Millions of moviegoers in Hong Kong are walking out of the latest films, expressing their frustration with the repetitive themes surrounding triads and police. Many perceive a political alignment between the Hong Kong police and triads, which undermines the credibility of the narratives. Viewers are also criticizing the kung fu scenes as amateurish and poorly executed, specifically targeting stars like Andy Lau, Louis Koo, Ekin Cheng, Roger Kwok, Nicholas Tse, and various new mainland actors, arguing that their kung fu performances are simply subpar. Some have humorously suggested that these actors would be better off sticking to singing instead of attempting martial arts. For instance, MMA fighter Xu Xiaodong has pointed out that Chinese kung fu films often lack the skill found in MMA fighting.
Fans lament that while true kung fu masters in China deliver powerful and impressive moves, the fight scenes in Hong Kong films often resemble lackluster slapfests. They refer to the choreography as “girlie kung fu,” lacking the strength and authenticity they expect from martial arts cinema. Moreover, many moviegoers believe that Hong Kong's show-off actors should stop pretending to be kung fu masters like Jet Li, Bruce Lee, and Sammo Hung, as such comparisons only serve to highlight the significant gap in skill and authenticity.

Real communism is characterized by state control of production, where the government owns and operates all industries, eliminating private ownership. Economic decisions are centrally planned, leading to inefficiencies and limited responsiveness to consumer needs. This system lacks incentives for innovation since profits are distributed across society rather than retained by individuals, and the absence of competition stifles creativity and progress. The primary focus of communism is to achieve social equality and eliminate class distinctions, which often discourages entrepreneurial initiatives.
In contrast, capitalism emphasizes private ownership of the means of production, allowing individuals and businesses to own property and make independent economic decisions. The economy is driven by supply and demand, with businesses competing for customers, which fosters innovation and improvement in products and services. The profit motive encourages individuals and businesses to take risks and develop new ideas, while competition drives efficiency and continuous adaptation. Overall, capitalism creates an environment where entrepreneurs can thrive and drive economic progress, whereas real communism does not promote entrepreneurship or innovation due to its inherent structure.
