China is also proping up N korea
their biggest issue is keeping up food supply, yeah
N Korea is a buffer between Beijing and South Korea which is full of Mutt soldiers
What I don't get is why does PRC need to so desperately keep hold of HK?
It's a Chinese territory
historically
taken away by Brits
Like.. just let the island go. They just provide you problems!
in a colonizing attempt
which ruined the Chinese Empire
but comrade colonization is okay when communist do it!
When they gave it up, it was a shithole.
Now it’s an economic powerhouse. They want that.
And yes, as doom implies, there’s a bit of pride there too.
it's a rather important symbol of standing up from their knees
Yea, but the same is true for HK.
it also has to do with HK being the most dangereous to the stability of mainland china
Remember, after WWI China was divided into special interest zones by the winners. DESPITE the fact China didn;t even participate...
its hard to sell people on ideas if you dont speak your langauge
They were fucking dominated to the core by European imperialism
well china did get fucked and raped a bit at that time
A decade ago, maybe. The internet is a bigger threat than hongkong, culture wise.
but again china mainland govt says you need us to bring order, control and prosperity, HK spits in the face of all of that
And b4 the industrial revolution, China was thw world's most powerful Empire
they were absolutely deleted by Euros
they don't remember that very fondly
china walled themselves off in their cities
its like western and eastern germany theres a reason you couldnt escape from the eastern side
fearing the degeneracy outside their empire
And the Chinese, as the Arabs, have a fucking long memory.
Except you can totally leave China
?
can they all?
ye
no
s'not very hard
normie citizens can leave china, but as far as the emperor and his court was concerned the outside didnt matter
there are people in "favoured areas" that can travel around
dude, you can totally travel as a Chink
but if you are in a unfavoured area then you are stuck there
you need a permit, yes
