has a well-oiled machinery when it comes to weather events.

HK Observatory issues weather warnings: Amber rain, red rain, black rain, monsoon, typhoon T1, T3, T8, T10

Schools, employers, government and private services have well-documented standards for when they'll be open, be closed, offer limited service etc, depending on weather signal and timing.

The city thankfully made a decision relatively early on, before adding millions of people, to invest in separate systems for rain drainage and waste sewage. The drainage has margins for even the most extreme weather events.

Hong Kong was ranked 135 out of 180 countries and territories in RSF's 2024 press freedom index

"Once a bastion of press freedom, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China has suffered an unprecedented series of setbacks since 2020, when Beijing adopted a National Security Law aimed at silencing independent voices"

Chińskie giełdy przestaną podawać obroty w czasie rzeczywistym

Dzienne dane będą nadal dostępne po zamknięciu rynków, ale w realiach politycznych ChRL musi to budzić obawy o przejrzystość informacji.
