Hong Kong Deploys Anti-riot Armoured Vehicle for July 1
An anti-riot, bullet-and-explosion-proof armoured vehicle, dubbed 'Saber-toothed tiger',
is patrolling Causeway Bay, Hong Kong around Time Square for at least 2 days, apparently
due to the "sensitive date" of July 1, the change of sovereignty of Hong Kong from UK to
China. At least 10 police vehicle and numerous policemen are also deployed in the area.
It attracted many people, including curious tourists, to take pictures.
This is not the first time. Similar arrangement were made on Chinese New Year; October 1
- China's national day; June 4, anniversary of the Beijing Tiananmen Massacre in 1989.
Is there an elevated threat of terrorist attack or an imminent riot? As the
government claims repeatedly that Hong Kong has already moved 'from chaos to rule',
is it necessary to have such disproportionate show of force? Will it scare off
tourists who might think that Hong Kong is a very dangerous place? Is it
spreading the image of a 'Good Hong Kong'?
