It's very reasonable to take that anecdote as a decent reference. I grew up in China, speak Mandarin and mostly learned about the world through CCP schools. Most of the kids and their family (and even teachers) are critical of CCP.

Besides, why is submitting news about HK "shilling for mainland China"? Can you elaborate?

There are numerous folks who openly demand a fully independent Hong Kong, one of them actually ran for Legislative Council[0]. I don't think the reason for people not mentioning independence is because they worry about their personal s

The protesters have very specific demands, why do we need to guess? If most of the citizens actually demand full independence, I'm sure they will make themselves heard, like what they are doing now. And who are "most of the world&
