The Chinese Communist Party will destroy Hong Kong before it will let it leave
What a bunch of Hong Kong Phooey!
From the article:
That is a picture of Mao Tse Tung’s LONG MARCH. Definitely NOT Hongkong.
Hong Kong needs to follow the lead of Brexit.
Then there’s the South Africans setting up shop in Russia.
“The smart money in Hong Kong has already set up shop in Vancouver,San Francisco,Sydney or London.”
I was last there in 1991. The smart money was already in the process of leaving before the 1997 turnover. Even as a tourist the evidence was everywhere. Billboards, in the newspapers, rents were dropping because housing was opening up. I felt like I was watching history, and I was.
The rents went back up quickly. Housing cost in HK are astronomical right now. $1,000,000 USD for 350 square feet in Shatin or MaOn Shan.
Lots of people left and then came back. Now they are leaving again
I’m sure they did. I wonder how many mainland Chinese moved to Hong Kong in the past couple decades for the little bit of extra freedom?
I would love to go back to Hong Kong again. An amazing city.
I think it’s actually very difficult for somebody from Mainland China to move to Hong Kong.
In the 10 weeks between Obama’s election and taking office America lost 2 million jobs. Small business knew what was in store for them even though the NY-D.C. axis didn’t have a clue as to why. Hong Kong residents can only hope the protests spread to the mainland. No turning back because there’s nowhere to go.
Millions will lose their freedom to leftist thugs.
Democrats will rejoice.

Sadly the Chi-coms will have no problem sending in tanks like they did in Tiananmen Square to crush any exit move by Hong Kong or calls for democracy. However, in these days of instant communication via the Internet, the brutalities of the Communist regime in China will not be so easily covered up. How the West will react is another question. Trump has had no problem with taking on China with trade sanctions and in reaction to a massacre of pro democracy protesters even Trumps hardened critics would hard pressed to say anything negative.
The bottom line is that Hong Kong is part of the PRC. That is not going to change. The assimilation likely will occur thirty years earlier than planned. The US and world opinion be damned. Taiwan should take note.
Most recent party line propaganda.
United Front crap from Beijing.
“Im sure they did. I wonder how many mainland Chinese moved to Hong Kong in the past couple decades for the little bit of extra freedom?”
That’s always been Hong Kong.
Except the last 20 the ChiComs have been moving pro-ChiCom Chinese in to Hong Kong.
