Okay, that's a bluff, Mike. Let's see the full tally of costs. What we would have liked to get from it all, however, is some international recognition that Hong Kong is thriving under Chinese sovereignty, that all most people here remember about the handover is that it rained a lot.

China still has our spy plane too . . .
And, sure enough, it happened once more. The authorities strove to keep the yellow shirt brigade away from the venue but they could not keep the cameras away from the yellow shirts.

That is what we showcased, a foreign illusion with racist overtones. Let's not do it again.
