I think Portugal handled this case very well by just giving full citizenship of Portugal.
A citizen of first world to a third world country.....99 % don't speak Portuguese !
Portugal is such a poor country to begin with. But I guess it's still better than mainland Chyna though.
The british did the same. Many sent their children.

If sharp criticism disappears entirely, mild criticism will become harsh. If mild criticism is also not allowed, silence will be considered ulterior motives. If silence is no longer allowed, it would be a crime to praise not enough effort. If only one voice is allowed to exist, then the only voice that exists is a lie.

Sharp or strong criticism is always welcome, as long as it's the truth!! The problem is if those criticism are based on lies and BS!! So?? Do you think it's ok to use lies and BS to criticize??? Hahaha... hahaha.... what a shame!!

There is a strong economic element to this situation. The wealthiest families in HK and the wealthy Hongs (large HK business conglomerates like HK Land, Jardines, etc) have supported China and magnified their wealth. They are people and institutions that don’t have a sense of fairness, only an ambition for more wealth and power. In a way that’s Confucian because they are doing it for their families and future generations. So there is a very stark distribution of wealth issue with virtually ZERO upward mobility for the have-nots. That sets the tone for the political unrest. I love HK. I love the people. I lived there for 15 years in total, on and off between 1986 to 2010. I hope for a middle road that will keep peace and balance out the situation.
Not Confucian at all. Confucianism always look down on merchants of all forms
There is no middle road, the constitutional settlement of Hong Kong is causing a great deal of crisis because it is inauthentic.
Interesting, do you think there is no gap between the rich and poor in western countries let’s say the Great United KINGDOM? 😅😅😅
[[Slaves shall serve]]. Protesting has never done anything to stop strong parties. Protesting is a game for slaves to feel like they are doing something, apart of something bigger than themselves. False hope that is snuffed out by any strong party. Slaves shall serve and this will always be the way until the sun freezes and the moon catches ablaze.
So capitalists are bad?
Thank you to Britain for giving Hong Kong the freedom and democratic right to choose their Governor and their local MP..........wait my bad. That never happened.
They did-and Peking made threats of invasion if these designs were implemented. Thus were we stuck at 訓政, excellent though it was.

This should not surprise anyone. Most of the elite business class in hong kong already left Hong kong back in the late 1990s after the transition. They all mostly left to get citizenships from other English speaking nations in the pacific. Most now simply travel to hong kong for their business needs while maintaining their families and assets overseas. Meaning they have no skin in the game when it came to Hong kong sovereignty, so selling the place out to the mainlanders so they can improve their connection was simply a business transaction. Such a state of affairs was a mortal blow to Hong kong. If you want to experience what hong kong was like you now need to travel to Singapore.
Yet truth be told, isn't fully reunifying Hong Kong into the mainland is the poison pill curse, that's already accelerating China's rapid decline--even mass secessionist collapse, given how Hong Kong has always been the mainland's ONLY legitimate avenue for accepting foreign direct investment, i.e., the ONLY real reason why China became the 2nd largest economy in the world--NOT primarily because of indigenously Chinese hard work?

It is just hopeless in your eyes, not hopeless in Chinese's eyes.
I am born and raised in Hong Kong, I was a RHKP officer briefly up until the take over. In 2019 I took part in the protests most days for 7 months up until the end of November 2019 when I had no choice but to leave Hong Kong and I haven't been able to go back ever since.. Prior to the take over you could feel things were changing and we were warned that the police will be flooded with mainlanders and pro-CCP officers. I never imagined things would get as bad as it has in such a short time. It was heartbreaking to see what had come of the once world respected HKPF, they were now a lawless pack of thugs very similar to Mao's Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution. The whole experience during the protests left me traumatized, I couldn't sleep for months and I've only just been able to watch footage of the protests. I dream of the day all exiled Hong Kongers can return home and meet again.
I am sorry to hear that my friend, sincerely many of us in the West even't realised this has happened. I found out today through a podcast! I come from Russia and Cuba, and those countries are both infected by Communism, I feel you and understand you more than noone!

