Who are the people who sit in committees and propose these regulations. What possible motivations drive them to make these insane laws which inhibit physical activity and damage population health.

Herbie Hancock group was great, but West Kowloon production team 👎👎 Bass amp not in the house sound for most of the night, cameras typically 30 seconds behind the action, band next door at the fest too loud... hope they learn.

Hong Kong has been reintroducing anti-Japan curriculum, mostly around WWII (and see the redesigned coastal defense museum). I've lived in Japan and China, the people are at heart respectful of each other as both Govs promote nationalism.
