We beg to differ.
Here is the biggest irony of it all. Hong Kong’s youth are protesting because they believe Hong Kong is special. Why do they (and the rest of the world) believe Hong Kong is special? Simple. Because it was once a British colony and, following that brief break from being Chinese, came out as a postergirl…

The Hong Kong “protests” have now degenerated into a violent and destructive riot. What started as a peaceful “activist” display has become a menace to the very future of the once prosperous former British colony.

In a country where massive pork barrel thievery goes unpunished (and…
