congrats I guess. most cults and psychopaths will drown you in praise and love. I'm sure they have lots of reasons to want Western friends. time will tell how sweet your deal really is

Dude what planet are you on lol It's the same "deal" that everyone gets in HK regardless of whether they are born here or anywhere else. The things I care about are tax burden, regulatory burden, physical infrastructure, free markets and 0 tax on imports, a constitutional right to monetary freedom and 0 capital gains tax, personal freedom and being left alone by the government (e.g. don't tell me I can't enjoy a can of beer on the street with my friends), not being coerced into a medical experiment or be locked in my home because of a flu, not being arrested on behalf of the US when I release a video they don't like or write some software they don't like, etc etc etc What I really *don't* care about is whether or not CNN or the BBC says I'm "free", I can figure that out for myself.
