Hong Kong Is Slipping Away
- knudsen80 6y agoThis is very sad to see. I lived in Hong Kong in 2011-2012 and you could already see the tension whenever "mainlanders" came over, bought suitcases, then filled them up on luxury shopping trips. A lot of the spirit I saw from the people of HK seemed similar to that of Americans: fiercely independent, very entrepreneurial, and believed that things kept getting better.
- simonblack 6y agoWhere is it slipping away to? The US itself now treats Hong Kong just like any other Chinese city. Hong Kong is just yet another Chinese city.
