農暦八月初九。雨。ネットやモバイルのメディア普及。従前からの紙媒体に頼る世代の高齢化、モバイルメディア世代の増加。蘋果日報ですら明らかに部数がおちてどんどん薄くなつてゆく。アタシは従前からの紙の新聞を紙面ビューワーで読んでゐる。かつての愛読紙・信報は最近はほとんど読まなくなりデジタル版は有料で2008年から自動継続で購読してきたが、これも止めることに。2008年の夏から、と覚へてゐるのは、それがホーチミンからハノイへの列車の旅の途中ホーチミンからの夜行列車を朝、ダナンで下りてホイアンのリゾートに数日遊んだとき、コテージで広い敷地内どこもWi-Fi完備だつたのが、そんなこと郊外のホテルでベトナムで初めて。信報がデジタル版開始とお知らせを読みコテージのバルコニーで信報のデジタル版を読んだ記憶。でモバイルメディアだが中文大学の傳播與民意調查中心によるメディア公信性調査で初めてネット媒体もそれに加はりトップは「立場新聞」（こちら）の5.24は納得。もっとも低いスコアは熱血時報だが、これは紙媒体での蘋果日報以上に過激路線で当然か。いずれにせよ紙で新聞を読む世代とネット世代では思考から主張まで大きく違ひ断層はますます深く。
▼香港立法會選挙結果につきFTの巻頭記事“A not-so-local difficulty - China’s separatist troubles have just got bigger. It has only itself to blame”（こちら）より引用。
To prevent separatism from growing in Hong Kong, Mr Xi has only one option that might actually work. That is to give the territory full democracy, not a system that is rigged in favour of the Communists’ supporters. Mr Xi may well prefer to stifle democracy even more. That would increase anger and frustration, boost separatist demands and make China’s great revival as a “harmonious” nation ever more distant.
もう１本は“The city that scares China - A new front opens in China’s struggle against separatism”（こちら）より。
One option that China may consider is pushing Hong Kong to revive its long-shelved plans to introduce a new law against subversion. That, however, would risk a public backlash, such as occurred in 2003 when hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in protest against the government’s previous attempt to do so. It may also think about backing Leung Chun-ying, the current chief executive, for another term when elections are held next March for the post (without public input). Mr Leung is implacably anti-localist, but is also hugely unpopular. Keeping him would also risk triggering more unrest on the streets. The least likely option is that China will grant Hong Kong the democracy many of its people want. Among its many fears is that others in China, not least in its restless west, may ask why they are not allowed it, too.
