Vice hired many extreme Asian-americans who are white haters. They hate everyone who is white and misunderstand world history. This video is absolute propaganda. The 67 Riot was engineered by the CCP and the Hong Kong communists put bombs all over the city. This guy was one of them and he dared not mention his "comrades" mailed a bomb to civilians and two children were killed point blank when they opened the mail. The whole city saw pictures in the papers of their intestines coming out when they opened the leftists' parcel. The whole city was terrorized by them and they were very rightfully sent to jail by the British authority. He deserved his jail time. He didn't go to jail just because he went to a China-based secondary school. My uncle went to one too but he didn't hurt any civilians so he was fine and went to university as he wished. This guy is a liar and you can tell how many holes there are in his story.

It should remind you that the definition of freedom can change completely over the course of a few generations. What they rioted for in 1967 is very different to what they protest for today.

True

Because it’s a reactionary narrative meant to stir up anti-China hate. Years of protesting and not one person killed by the police.

To be fair, there were people who genuinely subscribed to Mao Tze Tung thought on their own volition (and there still are). It’s a valid, if controversial political stance, and the riots had the effect of forcing the colonial government into enacting reforms

Yep. Royal Hong Kong Police did their damn job in '67.

Fortunately at least in America the protesters who were brutalized were eventually vindicated and liberated from authoritarian thugs and unlawful state brutality. Sad we didn't see the same for HK.

Now it fits into the wests agenda

Very insightful, thanks. Did labor laws become more fair after the riots? It's interesting how in British Hong Kong he was allowed to be a devout Communist and open Mao supporter. If only people in Communist China had such freedoms of political choice.

@@monsieurdorgat6864 Life in Hong Kong then was fine, in fact many Hong Kongers miss the period of British rule, since the British Government wasn't making constant attempts to deny Hong Kongers basic civil rights. Millions of Chinese immigrated from mainland China to Hong Kong, escaping Communist rule. The 1967 riots were the only major civil unrest during British rule (compared to 1/7 of the population protesting in 2014 and 2019), and was largely orchestrated by Communists from Mainland China, rather than Hong Kongers.

They're like rebels now right? Trying to hurt their own country instead of advocate for unity. Don't forget those Myanmar politicians are hiding while they send young protesters like her out. I almost feel bad for the protesters when I see them dying for nothing, especially the teenagers who's easily influenced. This backstory will explain everything. The problems in Burma are actually differences between the National League for Democracy (NLD) party and the rest of the populace. The NLD won an almost landslide victory in the 2015 elections and ruled the country for the first time until 2020. The leader of the party Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was very popular but her government couldn't achieve much in its five- year term. According to many independent poles, the party will surely win the elections in 2020 but it can't win an outright majority to form a government. It seemed that they were unwilling to form a coalition government and tried everything in their power to get a majority. They used many tricks before the elections and all other parties were distressed about that. Many political parties before and after the elections met with the commander-in-chief of the army and asked him to intervene. In the elections the NLD won overwhelmingly getting about 82% of the votes to everybody's astonishment. The parties and the army pointed out the irregularities and asked the Elections Commission but they refused to answer under the order of the President who is vice president of the NLD and who appointed the Commission. The army asked to get answer many times to no avail and decided to get power properly under the constitution when the NLD moved to open a new parliament and form their government. The army arrested the president and NLD leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi who instructed her followers in a prepared statement to revolt against the military. Since then NLD members started protests in the streets for about two weeks rather peacefully though. When the army didn't budge they changed to violent demonstrations arousing mostly young people and even young children. Slowly the confrontations become between the NLD youth members and the army in the streets and NLD and the rest of the populace in other areas and in social life. However, as a few hundreds of demonstrators were killed in the streets, the world knows only that the army used deadly force against unarmed civilians. The NLD apparatchiks know how to approach international political leaders to get sympathy while the army leaders concentrate on the rule of law and order in the country. Hence most of the world think the disagreement was between the army and the NLD. The truth is the army is only the caretaker for the preservation of democracy at the request of all political parties and the general public except the NLD party. -Truth Teller @Truth Teller That sounds very believable. The tactics the protesters used are the same used in other color revolutions, like in Arab spring in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar. E.g. using fingers to make signs, using people to kneel in front of the police, using stones from the roads, shields, catapults, molotov cocktails, setting buildings on fire etc etc. , spreading propaganda the police shot at the heads, which was over done and became so obviously fake. -papa smurf Thank you so much for your efforts to tell the truth. It is being stifled, distorted, or ignored by MSM.

The Hong Kong protests in 1967 were not a fight for democracy, it was a fight for Maoist Communism. Hong Kong housing problem in part was due to the mass immigration of refugees fleeing Communist China. The average Hong Konger did not support these protests.

@@Halkin85 I’ll totally take your words for it because I’m a dumb-ass.

@@ziiiim No worries man. I am actually from Hong Kong but this is still my own interpretation of events.

Fight for Democracy and freedom has shattered the homes of people in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria etc and so on so forth. F*** off with Democracy when it can't feed millions of poor in India, Pakistan and other poor Asian countries. Democracy needs Meritocracy or else you get f****ed by Politician and their corrupt practice. And Meritocracy can sometimes be authoritarian but it brings stability and peace and fills your stomach thrice a day. Not to go the North Korean way but the Singaporean way where after sometime people stop giving sh**t. Check out Polymatter video on Singapore to understand why Democracy needs to have curbs on freedom for maintaining order. Or you can go to UK and USA or Mexico and India to enjoy Democracy with dumb ass fart heads in the parliament.

@@lightingluo I'll have to correct you here, Cantonese or any other dialect are ALLOWED to be spoken in the mainland China.

He is very careful with his wording, and while he perhaps shared similar experience with youngsters on 2019, and perhaps he gets the inequality now is similar to then, his language is colored by his education then. He didn’t elaborate why he won’t join the protests in 2019 (or Vice edited out) perhaps he just think they are agitators influenced by western powers - something the colonial government would have said the same against him then- influenced by CCP/left-leanings The current HK Government supported by CCP is doing exactly same if not worse than the colonial British HK Gov’t. One thing cannot be underestimated- CCP knows this game too well as it is well-practiced in mainland. Teachers are getting booted for not toeing the official government line/policies. Hell, political parties are disbanding and candidates disqualified for their “unpatriotic” leanings. He and generations of mainlanders are blinded by the devotion to CCP and mixes up the love of country with love of the Communist Party.

Meanwhile china does have yet to invade and occupy another country in recent history. Meanwhile the u.s invaded iraq only 17-18 years ago, toppled tge government and vrought about brutal terrorists as there was no government to stop them. The u.s also funded terrorists in the middle east and in central america. Kicked out elected presidents and put in dictators. That is more tyrannical than what china has done.

Silly. Read China history. Taiwan is part of the Republic of China. Look at their passports and their constitution. The roc retreated to Taiwan province and has been there till today.
