Hong-Kong Protests

It's good to hear a fellow Cantonese person here. I take it you're not from Hong Kong though. So let explains the quirk of the judges and other professions in Hong Kong.

It all basically stem from the colonial days. Back then, ANY British subject has the right to work in Hong Kong and make their fortune and takes it back home with them to retire.
Of course, this is a one way traffic. As Hong Kongers wanting to go to any British empire territories would have to jump through large number of hurdles.

Anyway, so here we have it. Because of this quirk. Any British people can work and live in Hong Kong. It also means they can obtain a Hong Kong ID card after 7 years living in Hong Kong. So these people is happy to keep their British passport, AND still participate in FULL all Hong Kong political and social activities as if they were Hong Kongers.

Case in point, Jimmy Lai who's born in China, but has Hong Kong ID card (on the ground of loving there for 7 years). And holds a Canadian passport!

So these foreign judges with foreign passports can participate in all things Hong Kong because they have ID card. Which entitled them to even sit in Hong Kong's court to pass judgement on recent event with a bias view.

Don't get me wrong, it works the other way as well. Like the English police officer I posted here a few months back shouting "you're a disgrace" to one of the law-majers out on the street supporting the rioters.

Yeah I am in Canada. It wasn't until the riot where the blue side start making youtube video explaining the whole judicial structure. I always thought that foreign judge were invited to move to Hong Kong as a citizen (not just getting an HKID), and become a judge locally, even if they have foreign passport, however from the explanation that went on for the past few months, it is like we have outsourced the judges and their loyalty are questionable.

Good news, Chinese medics arrived from China to help with new outbreaks in Hong Kong. Let's see how the MSM try to spin this as a negatives.

Yes one paragraph about Medics coming to HK and that "some councillors" suspect they will be collecting DNA for Beijing, followed by a full page of rehash about the NSL
Might be worth asking if test samples in your country are being used to provide DNA samples to national law enforcement, since it seems the obvious thing to do to them.

Not only judges, all those Hong Kongers like Jimmy Lai. (And they are many, some even said Carrie Lam or somebody higher up had a foreign passport. Can't remember).

I think people in important positions should be made to give up their foreign nationalship. And before people cries foul, and typical commie draconian, blah blah. Look at USA, one can't even be POTUS if one is born outside the USA.

You cannot be a fight pilot in the UK unless you were borne in the UK or a commonwealth country. Even if you are a British citizen it is not enough.

I suspect there are far more positions unavailable to people not borne in western nations than most would realise.

Unbelievable, something as positive and simple as sending medics into help, Chinese authority also showed sensitivity by sending medics from southern Guangdong province (presumably Cantonese dirlect and assent would be the same to put locals at ease).

This somehow get turned into DNA and national security law being imposed, how the Chinese agent can operate in Hong Kong with impunity, blah blah.

AND here's the killer, this new law has been criticised internationally. Leading readers in believing it is internationally unpopular, never mind majority of countries are with China on this.

But nowhere it says the BBC is the mouthpiece of the British government.

Didn't know that. So just to make clear, to qualify for a fighter pilot in the UK. It is on the same criteria as POTUS!

But commonwealth country, is this white commonwealth only?

lol, I remember I was debating with a HK protester in real life back in Oct 2019, I said: "You think HK Police are brutal, you have never seen US police. If they experience petrol bombs, they would immediate shoot everyone with bullets, no warnings at all. US police brutality is far worse." And guess what? It's true. His reaction: "every place has different standards!" OK, but why they wave the US Flags like idiots, ask for US liberation?? Also, I said nobody died due to HK police brutality, but US police kills many people. His reaction " so many deaths, have you seen Apple Daily. Here, you should download Apple Daily on your phone, great reading."

Then I realized Apple Daily was that Jimmy Lai Hanjian traitor idiot, holy shit.

I feel bad for him, because he said: "I am looking out for the best interest of HK people", but who can honestly say that HK is better off today than before? HK IS FAR WORSE OFF because of the radical idiots colluding with foreign gov'ts to sanction HK. Then US abandoned HK after it's usefulness ran out by sanctioning HK (WUT?)... ultimate fail.

Apply daily needs to be removed, just boycott Apple daily so that they don;t have anymore revenues.
