exactly .. same thing with LKY statement on taiwan
This situation developed through time, when the HK and other Chinese living outside of China, thought they were better off with their prosperity while mainland Chinese were poor and underprivileged. Culture has its richness which cannot be altered or trivialized. Prosperity can; now that it is happening it is normal for the mainland Chinese to feel superior. It is their turn and has to be accepted as normal
Some arrogant people in Hong Kong thought they were "superior", such that as citizens of a "special" city of China, should be able to sit on equal grounds with the white Brit and CCP to "negotiate" on issues of the transition... But the truth is? Looking back today (19.08.27): Although Tang had the wisdom and open mind to give Hong Kong people a chance of 50 years to show mainland people that they are indeed "better", it takes a mere 22 years for the world to see Tang had been fooled... Today, many cities in China have already surpassed Hong Kong in almost every way - establishments, life and people quality. Yet Hong Hong has deteriorated into a city full of irrational madness; a city full of poor quality people with a mentality low enough to destroy a place they live, plus a majority of silent cowards who have no guts to stand up against bullies. Democracy American style will not work for Hong Kong, at least as of today... People here do not have the wisdom/mentality to make logical/rational judgments/decisions.
