But this is clearly an article about a major change in the Zeitgeist. After all, the Coast Guard represents Western Civilization (especially now that it's under the Department of Homeland Security), while Hong Kong represents Eastern Civilization (especially now that it's under Beijing's thumb). Who said that East and West can't meet? The Twain have Met. So, finally, we see the End of History and of the Clash of Civilizations. It's the Negation of the Negation!
