HONG KONG — In Hong Kong, it’s pandas, pandas, everywhere. Its reigning pair, Ying Ying and Le Le, had twins in August, when Ying Ying become the world’s oldest first-time panda mother after years of failed breeding efforts. The panda windfall has inspired Hong Kong officials to talk about a “panda economy,” encouraging restaurants and businesses to launch panda-themed products. But that is still well below the more than 50 million visitors Hong Kong received from January to October of 2019, a period that includes the start of the protests. Other ideas for revitalizing Hong Kong, such as the “mega-event economy,” have hit roadblocks as political sensitivities remain high.

Residents buy medications at a pharmacy in Shijiazhuang, China, last week. “There will always be complaints.”Though many people in China still support “zero-Covid,” the strict measures have also stoked growing resentment. China is thus now facing a dual challenge, said Donald Low, a professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. “You’re going to see the Hong Kong story played out on a much larger scale” in mainland China, Low said.
