It doesn’t seem to me that there’s no reason for standing up for own freedom if the alternative is moving halfway across the world and abandoning beloved home for a country where, frankly, climate is worse, the chance of getting mugged is real, and where one would belong to a minority. Hong Kong culture is in no small part traditional Chinese culture, which existed in that area for many years. The other part is the British cultural influence. Unfortunately, HK’s “parent entity” prior to British rule technically no longer exists; there is now a new communist country to the north. Becoming absorbed by it entails giving up valuable parts of HK’s unique culture (which includes freedom of speech); assimilating in the UK would mean giving up other parts of it. It is only natural to want neither of these outcomes.
