Predicting
Hong Kong
No one knows what’s going to happen between
now and 2047—especially not after the CCP
announced its “conservative” guidelines for the
2017 CE election. Well, no one knows but us.
We’ve peered into the HK Magazine office crystal
ball to give you a glimpse into Hong Kong’s future.

COVER STORY
Take our awesome career questionnaire
2017 The first Chief Executive election by “universal
suffrage” sees unparalleled 103 percent support for
incumbent Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, as voters
are ushered into voting booths with promises of free
rice boxes.
2018 Pan-democrats whine a lot this year, but Beijing
brushes it off like it ain’t a thing.
2019 CY Leung holds press conference to publicly
repent for his sins: he will be filling in his basement
forthwith.
2025 Long Hair finally allowed into China wearing
“Remember June 4” t-shirt. Pan-dems celebrate the
dawn on a new era of openness and tolerance.
2026 Single “Remember June 4” t-shirt washes up in Sai
Kung bay.
2027 Chief Executive election goes without a hitch.
The three candidates: Glorious Motherland Wong (CCP),
Cadre Ip (Hong Kong Patriot Party), and ex-Macau CE
Fernando Chui (The Communist Party of the SARs),
who wins handily.

years of “One Country, Two Systems” are straight-up
international-standard democracy, as a full-on fuckyou.
