China no issue for Hong Kong labor rally

May march in Hong Kong

I bumbed into this lively account of yesterday's May march in Hong Kong. An amazing range of subjects: for a legal minimum wage, regulation of working hours, collective bargaining, equal rights for sex workers, deaf and others. Even the odd Marxists were there.

But then I was missing this one word "China", that was only mentioned once in a casual way. China does not seem to be an issue for the Hong Kong labor movements and I find that strange.
