Once again you combine a failure to read with a ridiculous misunderstanding of history. Many HKrs themselves lament the fact they didn’t build democratic institutions like proper elections. I’m guessing you have never spent any time there.
Bad attempt at ad hominem, your favourite card.
Ah, yes, I forgot, only dyed-in-the-wool Tories truly understand history and read with comprehension. I mean look at Brexit, the plan is supremely elaborate, only a Tory genius could devise such a Machiavellian scheme, it's brilliant...
So I need to live somewhere before I can comment on it? What kind of Trumpesque logic...?
Blaming it on HKers is nice, when in reality the UK also passed up opportunities to ensure it in HK...but to expect a foundation of colonisation to grow true democracy, laughable.
I guess anybody who criticises the UK Saudi-bedding thieves ' doesn't understand', anybody who calls them out has a ' ridiculous understanding' of history, simply because it's an uncomfortable truth. They've pillaged, and are irritable because they didn''t see this coming, and now they're berating the Chinese in HK for learning too well from them? Nice.
The Chinese are racist.? Yes, I guess some are. Good thing the Brits never fell prey to that evil, right?
The Brits colonised so many nations for purely philanthropic reasons, The Opium Wars, The Boer War, the long list of egregious violence...it was all a clever disguise, but underneath lurked a humanitarian master-plan...
Yeah, right. And then when the colony changes hands, all of a sudden the locals must have ethics
Do as we say not do as we do?
You're funny, really.