HongKong and Macau. If you compare these two cities, then you will realize how Hong Kong's ruin cannot solely attributed to CCP. There are so many other factors at play.
Macau and Hong Kong can't be compared, they had different fathers who raise them very differently.
@@Blaze6432 So you are assuming that it's "father's fault"
Macau was a tiny island leased to Portugal in 1557 for tradding porpuse. It was never taken by force or as a result of a war deal like hong kong.
"...both parties were interested in the role Macau would play as a trade and culture gateway. China also wanted Portuguese help in fighting piracy"
Sounds like typical wumao logic: deflect any and all responsibilities for mistakes onto others, which I find to be a very typical Chinese trait.
I guess that too explains why China epitomizes what The Lord of The Rings stated, of how evil can never create; it can only corrupt.

Hong Kong never had a general election in Britain Colonial era. UK just sent a random guy to be Hong Kong mayor. not sure how Hong Kong had democracy if they can't even elect a mayor.
Yah they also didn't have smart phones back then so I guess they don't want them now..... oh wait wanting democracy had nothing to do with the British, it was because HK was an open society where even the British could be criticized

I've returned to HK in Feb 2019 after living in UK since 1969. It pained me to see so much destruction and inconsideration by the rioters. The national security law eventually calmed down the riots and finally return HK to function normally. That is quite a different narrative from the Anglo Saxon countries. UK took the opportunity to grab our top earners like doctors, leaving us far more exposed to short staffing in government hospitals. Hong Kongers are definitely not grateful for that! Still, we have a far better health service than the UK NHS! Top life expectancy in the world.

2:55 Bruh what a name
That's why Tokyo gets more popular and we never heard HongKong since.
Not unless you're Peter Zeihan, making bold statements of how Hong Kong's longer term prospects are better than the mainland Beijing's--given what he said could happen by 2030--and it's not like The Hill's Saager & Krystal have noticed on 3 separate occasions on how still plausibly right he is.
Britain didn’t give HK back to China because of some agreement. Had Britain cared about HK’s democracy, it would have let HK elect their own leaders. Britain had to give HK back to China was because Britain invaded HK and signed a 99 year lease with China, and Britain had to leave when the lease was over.
Wrong ... the lease was for the New Teritories. HK Island and Kowloon were British colonies by treaty and could have remained so. But as NT amounted to about 75% of the HK landmass, it was unrealistic to return NT and expect the HK and Kowloon to function normally. The "border" between Kowloon and NT is not marked by fences or towers, it is a line on a street map. Impossible to divide. There would be a border unlike anywhere else in the world, not even Gibraltar or ceuta / Melilli could compare Think of the Berlin Wall, but much worse

Also, to make any kind of implications, which I assume from your tone that you are, such as that we ought to judge what China's doing now in comparison to the British acquisition is quite disgusting.

This video should explain more about the agreement that stated HK would remain autonomous until 2047. I'm watching it wondering why hong Kongers expect so much (which is the exact line of the CCP).
Exactly, the agreement was no changes for 50 years. To remain a status quo. But instead some pushed their luck. Everyone knew this agreement was for a transition period.
Now that China has the strength, it doesn't need to make any agreement with the West. Europe is still at war, and China should be very happy.
Beijing will not Genuinely abolish “one country, two systems” even after 2047, because HK serves as a hub for the money laundering of Chinese bigwigs.
Hong Kongers just like the rest of the western leaders natively believed CCP would follow what they agreed on such as the Sino-British Joint Declaration on HK future, the WTO promising the openness of china’s market, the verbal agreement with President Obama to not militarize the reefs in South China Sea.
1990s while Eastern Europe getting rid of the communist and Soviet colonialism to move forward to freedom and democracy Hong Kong has been deteriorating itself from a liberate country to a communist Chinese colony. Biggest mistake since ww2 ever
