Hong Kong Stages First Counterterrorism Drill at Redeveloped Huanggang Crossing The recent counterterrorism drill at the redeveloped Huanggang border crossing has raised more questions than answers about Hong Kong's preparedness for potential security threats.
The exercise, attended by 5,000 civil servants from around 30 bureaus, appears to be a commendable effort on the surface but reveals a troubling lack of transparency and a worrying reliance on bureaucratic procedure over meaningful reform.
The Huanggang border crossing is one of the busiest in Hong Kong, with thousands of people and vehicles passing through daily.
