    A giant inflatable duck that paddled into Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour a decade ago has returned to the city, joined by a second yellow companion. The 18-metre (59ft) tall duo will be stationed for two weeks at the Central and Western District promenade. Created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, the original duck was first displayed in Hong Kong in 2013.

    He could easily put one in every city for permanent display. But by rotating them between countries he has kept them relevant and newsworthy.
    That’s really smart.

    Three little ducklings were dragged to court. The judge gave them the eye and ask "What brings three lil ducklings to my court!? You..", he said pointing to the first lil duckling, "What were you doing?" The 1st duckling replied, "I was blowing bubbles in the park." "So, what were you doing to get into trouble ?", the Judge inquired of the 2nd duckling. "I was also blowing bubbles.", the 2nd duckling told the judge. The judge perplexed looked at the 3rd one and said "Tell me the truth. What were you doing when these 2 were blowing bubbles?". The 3rd duckling squeaked, "I am Bubbles."

    China banned searches for "big yellow duck" because the 2013 Hong Kong duck was photoshopped into Tiananmen Square images in place of the tanks. So I'm a bit surprised they allowed this art installation to appear again and so soon after the Tiananmen Square anniversary. Maybe the timing was deliberate by the artist. If so these two ducks may represent two things. Luck and also as a silent commemoration to Tiananmen.

      @@courtly5982 CCP and HKSAR could like to point out that under the guise of "1 country 2 systems", Hong Kong's "freedom" is "guaranteed" by the Basic Law and not subject to the whims of the CCP and the Politburo (LOL). Contrary to your claim of "more free, less authoritarian", Hong Kong has implemented pre-screening of all election candidates for their "patriotism for China and support for the CCP," and the methods of electing the legislature and district councils are now stacked such that the democratic opposition will never again be elected in any meaningful numbers.

    After winning the battle, the CCP took control of mainland from the Taiwanese, forcing hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese to seek sanctuary on a tiny island.
    Then they stretched their control over Tibet, clapping seven million Tibetans all at once.
    Similar actions were taken against the Uyghur community; five million Uyghurs were clapped and the rest were made to work in labour camps.
    In addition, the CCP asserted control over a portion of Ladakh and Kashmir in India, as well as the entire thirteen-island cluster of the Paracel Islands, sixteen other chains of islands, and over a hundred reefs in the Spratly region. They also encroached on some of my country's territories.

    The CCP gained control of mainland China from the Taiwanese after winning the war, resulting in the displacement of Taiwanese individuals who were forced to seek refuge on a tiny island.
    then, they extended their authority over Tibet, clapping seven million Tibetans in one go.
    Similar actions were taken with regards to the Uyghur population, five million Uyghurs were clapped and the rest forced labor in labor camps.
    Furthermore, the CCP proceeded to assert control over a section of Ladakh and Kashmir in India, as well as the entire thirteen-island cluster of the Paracel Islands, an additional sixteen chains of islands, and over a hundred reefs in the Spratly region. They also encroached upon certain territories belonging to my country.
