looks at the longer term impact the undermining of law in Hong Kong will have.
• Hong Kong's newest pro-Beijing party, the People's Party, which ESWN analyses in depth. It isn't obvious there is a gap for this party to fill. What does constantly amaze me is how much talk about "class" there is in Hong Kong politics. Is this osmosis from Communist China? Classes exist as convenient labels, nothing more or less.
• The support continues to pour in for China's anti-secession law. Cuba and Tajikistan (thanks MM) have joined in.
• Conspiracy theory of the day: China is implanting ID chips in pandas as a test for humans.
• Hong Kong's boys in blue have nabbed the park trail robbers. ESWN points out two very different versions of how the cops got their men.
• On Friday Ocean Park, Hong Kong's other Government owned theme park, released details of its revamp to compete against the Government's other park. At a mere HK$5.5 billion, it's a fraction of the cost of Hong Kong Disneyland. OP Chairman Allan Zeman: "We are not trying to 'outdo Disney' but compliment it. Disney doesn't have animals." Someone tell Mickey.
• (10:51) Currently if you search for Hong Kong Disneyland on Google my post "Build it and they will come", which details the costs and expenses to HK taxpayers of this park, is around 12th, on the second page. If others link it may help boost the post's ranking and push it onto the front page, so when people search for Hong Kong Disneyland they can know something of the true costs of the project. Please use the words "Hong Kong Disneyland" in the link.
• (13:48) The essential China Digital News has morphed into China Digital Times, with a swish new site design. They report on the crackdown on popular university BBS in China. These portals are now restricted only to university IPs, where before they had been open to all. Update: More info and updates at Danwei, Global Voices and Rebecca MacKinnon.
• Asia Times has an article by Chalmers Johnson on "The Real 'China Threat'". It's the same article I earlier linked in the latest Asia by Blog, previously titled "No Longer the "Lone" Superpower". Nice to see the Asia Times believes in recycling.
• (18:01) China's 50 most beautiful people.
• Here's your chance to tell the People's Daily what you really think. Do they honestly want to know what people think of their content?
• The Singaporean ST Interactive is going to a paid subscription model. At the moment less than 1% of registered users have paid up. Their first article could be titled: how to lose 99% of your readers in one easy step.
• Brad DeLong has another analogy for the China/Taiwan issue: America/Canada of 150 years ago.
• Over at Tony Pierce is a photo of what must be Singapore's best known female blogger. How, why, when and why again?
