The HK riots were western-backed, fighting to remain under British colonialism. Since the HK riots, things have cooled down considerably, with the majoriry favoring the transition due to improving economic conditions and the benefits of being better-integrated into the socialist economy of China.
Do you know any Hong Kongese people? Because I do, and none of what I have heard from them comes anywhere close to aligning with whatever drivel you’re spouting. Not to mention, Hong Kong was not under British Commonwealth rule or association when the PRC rolled in the better part of a decade ago.
Buddy, I was in HK just a month ago. It’s night and day compared to the shithole it was when occupied by the Brits. Go spew your drivel somewhere else.
Yeah - again, I know people who grew up in Hong Kong and still have family there (and they’re not right-wingers, to be clear). They were perfectly fine and happy with being administered by the PRC - frankly, there are a lot of benefits to that.
But the crackdown on civil rights and democratic rule was the thing that caused so much protesting. And the crackdown incited the protests and riots, not the other way around - it was effectively a police riot that kicked all that off. A concept I’m familiar with, by the way, as a unitedstatesian, because our police are generally pieces of shit, moreso than the general baseline.
