Sensible, inclusive thinking key to resolving HK and mainland spat

LEUNG CHUNYING, chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said in a recent conference that he would continue discussing with the central authorities whether to limit personal trips from the mainland to Hong Kong. This has intensified the feelings of some irrational mainland tourists, with some radical ones tearing up their travel documents and posting the photos online as a protest. Comments:

Hong Kong faces a dilemma. On the one hand, some residents hope to limit the number of mainland tourists because of the improper behavior of some. On the other hand, its local economy depends, to a large extent, upon the consumption of these tourists. It is really a hard choice for the leaders of the Hong Kong SAR.
