Hong Kong craves democracy. So much even that today's South China Morning Post is prepared to grasp every possible straw and making it the leader on the front page.
A quote (and I'm not making this up): 'The central government may hint in vague and indirect wording that there could be a possibility of reaching full democracy by 2017.'
Sounds like something straight out of The Onion. This is not grasping a straw. This is grasping the shadow of a hypothetical straw that might, just might, appear by the time the clouds that block the sun have moved.
Or not, of course. Meanwhile, I suggest the South China Morning Post leaves rumours to blogs.
