Being born in the USSR, my memories are quite the opposite. Everyone new that Americans have landed on the moon. What's more, I've never heard about 'moon landing hoax' until the end of 90s.

Well, in the same vein you need to prove that democracy is responsible for Hong Kong's success.

That is a straw man. The point is that democracy doesn't automatically mean economic growth and the best example falls short of China's success. In case of China, CCP's policies worked spectacularly well and you need a reason

You missed the word 'exactly'. Can you summarize her work so that it doesn't sound trivial or bogus? Just looking at the titles I expect something similar in quality to articles debunked here: https://arxiv.org
