The sooner the Hong Kongers realise that they and China's well being are interwined the better. They must prosper together as one country

China people always say rise of the east and the fall of the west 2 years ago & they mean it.

Actions speak louder than words. China must stop negative and destructive deeds before befriending others.

22:44 fascinating I’ve noticed since Megan Thee Stallion made a Japanese song, lots of black Americans have gone to Tokyo and other places in Japan, and after the pandemic, a lot of people think about their bucket list and I’m sure Japan is on a lot of people’s bucket list

I’m currently learning Korean because I want to go to Korea in my lifetime

U$A : We come to protect SCS
China : Thanks, 85% shipment are for China.

European :
Why do our friends the U$, Germany, NZ and Australia all go to maintain peace in the South China Sea, but don't come to help our shipment through the Red Sea in crisis? 75% is ours.

The U$ has framed international politics as a struggle between democracies and autocracies.
Divide the world into two competing ideological blocs: democratic nations in one camp and the rest in another.
This mindset revives an unhelpful Cold War-era framework that split nations into rival groups on Manichean terms, usually preventing cooperation across a range of vital issues.

How about Taiwan education fee and Malaysia education fees ? Because a lot of chinese in Malaysia are attending education in Taiwan ?

H.Kong housing crises. H.Kongers should by now knew that their soul are not only confined to a small special administrative territory . Their soul are now could excess much larger territory then before. Take the advantages to penetrate the mainland & adopt it as a new home .

This is where the excess houses on the mainland could solved their housing crises. The prices have dropped tremendously from some news lately. Probably, this could solve some of the problems related to having a home.

I believe those H.kong citizens who have migrated to England during the turbulence times, many of whom may want to consider to return to their homeland as the current situations over impulsive migrations )
And if the H.Kong goverment may work out with the mainland on amnesty or whatsoever, those people ( or some ) may wish to return & those unsold houses on the mainland could be sold to them. Who knows some of them may want to return. How costly is living over there ?

For better world

Do you expect us to believe in China?...no sincerity on the horizon of SCS and WPS.😢
