    Nice try. Jackie Chan is from Hong Kong, not mainland China

      If you really want to piss them off, name politicians from Taiwan. They tell us it is part of China after all. (/s)

      Hong Kong is mainland China, now that they’re no longer under colonial guidance from England. There’s a reason Dr. Chan is so pro China, given the hell he grew up in in occupied hong kong.

          Do you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950s_in_Hong_Kong

          It was invaded by England and made to be a British Colony for decades where slavery was openly legal, HK had no control over its fate whatsoever, and the UK enforced a strict class and social hierarchy where native peoples were massively oppressed compared to Brits.

          It’s actually genuinely disgusting you’re defending both imperialism, the genocide that the imperialism fueled, and violently hostile occupation of a foreign land.

        Was it really more of a hell than it is now?

        Especially if you don’t exactly agree with the government it’s not a very nice place to be right now.
