My friends and I think Hong Kong is going down the drain and we want to do something about it – there is decay all around us!” said political commentator Lau Nai-keung.
His comment might usually be expected from an anti-government figure, advocating more democracy.
But Mr Lau hails from the loyalist camp, the constituency in Hong Kong that believes only greater acceptance of Chinese rule over this former British colony can put the territory on the right path.
It suggests dissatisfaction in Hong Kong is spreading.
“We have to confront the political reality of Hong Kong,” he urged.
“Hong Kong is under Chinese communist leadership and we must all make a commitment to this future,” he said.
His complaints range from a press which he thinks has become too free to an alleged deterioration in public services.
