It's not like I like you or anything, you don't have any freedom. I just enjoy greater purchasing power that's all.

Too many people these days shit on the central government in general and Taiwan Affairs Office in particular for being soft. People have this view that the central government either does nothing or it's full on AR/nuclear exchange with US. In much the same way that back during the Hong Kong crisis people thought the options were do nothing and let a coloured revolution happen or send in the tanks and drive over protestors. In reality though there's a lot of middle ground in between the two extremes and central government is likely to use such a middle ground option.

One thing is for certain: before you know it (ex?) DPP might have a new ass to kiss before the decade is out.

Unironically true. You've had generations of humans so used to kissing ass that if you were to raise them up, they would hate you for it, because they would see you as equal to them and try to kick you down so you have to kiss their ass, basically the indian or marcos behaviour.

It's more easier to kick out the anglo hegemon and if the remaining Chinese insist on kissing ass, they can start with kissing up to Mao and Xi dada until they achieve sentience and are worthy of being reminded they are a part of Huaxia.

UK has plenty of freedom though. Guess not everyone wants to wash dishes.
Warning: As a UK student the UK is one of the biggest dystopias in the western world. High crime rate, high poverty rate, high illiteracy, lack of funding for the healthcare system, lack of police, lack of funding for schools. The police are so underfunded they don't report on the majority of the crimes which is what the government is using to proudly display "low crime".

Hong Kong BNOers have started to flock to my area especially in London. Most of them are very good people, but very very ideologically challenged. They will go so far as to display an anti-P.R.C banner on a cafe about a 6 minute drive from my house.

This country, and excuse me for my language, is just turning into a pile of horse shit. Kick out the conservatives, kick out labour, stop funding to Israel ,Ukraine and other countries, reinvest that money hre, and maybe prioritize your own citizens instead of a foreign country.

This reminds me of when I had my wallet snatched in Broadway Manhattan. I bumped into a hispanic lady who was all apologetic and keep touching me. When I realized it was unusual within seconds and turned around to look for her. She was gone and my wallet also,

I tried reporting to the police station nearby in broadway. The police officer looked dumbfounded and his immediate answer was "What do you want us to do about it?" I was so infuriated and didn't bother. Thing was I lost my driver license which was my only picture ID. I had trouble on my flight back because I did not have a picture ID for my eticket.

No wonder NYC had a low crime rate as police were discouraging crime reports.
