Why political apathy is a bigger threat to Hong Kong’s future than independence calls [The South China Morning Post]

Much of the commentary about independence, at least from establishment sources, seems to alternate between dismissal, finger-wagging and outright panic. This attitude is misguided. These sources are right to note that independence is unconstitutional, practically unfeasible and probably unsupported by a majority of Hong Kong people. But this does not mean harsh criticism and lecturing is the right strategy to tackle the independence movement, or the cynicism about politics that has sparked it.
