lokman knows the culture of corruption is the legacy the British left the City: including the social unrest over the past decade. Most HKers didn't rise up in support of western liberal democracy, they stood up against an intensifying affordability crisis exacerbated by the city's own oligarchy.
International media, you can do better than this.
"Bamboo" is maybe exotic and a compelling hook but it is too easy. The real story here is the growing culture of corruption, including a lack of accountability and oversight, that enabled a chain of human errors that led to this disaster.

The common thread is not that these disgraced people had a profession, it's that they all belonged to an unaccountable elite. Adjunct lecturers have as much in common with Summers as beat reporters do with Nuzzi.
Sure, Nuzzi isn’t all journalists. Sure, Larry Summers isn’t all academics. Sure, Musk isn’t all CEOs. And also, if you don’t think their prominence & behavior tells us something about those professions & our National Conversation™️ in this authoritarian era, I don’t really know what to tell you.

In a sane world, the government guilty of committing genocide would be dismantled, and forced to pay reparations. Instead they are allowed to corral their victims into a concentration camp and steal their land. We live in the most obscene of all possible timelines.
