Also, much of the US' economic weakness these days is due to Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush policies. Changes in those policies could change the situation dramatically.

This post <em>was</em> supposed to be a tad satirical. But putting this aside, HK's media (I think a survey of the major paper's editorials would show this) <em>has</em> been increasingly pro-establishment in recent years (esp. after the Tibet backlash) and there are problems of excessive patriotism--all of which, if at a high enough dosage, could be fatal. <em>PS. I'd love to come over, if you'd let me stay at your place...and who knows what could happen...</em> Well, I think I should’ve been more clear:

But putting this aside, HK’s media (I think a survey of the major paper’s editorials would show this) has been increasingly pro-establishment in recent years (esp. after the Tibet backlash) and there are problems of excessive patriotism–all of which, if at a high enough dosage, could be fatal.

PS. I’d love to come over, if you’d let me stay at your place…and who knows what could happen…

And you call them uber-nationalist for airing Olympic promotions? I think you should come to the US and checkout how it's done by NBC. I don't see much difference, except NBC starts Olympic promotions much earlier. Each sporting event that they show years prior to the Olympics will have the Olympic logo. Nobody is calling them uber-nationalist. I think you are the one who's overboard...
