RSSWhat a disgusting thing to say. Chinaman’s post are very informative. Like he said he is a Hong Konger, married to a mainlander, and his mother from the mainland originally, having swam across the river from Shenzhen to Hong Kong. What Chinaman has to say is of value and another side of the China Hong Kong story we all should listen to. I respect Chinaman’s mother’s opinion more than yours, she reminds me of my Grandmother, not highly educated, however she had a lot of wisdom. You show a lack of respect for her story, her truth.
Check yourself will you.
True about the censorship, the video you provided, says Youtube account now closed. Yeah sure, more likely censored.
Beijing uses fear to control the Chinese. They do not have any other tools in the toolbox: HK is a problem because - despite the author’s ignorance - China now depends more than ever on HK’s position in the financial world. Otherwise China would have shot the protesters a long time ago. As it is, China is now like a deer in the headlights: China national day is coming up on Oct 1 and they need to stop the protests before then (or China loses face) buts without destroying access to USD, but they don’t know how! I understand the author’s BS: he is superimposing his understanding of the world on the HK locals, the classic “everybody thinks the same way and behaves the same way so the HK protesters must be doing the same” simpleton’s line of wisdom. Oh well, if it entertains, who cares. It certainly doesn’t educate: doesn’t he know that all protesters are protesting their loss of something and have reached a point where they will protest. Calling them niggers will get you some extra clicks but I am none the wiser about HK, you could be writing about the yellow vests.Replies: @Parsnipitous, @Goldie
The Chinese leaders knew how to deal with Tiananmen, they knew how to deal with minority unrest, without unnecessary cruelty and without hesitation and prevarication.
China doesn’t need Hong Kong as a financial centre anymore. They have Shenzhen and Shanghai on the mainland.
