What do Hong Kongers care about?Posted by Banyue, October 16, 2007 5:34 PM
 Hong Kong Commercial Daily October 16, 2007 The Hong Kong Commercial Daily (HKCD) is a business-oriented newspaper published in both Hong Kong and mainland China. The nameplate notes that it has special permission from the Chinese government to circulate on the mainland, and according to the About page on the paper's website, it is the only Hong Kong newspaper granted such freedom. The top headline of today's HKCD reads: "The motherland will always be the strong support behind Hong Kong and Macau; President Hu says no to any external interference!" For a second day, all newspapers across the country have nothing but photos of the Great Hall of People and President Hu on the front page. This is one of the only papers with a distinctive layout and unique articles rather than cookie-cutter photos and Xinhua wire reports. Other headlines:
At the bottom of the front page, there is an opinion piece about how bright the future of Hong Kong is with the support of mainland China. |

Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.

I'm not sure, but I think that Kong Pao Bao is also available on the mainland....
Come on. Hong Kong Commercial Daily is owned by Shenzhen newspaper group. That's the only reason.
