HK youth should look to seize opportunities of Bay Area plan

There are two sides to Hong Kong's youth protesting against the move by the government of the special administrative region to plug some loopholes in the SAR's legal system with necessary legislative amendments to its extradition laws.

On the brighter side, it demonstrates their enthusiasm for public affairs and their youthful idealism.

On the darker side, it exposes the sad fact that many young people in the city see dim prospects for social upward mobility and will avail themselves of every opportunity to vent their frustration.
