China really should thank the British for helping so many wannabe traitors and 5th columnists to self nominate for Darwin Awards and help China cleanse HK of all those trash people.

It’s kinda funny how it used to be that the best and brightest would leave China for the west, but these days it’s increasingly the best and brightest who return to the motherland while the trash people go the other way.

I don't want to sound too optimistic but I think that the periodic mass riots in Hong Kong are a thing of the past. Given that they used to happen at around 5 year intervals (Anti-Article 23 movement, occupy central, Umbrella movement, Anti-extradition riots) I think that every year there are no mass protests makes it more likely that there won't be for the foreseeable future. I used to think that the NSL would only quiet them for 5 years (2019-2024) but it seems it was a silver bullet that killed their movement for good.

Probably a combination of NSL and the cutoff of the fundings.

I think any type of anti-gov protest will get crushed immediately these days. Also 2000 got big boy jailed this time around vs maybe < 10 people in the 20 years prior with 8000 other cases still on file. I suspect those cases will be on file for the next 20-30 years even if they have no plan to prosecute some/most of them.

China has obviously been rising the past 5 years in power away from being cheap manual labor and the west has self admittedly falling... HKers are greedy and naturally jumping to the winning side. Many haters are in the UK working day labor jobs and some powerless are still in hk coping. They don't even have the courage to move to seek a better future... so they won't have the courage to organize further...
