Hong Kong is making its financial markets less transparent

香港金融市场越发不透明

Mar 2nd 2013 | SHANGHAI |From the print edition “HONG KONG residents shall have freedom of speech, of the press and of publication.” So begins Article 27 of Hong Kong’s Basic Law.

香港特区《基本法》第二十七条：“香港居民享有言论和新闻出版自由”。这些曾为美好的权利如今受到侵犯。同样让人感到不安的是，就连亚洲最为透明的金融市场-香港现也受到挑战。

WHEN is 6.3 yuan worth more than $1.25? If you can answer that riddle, you can avoid widespread confusion about China’s poverty line. You can also appreciate a rare example of China’s government being treated unfairly by its own mouthpiece, Xinhua.

6.3元人民币什么时候比1.25美元更值钱？如果你能回答这一谜题，你就不会对中国的贫困线困惑不解，你也可以欣赏难得的一次中国政府受到其喉舌-新华社的不公平对待。
