First time it was ignorable as a glitch, second time it was suspect, today it seems clearly a move to keep the numbers out of public hands and minds. Perhaps it is just coincidence, but it is starting to look like Beijing style information control. HK is a wonderful place and I really hope this is not part of a larger information censoring movement. Today--and many days-- the air is at dangerous levels and I hope the responsible Government parties are honest enough to let the public know.
