Thoughts on Hong Kong
I was born in Hong Kong and grew up in the west. For too long I’ve seen western propaganda try to separate Hong Kong residents from our rightful family, China. These are my thoughts.
A Simple History – The British Stole Hong Kong
Hong Kong was a territory in China originally. The British, eager to buy great stuff from China yet with little to offer in return, tried to addict the Chinese to drugs (opium). The Chinese government didn’t like this, and put a stop to it. The British got angry they got stopped from doing illegal activities, invaded, and stole Hong Kong from China.
When it was time to return Hong Kong to China in 1997, the British coerced the Chinese government into accepting stipulations. These included things like separate systems, HK tax money won’t go towards mainland China, etc.
This is pretty crazy. It would be like a thief (Britain) being caught in a crime (drugs), then robbing your house (stealing Hong Kong) in anger, then saying you have to agree to certain conditions in order for him to give you back your possessions (Hong Kong).
The Indian Comparison
When I saw that some Hong Kong people were waving US and British flags in protest, I thought it was really crazy. I asked some Indian friends about their thoughts and they were shocked. India was a British colony in the past, but Indians would never want the British to come take over again. Waving British flags in protest would not be socially acceptable in India. Therefore it is shocking that some Hong Kong people think it’s appropriate to wave flags of their oppressors (UK and the west) as a protest. It is similar to a kid supporting a house robber who robbed his family’s house, because he didn’t agree with his parents. It is plainly idiotic.
Basic Law is Oppressor’s Law
The UK didn’t want to give Hong Kong back to China, and imposed conditions on how China’s relationship with Hong Kong. This was plainly unjust. It is similar to if a thief stole your TV, but when returning the TV to you stipulates you can only watch two channels. It was your TV to begin with, but a thief is now telling you what you can or cannot do with your TV in order to return it.
Article 106 of Oppressor Law (Basic Law) says that “the HKSAR shall have independent finances”. This stipulates that Hong Kong will not give tax money to China and that China cannot tax Hong Kong.
Historically, when Hong Kong was relatively prosperous, it did not share this prosperity with people from mainland China. While mainland China is now powerful and rich, Hong Kong residents should still do our part to help the entire country. We must abolish these stupid rules and share our taxes with the rest of China. It is one country, one people. People in Hong Kong shouldn’t get special treatment or exemptions from contributing to our family, China.
The Future for Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a part of China. It is similar to your finger being a part of your body. When apart, both are weaker. Therefore Hong Kong should do the following to do its part for a stronger China, which leads to a stronger Hong Kong.
1) Abolish Basic Law. China’s law is the real law. Basic law was imposed on us by oppressors in the west.
2) Abolish the currency peg to USD. Instead peg to the China RMB. Eventually it should be one currency (the RMB) but at least for now we should move away from the west by pegging to the RMB. This will allow Hong Kong to get rid of its significant USD reserves, which are being inflated away by the reckless money printing of the United States.
3) Contribute more fully to the entirety of China. For too long, Hong Kong residents have not contributed to China’s development. Hong Kong taxes did not go to China. Hong Kong residents didn’t pay China income tax. Hong Kong residents should therefore donate what they can to help development in China, and accept equal taxation with the rest of China. Hong Kong is part of China and therefore we must do our part for our family.

我出生在香港,在西方长大。长期以来,我看到西方宣传试图将香港居民与我们的合法家庭中国分开。这些是我的想法。
一个简单的历史 – 英国偷香港
香港原本是中国的领土。英国人急于从中国购买好东西,却得不到什么回报,试图让中国人吸毒(鸦片)。中国政府不喜欢这样,并制止了它。英国人很生气,他们被阻止从事非法活动,入侵并从中国窃取了香港。
1997年香港回归中国时,英国胁迫中国政府接受规定。其中包括独立系统、香港税款不会流向中国大陆等。
这太疯狂了。这就像一个小偷(英国)被抓到犯罪(毒品),然后愤怒地抢劫你的房子(偷香港),然后说你必须同意某些条件才能让他把你的财产还给你(香港)。
印度比较
当我看到一些香港人挥舞着美国和英国的国旗抗议时,我觉得这真是太疯狂了。我问了一些印度朋友他们的想法,他们很震惊。印度过去是英国的殖民地,但印度人永远不会希望英国人再次接管。挥舞英国国旗抗议在印度是不被社会接受的。因此,令人震惊的是,一些香港人认为挥舞他们的压迫者(英国和西方)的旗帜作为抗议是恰当的。这就像一个孩子支持一个抢劫他家房子的强盗,因为他不同意他的父母。这显然是愚蠢的。
基本法则是压迫者法则
英国不想把香港还给中国,并对中国与香港的关系施加条件。这显然是不公平的。这类似于如果小偷偷了你的电视,但在将电视还给你时规定你只能观看两个频道。起初它是您的电视,但小偷现在告诉您您可以或不能用您的电视做什么,以便将其归还。
《基本法》第106条规定“香港特别行政区财政独立”。这规定香港不会给中国税款,中国不能对香港征税。
从历史上看,香港在比较繁荣的时候,并没有与中国大陆的人分享这种繁荣。尽管中国大陆现在强大而富有,但香港居民仍应尽自己的一份力量帮助整个国家。我们必须废除这些愚蠢的规定,并与中国其他地区分享我们的税收。这是一个国家,一个人。香港人不应该在为我们中国的家庭做出贡献时获得特殊待遇或豁免。
香港的未来
香港是中国的一部分。它类似于你的手指是你身体的一部分。分开时,两者都较弱。因此,香港应该做以下事情,为一个更强大的中国尽自己的一份力量,从而使香港变得更强大。
1) 废除基本法。中国的法律是真正的法律。基本法是西方压迫者强加给我们的。
2) 取消与美元的货币挂钩。而是与中国人民币挂钩。最终它应该是一种货币(人民币),但至少现在我们应该通过与人民币挂钩来远离西方。这将使香港摆脱其庞大的美元储备,这些储备正被美国鲁莽的印钞所膨胀。
3)更充分地为整个中国做出贡献。太久了,香港居民没有为中国的发展做出贡献。香港税没有上中国。香港居民不缴纳中国所得税。因此,香港居民应尽其所能帮助中国的发展,并接受与中国其他地区同等的税收。香港是中国的一部分,因此我们必须为我们的家庭尽自己的一份力量。
