I lived in HK for a short while and became familiar with there electoral system and the average workers perception while living there. I was working as a chef helping my partner at the times family out in one of there resturaunts, so had time to speak to people.
Most of the workers where making 2-3 usd a hour, when asked how high there rents where it was usually above 1.5k usd a month; most people working I knew worked 60-70 hour work weeks and lived in coffin homes with no kitchen or bathrooms, just a bed.
Anyway, for the longest time the largest chamber of the HK legislative was non-elected, and put in place to represent the colanial powers interests. This board is made up of mostly white people.
When libs try to tell me about HK and cite HK free press, a derivative of RFA I point out the same contradiction, most of the people who own that news orgs are outsiders representing colonial interests.
This is the owner of HK free press lmao
