  1. 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. 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.

  4.  @raihan8097  lol, the US media just loves to avoid calling them “Muslims,” so they aren’t hypocrites.

  5.  @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.

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

  9. Yup. Xi is actually trying to eliminate poverty in China, so they are on their way up. HK has been controlled by the corrupt British and Four Families for so long that they are suffering from their exit scam now. All the while blaming the CCP.
