The writing on the wall has been clear for Hong Kong ever since the HK police turned violent against the protesters. Yes it's an outcome of horrific consequences for the people of Hong Kong but they need to rebuild in another place as other great cities have been rebuilt in the past.

I would not be surprised if they did, but I hadn’t heard of this. Do you have a reference?

I don’t disagree, but Wolodarski (at the time) fashioned DN as a neutral observer. As he is publishing this opinion piece under his editor-in-chief title, I can only assume he has changed stances (or maybe he just doesn’t want SvD’s editor-in-chief to be in the list of authors instead of him).
