Some News Items in Asia

Two major news stories today.

First of all, India and Bangladesh will be experiencing the most severe storm in their history later today and into the weekend. Already, millions of people have been evacuated.

Let us hope that they come out of this relatively intact.

Also, the ruling Chinese Communist government is about to pass a measure that will significantly increase the presence and pressure of the Chinese government in Hong Kong. This will likely end the "two systems one nation" policy that has been in place there since British rule there ended in 1997.

Mass protests are expected in response.

I am writing this from my Kindle device, which is not as comfortable or easy for me as the laptop. So this will be a short one, at least for today.

Hope that everyone is doing well and staying safe out there!
