Hong Kong Silence Operation Part 4: Controlling the Narrative The Hong Kong Government seems to have a protocol to control narrative right from the start. Instead of stopping the fire and saving lives, finding a proper scapegoat was their first priority. Nov 26, the very same day of the fire, Xinyan Huang, a scholar from China, blamed on the bamboo scaffolding for fire to spread rapidly. Major news outlets including CNN, BBC, Reuters, the Guardians all reported the fire based on his only opinion. Nov 27, John Lee, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, announced a plan to phrase out bamboo scaffolding in Hong Kong. Although some news have changed their opinion on bamboo scaffolding later on, the discussion about the fire focused on bamboo scaffolding rather than collusive bidding and how the government was involved. Up until now, no government officials are arrested or responsible and no policy has been changed. #HongKongFire#TaipoFire#宏福苑火災
