It's spelled "protesters". And "of" would be better than "of of" in that clue. :)

It can be used that way, but the way the clue is written is more correct:

"Xiamen" is a bit of a stretch for a Hong Kong quiz I think. What about something like "Deng ________ was the leader of China when China took back control of Hong Kong"/"What was the personal name of the leader of China when when Britain gave back Hong Kong to China"? That was awkward to write without using the word "handover".

If you're considering a question for X that's actually related to Hong Kong, you should ask for the Mandarin Chinese name of Hong Kong. The answer would be Xianggang.

Just couldn't figure out the correct English spelling of typhoon. Where I live they're called Taifun which probably comes from the Cantonese tái fung. Well, now I know.

I agree with the suggestion for an 'x' cue above. What is the Mandarin name for Hong Kong: Xianggang. Seems more relevant than Xiamen.

The typhoon one should be more like Hong Kong is struck by a few of these storms every year instead of every few years hong kong is struck by one of these storms

Jiangshi is Mandarin. In Hong Kong, they're called goeng si. Good quiz though.

I'm surprised that Yue is so low. I thought Cantonese was a lot more well known, especially considering we're a whole bunch of nerds.

Little bit more leniency on spelling of "Buddha"? - both "Budda" and "Buddah" won't work

Using mission impossible 2 in the clue makes me sad. Not The Killer, Hard Boiled, or a Better Tomorrow? :/

You should accept 'Wu' for 'Woo' as these are just transliterations of Chinese.
