Ofc the economist is the british billionaire rag. So im guessing some english folks are still sore about their oriental hotspot being taken away from them.

Yes, the city certainly is for the better now that it is a pawn of the politburo.

Emphatically yes. HK needs socialist reform or it will collapse under the contradictions of capitalism that the British forced upon them for a century.

How dare a Chinese city demonstrate free thought. No wonder your handlers are so desperate for Taipei.

I don't know what "free thought" you're referring to but I'm guessing its the sinophobic "all chinese are braiwashed" trope.

Taiwan is legally internationally the province of China. The only desperation is the seperatist DPP party being funded by imperialists as a proxy nation against the CPC. They deserve to be crushed but China is very lenient and caring on their renegade province (Taiwan also suffers from capitalism and bourgeois democracy).
