Cathay is a local institution, which has expanded its influence over the decades along with the city. The $5 billion company has some 27,000 staff, many of them based in Hong Kong. That makes its concessions all the more painful. There are few palatable options for Hogg, who is already dealing with cargo yields battered by a trade war and a turnaround plan that leans heavily on revenue growth. Cathay has no domestic market and can ill-afford the loss of mainland passengers. State carrier Air China is its second-largest shareholder, behind Swire, the bottling-to-property conglomerate.

Resistance is futile

America can employe those who disgust USA as pliot. I think the plane will be safe.

Such political repression will further darken Beijing's future.
