Purged CIA MI6 . HK so clean now. No late to work without riot road block. No more riot burning elder alive...

Hong Kong was ceded to Britain under a 99 year lease in 1898. The spoils of the Opium wars in which China lost the fight to stop Britain’s forced importation of Opium into the country.

Just look at how they even try to shut the guest down in the end when he suggests that they are probably going to lean towards moderation than hard-line... A great example of how fake freedom of speech is. You get heckled in America for actually trying to tell the truth on the news.

Very happy to see that Hongkong is back to stabilization. Those who participated in insurrection has been thrown away just like those who attacked Capital on January 6. Any Country needs stabilization. People just want to live their normal life

Great to see President Xi attend HK 25th anniversary returning to motherland China. Happy for Hong Kong returning to calm after 2019 storm incited by foreign powers.

Wealth inequality in the United States
The top 20% of Americans owned 86% of the country's wealth and the bottom 80% of the population owned 14%. In 2011, financial inequality was greater than inequality in total wealth, with the top 1% of the population owning 43%, the next 19% of Americans owning 50%, and the bottom 80% owning 7%..

He have a meeting hunter 🤔 is it time to bring back the 10% for the big guy again already 🤣

[kkt]

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!

How/why did the British give Hong Kong back over to this insane country?

[timothyhunter]

The CCP's YT comment efforts are pretty embarrassingly low-effort.
