WTH!, this is not the way Hong Kong welcome a guest. This is how North Korean welcomes their leader.

I would love to see if he has the gut to walk on Hong Kong streets with minimum bodyguards.

On July 1, 1997, Hong Kong returned to China. Everything seems to have happened yesterday. It has been 25 years. I wish the motherland prosperity and prosperity.🇨🇳🇭🇰🎉

[a.w.]

As an Overseas Chinese person from the United States, I am so proud of President Xi. China is the Future, and he is making all Chinese Descendants proud... new Chinese Space Station, new Type 055 Destroyers, new Type 003 Fujian Air Craft Carriers. China is already a superpower, and will be the #1 Superpower in the world !

Why is he being treated like his visiting a different country? Does the same happen when he visits Shanghai or chengdu?

[xrc]

How I love the clang of gongs and drums from a lion dance troupe. Never fails to rouse my senses of awe and wonder. In the blink of an eye 25 years have gone by.

Welcome Xi Jinping to Hong Kong. China needs Xi, the world needs China. Jia you China from malaysian Chinese.

The bodyguard walking alongside XI must be the top kungfu master in China!!!

Today we should stop using Cantonese, stop using HK dollar, stop having capitalism with inequality between poor and rich, tell all the foreign money to leave HK. No more, we have had enough! Let all be one with our motherland!! No more Apple, no more Tesla, no more Mcdonalds and Starbucks! It will be China first, this is a new start for HK! Go go go!

[edwardtran]

Why won’t he spend the night? Seems he doesn’t think HK is safe

[cart]

Chinese people should stick together. No one will defend you like your own - not the Brits or the Americans. They can't even help themselves!

"No change for 50 years" has been shortened to "25 years" .

I am from Hong Kong, and I welcome President Xi's inspection work.🤙🤙🤙

[中國台灣省日雜蛙和台]

In the past one hundred years, we have turned a weak country ruled by warlords and oppressed by other countries into a powerful country that can catch the moon in nine days and catch turtles in five seas today. Our forefathers did not complain in troubled times, but built today's new China with full enthusiasm. Comrades, less complaints, more practical actions, a long way to go, will surely live up to the entrustment.

[helloworld]

Long live for the Hong Kong people and the Motherland

[manpreet]

Today it’s my birthday 25 years old me 🎊

[davidwang]

The way they welcome Xi is really weird. It’s not the way how they are supposed to welcome Xi.

[中國台灣省日雜蛙和台]

Born in 1997, I am as old as Hong Kong's return, and I feel very honored. The motherland is strong!

[chelleypachelley]

I love Hong kong, make this country great again….long live President Xi….❤️❤️❤️

Hong Kong is more free and prosperous now than when it was under the colonial UK.
