  1. On that level, all lifeforms are equal.

  2. For their sake, I hope they have visited Scotland many times before and have developed connections and a community for them to seamlessly transition into. Unfortunately, nothing about them in this interview indicates a smooth move. Just because they were colonized by the British, does not mean they can just be plugged in anywhere in the UK. And with Anti-Asian sentiment running high, I don’t think they will find themselves very welcome anywhere. Trust me, to them, you’re not HK; you’re Chinese.

  3. The arrested rioters should be sentenced to clean up duty.

  4. “Nothing scarier than staying.” Uh, you been to Scotland?

  5. What reason does the House Speaker have for being in Taiwan? How is that in her job description? And what’s the purpose of instigating more conflict? Have they not learned from Russia?

  6. There are some services that have an option to buy “exclusive” use of the footage. Same thing happened during the Super Bowl where 2 commercials got caught using the same stock footage because they were too cheap to buy the exclusive rights (after spending millions on a super bowl ad...)

  7. The housing crisis is caused by a handful of land tycoons that artificially restrict supply. This is something China is trying to clamp down on. Of course, their help will not be appreciated by HKers.

  8. I really hope they have visited Scotland many times before and are well-connected there. Doubt it. Just because you’ve been colonized by the UK, does not mean the river flows the other direction. I fully expect them to suffer culture shock and regret their decision.

  9. He should have taken the dog to the vet pronto, instead of walking away. And he should euthanize his pit bulls so he doesn’t have any more financial burden. He didn’t try for $hit, only guilty he got caught.

  10. The US only likes free trade if they are on the winning end.

  11. They may stay in the US to join BLM protests and see how differently America treats them.

  12.  @raihan8097  lol, the US media just loves to avoid calling them “Muslims,” so they aren’t hypocrites.
    17
  13.  @bv2011  not to mention Scottish dialects and vernacular. If they think it’s anything like the British pubs in HK, they are in for a rude awakening.

  14. Maybe she will get Covid again.

  15. “Fight the war there, so you don’t have to fight it here,” is just another way of describing the exporting of suffering another country. If done incorrectly, you can end up generating more anger. Afghanis will not forget what happened.

  16.  @Infiltrator_  helped Japan after nuking it twice. Split Korea in 2. Illegally invaded Yugoslavia. But yeah, please list more. Interested in South America, Africa, South Asia, and Middle East.

  17. They’ve been brainwashed by British superiority all their lives in HK.

  18. Yup, the populists are blaming the wrong things. If anything, it appears China is actually trying to help these people escape from the tycoons.

  19. HK was always a city of China. The Brits occupied it until 1997 when they returned it to its rightful owners.

  20. It’d be like officials from Beijing flying to Texas to greet Texans wishing to secede. The US wouldn’t stand for it either.

  21. You mean being colonized?

  22. CIA $$$

  23. If the British truly cared, they’d offer to grant them full citizenship with no strings attached. But the truth is, the Brits always consider HKers second class, even in HK.

  24. China: you couldn’t live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me.

  25.  @dannyisnow1004  why do they “deserve” independence?
    5
  26. Lol, the US don’t want no foreigners. They just enjoy destabilizing other countries and take no responsibility.
    5
  27.  @rolandkatsuragi  but they weren’t British nationals. HKers were second class citizens to their British masters.
    5
  28.  @rolandkatsuragi  that’s not the same as British citizenship or being a national. If it were, then they can just move to Britain.
    5
  29.  @dannyisnow1004  but how does that entitle them to independence? Just because they want it?
    4
  30.  @dannyisnow1004  I think you’re still not understanding. Just because someone wants and deserves something, does not mean they get it.

  31. Are harsh truth that seems to escape most HKers.

  32. If he could get a gun, the mob could get guns too. Then he’d be outgunned. Nothing was solved, and things would just get worse.

  33. Hong Kong played themselves.

  34.  @close_all_tabs taking off your patch and calling yourself a “trainer,” “advisor,” “consultant,” or merc does not absolve you of being a foreign soldier.

  35.  @rainydays7027  it bombed a military target. It did not nuke NY and LA.

  36. Spring what qualifies you to make an intelligent vote? What about the guy flipping burgers? Voting is overrated.

  37.  @nancynahnigoh3550  what are you even talking about?

  38.  @christian3050  seen this exact same thing copy/pasted. Looks like CIA bots hard at work.

  39.  @paulmac8450  exactly. HKers have a romantic view of Britain; I think some of them think Scotland is “close enough.”

  40.  @themelon_1785  why should HK be independent? Just because they want? Mt Rushmore has been declared property of Native Americans, but the US Govt doesn’t leave. Independence doesn’t come just because some people want it.

  41. Basically, anyone that doesn’t share their radicalized ideals is branded a traitor?

  42. In the UK, they are helpless. If they make any trouble, their visa is denied and they have nowhere else to go.

  43. The West doesn’t want peace. They haven’t said the word once.
    2
  44. Yup, HKers think they are more special than Chinese. Go anywhere else in the world, and they will find out very quickly that’s not true.

  45. For those caught up in semantics, the word “racist” is used when one group unfairly discriminates against another. What else do you want to call it? Race absolutely plays a factor because, I bet if a White person walked in speaking Mandarin, they would be treated like a king.

  46. They will get left behind like the Afghans, Kurds, and soon the Ukrainians.

  47.  @Infiltrator_  my comment still stands.

  48.  @bearsagainstevil  it’s not like China goes around colonizing other countries and then abandoning them.

  49. @Daniel Ordonez and how would they do that? Just because America has lost to underdog opponents?

  50. The nukes that are now understood to have been unnecessary, yet Japan is still a vassal of the US.
