Hong Kong lost their fight against their oppressors, sadly. It’s now a police state run under authoritarian rule, slowly but surely erasing every shred of the freedoms and uniqueness they had.
Not really a tourist destination any more, hardly surprising :-(
Which, surely, explains why tourism in the rest of the Bay Area is shooting up?
the food scene in hk has collapsed. there is no longer any nice food to eat. everything is the same mainland china cuisine, which everyone hates. tasteless, oily, bland and sometimes very nauseating. there is not a single world class chef which supports this cuisine, yet the mainland china government had ordered that it be the only cuisine on offer. Lots of restauranteurs have been disappeared for offering anything different.

Stupid car brain
While there is a political component to it, the real issue is that the HKD is too strong now and the cost of touristing in HK is very visible.

A route back? I doubt China is willing to free Hong Kong just to save tourism.
Hong Kong is a part of China. Always was, always will be Chinese land. The British Empire had failed, they stole the land but under Chinese might they ran away.

When i went there 2 weeks ago and the people i talk to end their sentences about the current situation by saying “Shhh”. I wouldnt consider that very free…
As long as they’re under the dominion of Han Chinese, that’s what really matters, right? It couldn’t be that people don’t want any dominion at all, could it?

That people who desire self determination should be able to have it, that they should not be expected to be ruled by whomever is most powerful and happens to be ethnically similar. I think states should be based on a shared history and philosophy rather than ethnically segregating them to suit China.

Didn’t you know, you can only be anti imperialist against Russia and China and some middle east countries( minus israel, because their god said that they can slaughter as many other humans as they want)
Don’t you dare be anti imperialist against the US empire and it’s European colonial proxies.
And didn’t you know people from the global west are definitely not propogandised at all. Only the enemies of their colonial governments are propogandised because who wouldn’t want the US empire and their proxies controlling their governmment, land, policies, resources, etc.?
I’m sorry. I should have put a /s at the end of my comments
These chuds embrace Russia and Chinese imperialism with arms wide open.
Hot take is not simping for authoritarianism.
