Hong Kong is Hong Kong, not China

Hong Kong is Hong Kong, not China.

Hong Kong is it's own nation with its own borders, language and culture.

------

I have personal experience with Hong Kong, I lived and worked there back in 2012. I didn't live in central where there are many expats, I stayed in a place called Cheung Sha Wan which is populated mostly by Hong Kongers. During my time there I got to know the people, the city and I learned about the many differences between Hong Kong and China.

The great city-nation of HK became what it is today because of forward-thinking leaders who embraced arts, democracy, entrepreneurialism and principles of liberty.

CCP did not create HK, Hong Kongers made HK - an orderly, culturally rich, economically successful nation comprised of clean streets, very low crime and respectful, hardworking people. (The streets of Hong Kong are among the safest in the world, even safer than our streets here in Australia).

Hong Kong is the greatest side-by-side example of a free nation that developed next to an oppressive nation. Whilst the CCP was systematically torturing and murdering its own people, Hong Kong was thriving as a free nation. Unlike Communist China, citizens of Hong Kong were left free to express themselves, someone like Bruce Lee never could have flourished had he grown up in China, in fact he most likely would have been labelled a "subversive", jailed, or even killed. I wonder how many great Mainland-Chinese thinkers existed that we'll never known about because they were murdered by the CCP?

Freedom runs deep in the veins of Hong Kongers. Many would rather die fighting for freedom than to accept CCP rule, as demonstrated in recent times. How many Hong Kong protesters have been injured, arrested, jailed, tortured and murdered during the protests? The true answer we'll never know.

The Hong Kong Police is not a real police force, it's a sadistic, terroristic enforcement arm of the Chinese Communist Party - a dangerous group of order-takers who at a moments notice are willing to inflict the most violent assaults upon innocent men, women and children.

This violent take-over of a wonderful nation is one of the greatest tragedies of our time and an utterly devastating loss to the world.

Will the world stand by and watch, or will we do something?
