Hong Kong superstar Charmaine Sheh mistakenly liking a social media post about the protests resulted in a flood of criticism by mainland Chinese netizens.

Who would be proud of being from a country that harvests organs from LIVING political opponents..?

The Chinese demon has been unleashed for some time.
German-Americans had to eventually decide what they were:

German or American

Seems like Hongkongese will make that choice soon too.

It's simple. 華人 Ethnically Chinese but not a People's Republic of a China citizen. He should tell the commie girl that Hong Kong and Taiwan are more Chinese than China. Chinese people, because of the Communists don't even know how to read and write Chinese anymore. For example the above huaren 華人 which refers to ethnic Chinese is 华人 for the commies. They think it's simpler for their subjects to learn. Dragon is 龍. But the commies make it dull and drab 龙。

Obviously, the sensitivity runs high.

I have to say I don’t quite get it. I imagine a similar conversation here:

Me: “Because we from Massachusetts ...”
She: “Stop! You are American! From the United States! Stop saying Massachusetts!”

If the man in the article had said “We from Sichuan ...” would she have also erupted? Is she trying to erase the island of Hong Kong? Seems like it.

Why is the West allowing Communist “students” into their countries?

My advice is to skip the drinks, snacks, and chat. If she won’t just hop in the sack, move on.

When the lease was up the Brits should have returned Hong Kong to the lawful government of all China in exile in Taiwan.

Or just pointed out that the dynasty they made the agreement with no longer existed and so they were under no obligation to its usurpers.

Either way...

As an aside, get rid of any girl who picks a fight on a first date.

For that matter, get rid of any girl who, on a first date, displays any anger period. Believe me, things will only get worse.

How does this work in "speed dating?"

I don’t get it either. Can’t you be from Hong Kong and China? Aren’t the city of Hong Kong and the New Territories considered a province or administrative division of China nowadays?

Is it a cultural thing among ethnic Chinese people, that you are different if from Hong Kong or Taiwan?

There was a time when States were "countries"...

Wait til the Red Chinese tanks roll into Hong Kong and make it Chinese by force. All the protestors will end up dead or in slave factories making toys for McDonald’s happy meals. Someday soon we will discover the evil that is Red China.

Communism and Islam are similar in that you MUST submit.

I don’t care one way or another. What I do care about is when people bring their old baggage with them to a new country.

Hong Kong and Taiwan aren’t communist, yet.
That’s the rub.

I don’t understand why the USA does business with the evil regime in Beijing.

We need a total trade embargo on that regime and we need to arms the heck out of the Free People of Taiwan!!!

It’s hard to take the Red Chinese seriously as being Chinese when they accept a mad ravings of a 19th Century German as their intellectual and philosophical progenitor.

My husband (retired USMC) thinks the Communists will invade and occupy Hong Kong before the end of the year.
