Hong Kong leader warns of 'resistance' on handover anniversary

Yeah, people might not be willing to celebrate Hong Kong being turned into an economic and intellectual wasteland.

I wouldn’t be worried about the British interference, C I A.

Try to airbrush history all you want, CCP. We all remember how you lied on your promise of self-governance, democracy and how "1 country, 2 systems" was always a lie.

The democratic world ignores the leader of Hong Kong. Rightly so.

Hong Kong is the sewer of Communist China. Filthy, horrible place.

What ol' Jack Burton always saysToday 12:41 am JST

Anyway its one China two systems.

Too many think Hongkong isn't China.

Go figure.

What do they expect- its China

There was supposed to be 50 years before it was absorbed into the criminal system.

Oh and Taiwanese are Chinese by the way

Not according to the people.

The Hong Kong I am familiar with is not as you describe. They are Cantonese in a Mandarin majority country forced to suffer under a repressive government not of their choosing. The people of Hong Kong I knew were mostly good, honest and hard working. Sure there were con artists ( selling $25 "Rolex" watches ) and crooks but any city has these. Hong Kong was a happening place. Those days are, for now, in the past but Hong Kong has an identity that I do not think even the Communists can crush. The CCP is not forever. They will fall like all dictatorships do. Hong Kong with its energetic Cantonese soul will still be there.

Too many think Hongkong isn't China.

Go figure.

They are Cantonese, linguistically and culturally different from Mandarin speakers. They hate mainland China and Mandarin speakers. Hate them with a passion. That even rolls over into their dealings with Mandarin speakers abroad. Many a time we have been refused service, even kicked out of places because the Cantonese or Vietnamese proprietor immediately picked up on my wife's Shanghai accented English. The differences and hatred are real. I have been to mainland China and Hong Kong. They are not the same.

Nobody is against China's rise. We are against the CCP authoritarian efforts around the world. That's the key difference.

Hong Kong/Macau and mainland China are very, very, different.

Taiwanese aren't not Chinese, except physically. They have a very different culture. Everyone knows this.

Yes, Resist, by all means

Taiwanese aren't not Chinese, except physically. They have a very different culture. Everyone knows this.

Mao destroyed everything that was good in Chinese culture, even changed the writing, and replaced it with an amoral society driven by a gold rush mentality to acquire more by any means available, good or bad, honest or dishonest. Taiwan and Hong Kong were not under Mao and did not suffer the loss of their respective cultures.

We can't allow any demonstrations of expression! That wouldn't look right in a communist dictatorship like ours! 50 years to life in prison without parole for anyone who protests!

A form of passive resistance is not confined to Hong Kong. Young mainland Chinese are "laying flat", doing the bare minimum to survive and avoiding marriage and kids. Young people will say the future in China is bleak and it is not right to bring a child into that society. If that trend continues it will greatly exacerbate China's demographic problems. The young are refusing to be part of the 996 culture of their parents, ignoring the exhortations of CCP bigwigs. The CCP has a lot more to worry about than Hong Kong.

It appears that China's actions towards Hong Kong are ongoing. Despite imprisoning pro-democracy activists and implementing a national security law that limits free speech, China has established a political party in Hong Kong consisting of mainland loyalists. This move signifies China's involvement in Hong Kong's political landscape.
