Fireworks and Innovation: Lessons from Shenzhen for Hong Kong
Fireworks Controversy and Public Perception
Fireworks have sparked discussions in Hong Kong, particularly after the cancellation of two drone shows meant to accompany the festivities. The government cited a 'technical glitch', but the real issue stemmed from ionospheric scintillation affecting drone performance.

In striking contrast, Shenzhen successfully conducted drone shows on the same day, adapting their schedule. The cancelation in Hong Kong not only disappointed many but also highlighted a lapse in public communication and planning strategies.
Adapting to Changing Dynamics
- Flexible Planning: Shenzhen showcased flexibility in adjusting their event timelines.
- Challenges of Perception: Hong Kong's approach led to questions about its ability to innovate.
- Innovation and Technology: Key areas where Hong Kong must improve.
- Public Safety Considerations: Importance of addressing public safety in event planning.
