Hong-Kong Protests

We don't have settlement rights in the UK, only eligible for BNO. That said the Brits had a scheme to grant full British Citizenship for 50,000 Hong Kong families under the recommendation of the Hong Kong Governor back in 1990. Since both my parents completed university studies in the UK and worked in favorable industries, they were granted British Citizenship. That's how I subsequently inherited British Citizenship alongside my status as a Hong Kong Permanent Resident when I was born. The scheme really was a way to "steal" investment from the "upperclassmen of Hong Kong", which is very much like what Foreign Minister Dominic Raab is proposing right now in response to the National Security Law and a need to pump in money into the British economy after Brexit. Anyways many of these families used the scheme to immigrate before the Handover, but funny enough a lot of these families find themselves back in Hong Kong now (at least that's been the case of most of our "upperclass" family friends).



As a pilot, I thought it best to show you how far China has come in the world of aviation. This is Bejing's second and newest airport that just opened this year, Daxing Airport features four runways and is one of the largest single terminal airports in the world. Funny enough the airline that just made me redundant (a certain airline that flies the British Flag) was going to be the first foreign carrier into Daxing prior to the pandemic.

If you went north of Hong Kong up the Pearl River Delta, you'll find Shenzhen. The PRC established it as one of its first Special Economic Zones. They say a picture is worth a million words, and I'll just post this instead:

Shenzhen is the Silicon Valley of China, it is home to tech firms, and is quickly becoming a Fin-tech hub. All I have to say is that the west's understanding of China is quickly becoming outdated. Back in Hong Kong people are saying we've truly returned to China, and I for one am excited for what the PRC has planned for the city with the shackles of the west finally being removed. With trade wars and tech embargos kicking off, I can totally see how the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is leveraged to compete on an even larger scale. Might be wishful thinking, but I could picture corporations delisting off the NYSE or NASDAQ and getting behind the HKSE.


As a pilot, innuendo forms the foundation and backbone of my humor. That said I have to be SOOOOOO careful now of what I say without offending snowflakes and #metoo-rainbow-unicorn liberals alike... So is my speech all that free???
Hi all, this is my first post although I’ve been lurking for 10 years on SDF. Regarding the photos of “old Hong Kong “, I’m very sure the 1920 caption is that of Kuala Lumpur. Not HK.

One word to say on this:

Traitor!
Probably best to send him straight in India now to let the coronavirus + shit infested atmosphere there to sort that traitorous shit out. The moment you start waving any flag especially the Indian flag in you home land means that not only you endorse racism, backstab era and rapist, but also means that nothing less then death by a thousand cuts is what that bastard deserves

As my tutor often set essay questions for us when we were students. Compare and contrast!

I know this isn't Hong Kong, but someone did mentioned about flags etc. And the thugs were waving all kind of flags like the US and the UK. Heck, we even had an Indian flag that I posted here a few post ago.

So it looks like a 'free democratic country' is not so free like Hong Kong after all.

Let's us rejoice at the other night of what happens when you insist to come out and disturbed ordinary folks out and about having their rights to peace and tranquillity disturbed by the likes of you. Crying doesn't turn back the clock.

If only they had an upbringing like these adorable kids.

Finally, remember Mr T argued strongly about journalists integrity. Etc. if ever proof is needed to control these fake profession. Here it is.

Wow. He's some kind of superman.

Is it a priest, is it a first responder, is it a teacher? No it's a journalist!

Not really, British people have been living in Hong Kong for over a century, so it's understandable that some would still be in the HK police. Alternatively he might have thought there was a job opportunity if he moved to HK - he could even be related to some of the police officers who used excessive force to break up the miners' strikes in the 1980s. ;)

I don't disagree with much of what you've written here. Including the miners' bit.

But however, as usual, you've missed my point completely. So I'll try my best to state my point.

My point isn't that there are English people working as policemen in Hong Kong. As you pointed out, there have always been English people working as policemen in Hong kong. In fact, most of these in the days of British colonial rule is, in fact, discriminatory as they always given officers rank. They are never without any rank.

