Overall: I took the liberty of creating the talk page of Winnie Yu, adding the hatnote about her name on the article. Regarding the hook, I suggest mentioning the coronavirus pandemic and the reason behind the strikes, though HK's history with pandemics is very different with the rest of the world so it might still be baffling for the broader audience.

• ALT1: ... that in response to the Hong Kong government refusing to close its border with mainland China to contain COVID-19, Winnie Yu organized a labour strike among hospital workers in February 2020?
• @Corachow: Let me know if my additions to the article provide enough context. feminist (talk) 06:25, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

• Feminist, it still needs some changes: capital M for Mainland China, link to COVID-19 and link the the section about the border from COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong. Do you want to make another ALT about her running for office? It's seems interesting to me. Corachow (talk) 13:05, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

• @Corachow: Linked the articles as requested. In my experience "mainland China" with a small "m" appears to be common usage, both on the mainland China article and in news articles. My concern with mentioning the bit about her running for office is that it may be considered too promotional, as she is currently running for the Legislative Council. I think there is (or was) a rule against that, but I can't pinpoint it right now... feminist (talk) 14:05, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

• I usually use a capital M, but since that article uses a small m, it should be fine. Also I think you should specify which month, considering how much had changed in the past few months, there's a very detailed article about the strikes on Chinese Wikipedia so if you can read Chinese you can get some more info and sources there. And on her running for office, I think you are correct. Corachow (talk) 14:18, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

• I've added the month to the hook. I'll probably translate that Chinese Wikipedia article on the strike at some point. feminist (talk) 14:29, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

• It's good to go. Corachow (talk) 15:14, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
