"What would you say has been the impact of the National Security Law brought in five years ago? I think that it restored calm. In 2019, the city was as chaotic [as] I saw during the early days of the Cultural Revolution. There was violence, there was chaos. Traffic was stopped, and my wife and I were somewhat fearful of going out [and] speaking Mandarin, because some Mandarin speakers were beaten up on the streets. There was a very strong anti-mainland tone among the protestors. We actually considered moving somewhere else, because we didn’t feel that Hong Kong was very safe." ... so the 0.001% didn't feel safe during a revolution against inequality. who would have thought? and it definitely was because they spoke Mandarin and not because they were extremely rich. /s
