Lindy Briefing

THE SIGNAL: A high-rise apartment fire in Hong Kong has resulted in at least 55 deaths, with some reports claiming the death toll has risen to 128. Authorities have arrested three individuals connected to a construction company following the deadly fire.
THE FRICTION: Sources disagree on the final death toll, with initial reports stating 55 dead, while later reports indicate 128. The role of bamboo scaffolding in the fire is debated, with some drawing parallels to the Grenfell Tower fire and the role of cladding, while others focus on other factors.
THE NOISE: Claims that the fire is a direct test of Beijing's rule in Hong Kong appear to be speculative and lack concrete evidence linking the fire's causes to political control.
