Interestingly the plan mandates the use of IPv6 pretty much everywhere, as well as FTTH to all homes in all cities across the PRD. It doesn't give the reason why these specific technologies are mentioned in what's meant to be a strategic plan though.
I wonder if the mainland will ever force either of the 2 ex-colonies to convert into using the "right hand road" orientation? That would be an interesting experiment.
As long as they do it incrementally it should be fine. For the first week only transition motorcycles to drive on the other side, then the week after the cars, then a week later transition the trucks and heavy vehicles to the other side...
The headline is a little alarmist. I read the plan and the plan completely acknowledges the one country, two systems principle.

Too bad everyday citizens and businesses can't access the services they want with it, most of the bandwidth will probably be used for surveillance and control.
FWIW I already have 1Gbps FTTH dual-stack Internet at home here in HK.
Here's an interactive map of the growing Pearl River Delta megalopolis: https://geoshen.com/posts/the-pearl-river-delta-megalopolis
>The PRD megalopolis is an urban area of gargantuan proportions with few like it in existance. >It's home to 65 million people, a population similar to that of the United Kingdom. >It covers an area around 55,000 km^2, about the size of the country of Croatia. >The GDP of the PRD megalopolis clocks in at over $1.2 trillion, about the same as Mexico. Well damn, I live in Croatia, can't even make a mental image of that…
The NY Metropolitan Statistical Area is 20.3 million residents in 17,405 km2, according to Wikipedia.
China is fast becoming a fascist capitalistic country with the government acting as CEO or a board member with a majority of stock: "...Hong Kong will set up financing and investment platform for the Belt and Road Initiative..." Well, what if they don't want too?
It seems China proper has over-extended itself with the BRI and is going to use Hong Kong resources now... The rest of the objectives just seem contrived.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
And Croatia's town (like Split) leaves impression like a really crowded place. At least for me as person from North Europe country.
You can't really take the one of the most visited and touristy places in Croatia and consider it the average. By comparison the largest city Zagreb of about a million people, which is a quarter of the entire population, has the density of 1300 people per km2, that's about 1/3 or 1/4 of the pop. density of Berlin or Stockholm. Compared to Norway which is the least populated country on the continent, Croatia has the sa…
I heard from a Chinese legal academic that when China is diplomatically isolated, the two provinces tend to be left alone to enjoy the benefits of their independent foreign ties. When China is more politically feeling comfortable, that is when the pressure for conformity tends to come from Beijing.
Well the Hong Kong autonomy expires in 2047 It would be negligent not to continually manage and revise the plans as the economies change. It would be stranger to know that you are legally obligated to annex and support a neighboring economic powerhouse with a totally parallel incompatible culture that was ignored or isolated for 50 years. Instead, Mainland China has become less and less aligned with Marx’s teachings,…
