this leased land/colony BS.
So facts are somehow suddenly considered bullshit to you when it is convenient for your own person narrative? Yes, people like you do indeed disgust me. And nope, I do not need you to care.
I don't remember needing Gordon Chang to care either when I factually labelled him as disgusting. Don't paste gold on your face.
people in HK were not Chinese nationals, full stop.
Nor were they British citizens. They are in fact 2nd class subjects of the British colonial empire who had temporary lease over HK after humiliating and destroying China in the Opium Wars, forcing China to sign unequal treaties and cutting itself apart.
Remember, dogs and Chinese cannot enter any important venues in HK. Oh, and by remember, I mean remember the history and the facts, not remember to be dogs.
she worked many years in downtown Toronto Chinatown, where all the poorest Chinese lived for many years before the kids got better education and jobs to move them out. These are not just Chinese from China or HK, but also many from Vietnam who came to Toronto with nothing. No comparison to the more affluent Chinese who came from 90’s HK, or post 2000’s PRC.
Absolutely irrelevant and nothing to do with the fact that HK is factually an integral part of China historically or in the present. Nor does it change the fact that in the period between the Qing Dynasty and the PRC government, HK was leased to the British after the Opium Wars and the unequal treaties that followed.
Trying to separate HK from China is wrong on every single level, and Olivia should be ashamed of herself. If you do not have any legitimate argument, you can don't reply.
