    Hong Kong is mainland China, now that they’re no longer under colonial guidance from England. There’s a reason Dr. Chan is so pro China, given the hell he grew up in in occupied hong kong.

        Do you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950s_in_Hong_Kong

        It was invaded by England and made to be a British Colony for decades where slavery was openly legal, HK had no control over its fate whatsoever, and the UK enforced a strict class and social hierarchy where native peoples were massively oppressed compared to Brits.

        It’s actually genuinely disgusting you’re defending both imperialism, the genocide that the imperialism fueled, and violently hostile occupation of a foreign land.

          Well, TIL…

          • Jackie Chan is at least 187 years old
          • A treaty of rule and lease is “occupation”
          • The Hong Kong protests are because indoctrinated imperialists and the CCP is a force of liberation

          Or you’re an idiot that knows nothing of HK society, culture, governance, and life in the past century.

          Try talking to someone from there if you can’t be bothered learning. You’ll be very quickly corrected and possibly punched in the face.

      Was it really more of a hell than it is now?

      Especially if you don’t exactly agree with the government it’s not a very nice place to be right now.
