Now their citizens are sent off to chink prisons without process for merely selling "banned books." I'm sure they rue the day they left the Empire.

Date: April 24th, 2018 2:34 PM Author: Spectacular zippy becky I live here and a lot of people rue the “handover”. Since the arrests of the booksellers, people have been talking about emigration again, and a couple of personal friends are leaving next month with more to come. The British Hong Kong flag is increasingly seen on July 1, the official “handover celebration day”.
I’m white btw and I have a lot of HK friends and love living here, but the days of HK as an important world city are increasingly numbered because Beijing will fuck with this place enough. |

or did London just appoint someone? |
|
Date: April 24th, 2018 2:39 PM Author: Spectacular zippy becky London appointed him but the last governor Patten tried to introduce full democracy into the legislature before the handover, for which Beijing called him the 1000 year whore of the Orient or something nobody’s hands are clean on this, but the only thing that matters now is that China made treaty guarantees about HK but they are ignoring them |
|
Date: April 24th, 2018 2:46 PM Author: drab unholy menage affirmative action so China's treaty with the UK (or the Basic Law or whatever it's called) said HK would be able to elect own chief executive and legislature, but then Beijing modified it so that only a pre-selected pool of candidates are eligible?