Be that as it may, my point regarding the British public being confused is that the vast majority of the British public brought up on the diet of the 'great impartial' BBC. And Having seen through their BBC commentary of the Hong Kong police force 'brutality' under China's draconian leadership. All of a sudden, found out that some of these policemen in charge is..... in fact Englishmen. So it's not quite cricket old boy. Which would caused confusion and might even blow their head gaskets!


Of course, if you meant to say that you have confidence in his abilities to fairly and proportionately police a protest because he's British, then that's a very nice thing for you to say about the UK police.

Yes. I do say that, and that's not because he is British. It is because he is a human being with the sense of duty and law abiding ethics to boot.

Let us remind ourselves what this brave British policeman said.


And what the thugs did to his family.


I never get tired of watching these two videos. Which is why I saved it on my phone. And it us these two videos I showed to my friends when they comes out with the usual lines about Hong Kong and China. The lines I know they only got it through the BBC and their tabloid.

And when I showed them these videos, the expression on their faces, and the jaw dropped with disbelief. I can literally see their minds racing to make some sense of this, but failing badly. After all they can't accuse one of their own of brutality? Right. So usually, my friend stay silent and walked away with tails between their legs. It's priceless.

So just as it was entertaining to see them running away with tails between their legs. It is equally interesting to see how your mind do a Nadia Comanci, or Olga korbet or my fav, Nellie Kim.

This is more like it. Sanity returns. A flag raising ceremony at the polytechnic university of Hong Kong.

The scene where the most virulent stand held at a university Campus in Hong Kong. Where the "kitchenman" swears that the only way he's going to leave is when they take him out in a coffin.

This was the thugs last stand. The bastion of their defiance. And look at it now. If this is what can happens, I think it's game, set And match for the thugs. They have been abandoned by their handlers with the chief in hospital. Money running out. International attention zero. It really is the end for them.

After seeming this clip, I was thinking just how much freedom the citizens of Hong Kong have. And the western MSM keeps on about lack of freedom.

This woman was calling police, "black police", and how much safer and nicer Hong Kong would be without them. Etc. Basically being very nasty and unpleasant to the police. Yet, not a hintbof the police 'brutality' is visible. The Hong Kong police have the patience of a saint!

If this woman was doing this in the US or the UK. I wonder how soon she'll be saying "I can't breathe".

Really stupid news here

But you know, at least they are somewhat consistent. Earlier this summer the courts ruled that the USA violates human rights of refugees, and refugees that escape the USA should be allowed to claim asylum in Canada.
Now if they start accepting American citizens themselves, I cannot criticize at all, lol.

Here is something that really gets me though.

Western countries, because of their political alignment, are totally ignoring the very true and alarming reality that much of the HK riots of 2019 was essentially a far-right wing movement. I read an interview with the Pepe the frog creator what he thought about his character being both an icon of racism and democracy (in HK). This is what most western media gets so wrong. They adopted his iconography because most of the HK fully identifies with the American far right ideas (anti-immigration, HK identity/supremacy over mainlanders, isolation from PRC).

Why do they reject this simple explanation, when it is right in front of their eyes? What kind of mental gymnastics does a journalist do to justify this stand? Are they just ignornant, or just willing ideological soldiers?

Here is an article about a Quebec anti-mask protest and how many of them are Quebec nationalists that identify with the American alt-right. For the CBC, it is easy for them to align the two ideologies together in Quebec, but somehow not in HK. Yet in HK you had Azov Batallion guys, Patriot prayer Joey Gibson, etc.

Summary in two pictures:

Hypocrisy is the West telling you it's about white supremacy. They get to do things that they tell you you cannot. That's telling you they're the ones in power and race and nationality play a role in their laws and rules. Don't believe it's a mistake on their part and they just don't understand the situation. They fully understand it because it's as simple as seeing someone's race where the lines are drawn. There have been some comedic TV news shows in the US that are accused of being leftist where they have pointed to Hong Kongers' affinity for Trump but in the end they still side with Hong Kongers because of their hierarchy. Hong Kongers who worship the West are more important that Mainland Chinese who don't.
