Comments by "Hari Sadu" (@harisadu8998) on "Colonial Hong Kong’s Racist Past" video.
Bro this video does not take into account that Britain changed its behaviour and colonial ways quickly post 1950s. As time flew by, Britain became less racist and this was the time in which Hong Kong massively developed, under British administrative care but largely with Chinese effort. By the time of handover, the richest Hongkongers were Chinese, not the British. The video is talking about a racist past which Britain largely began to change and make amends for. Every Hong Konger knows that without the British, Hong Kong's development and success was next to impossible.

@michaelteng6076 Are you sure about that? Firstly, China is still developing. HK is developed. So there's one difference there already. Secondly, until the late 80s, China had a terrible economy and it turned around under Deng Xiaoping. Thirdly, western investment and technology transfer fuelled the great rise in Chinese manufacturing. Yes, this was beneficial to Western countries at the time too so one cannot say that they obliged China but without this backing, it would be difficult for China to get access to this kind of technological know-how.
