Do you have data or reference to back them? Surely there could be rich kids among the protestors, but is that a majority of them?
- baybal2 7y agoHK is just across the river from me, and I lived enough on both sides to know how the social architecture of both countries works The best proof of what I said is that all convenience stores and seven elevens are fully staffed, and running. Janitors, taxi drivers continue to work like nothing happened. HK Poly is more or less preserving minimal functioning, but HK University is effectively defunct now. All kinds of banks, business services companies work in severely reduced capacity. All of well of Hongkoners I know myself either: 1.) ran away to Mainland, 2.) ran away to Vancouver, 3.) are on the streets right now

Are they doing it everyday now? > All of well of Hongkoners I know myself either: 1.) ran away to Mainland, 2.) ran away to Vancouver, 3.) are on the streets right now So, among them, what kind runs away, and what kind goes to the street?
- baybal2 7y agoThe first question. No way to attest that for me, do your guess from other news. The super rich of HK are surely out, they do so every time when there is trouble. Hongkongers who bought foreign property or passports in past years are certainly moved out by now too. So, that leaves your typical petit bourgeois behind. Clerks, government workers, part of white collar workforce
