Hong Kong People Angry Again

No more Hong Kong, no more Tibet

The Encyclopaedia Britannica has begun to refer to Hong Kong as Xianggang, the Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) pronunciation of the name.

Strange that a British publication would adopt the Mandarin pronunciation and spelling of a city. Perhaps a few more Hong Kongers will pine for independence/neocolonialism to get away from China.

Most people do not expect Hong Kong to be a problem for China, but it could become a PR nightmare if social mood collapses.
