Maybe she's from Shanghai. Nor sure what do HKers with Guangdong roots think of the central government.

You're not a HKer, so you wouldn't know about it.

As an ABC, you should know better than put your trust in governments not ran by your own people. Listening to western governments egg you on to fight your own kind and putting your future in white peoples hands is just foolish.

Shame on you, Liza, for siding with the bloodiest dictatorship in Chinese history.

@@Personne119 . . .

Well said! In addition, there are plenty of governmental and private housings in Hong Kong. One estate/court/private residence contains several buildings. Each building has over 20 floors and more than 3 flats. It is not possible that all these floors and flats are bought by Chinese. Instead, a lot of them are actually bought and lived by Hong kongers. So, Hong Kong's inhabitants should stop blame Chinese people for buying all the residence and selling them for a higher price. The truth is that there are actually many rich people who keeps a relatively low profile in Hong Kong and therefore has the money to afford more than one apartment.

U nail it

Blame the HK government for lack of housing. Don't blame China.

Housing problem doesn't equal freedom of speech problem. Does not compute.

@@Harthorn housing is one of the problems, not the only problem.

你應該放棄加拿大公民的身份回到去你原本的祖國！

jack chung bullshit.

@@JC-rv6lo what I said is almost how every ABC or CBC feels. It's reality. U didn't grow up in the west but we did. Living in north America will teach you to be proud of your culture and heritage cause we face discrimination and prejudice everyday. Even if we denounce ourselves to be Chinese but people of different races in North America will always look at us as Chinese. I still get people asking me if I am from China yet I speak fluent English and grew up in Canada. In hong kong however its different. It's a one race only Chinese society.

@@JC-rv6lo search on KZfaq for JIN and China Mac. Both North American born Hong Kong Chinese rappers in the US. Both of them take pride in our culture and would defend it as well. Check out their recent videos on KZfaq defending our culture against another American Latin rapper making jokes about Chinese in one of his songs.

@@JC-rv6lo u are my peoples too bro. My Chinese brother.

jack chung you can be Chinese without being pro-china if you know what I mean. Being Chinese is a culture, ethnicity and way of life 🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰

Rita Chen What does loving Chinese roots have anything to do with supporting a Communist dictatorship that oppresses the Chinese people? What does Communist ideology have anything to do with “Chinese roots” and “traditional culture”?

@@Personne119 Have you asked Chinese people if they support the communist system? As I know many of them love it. What you stand for does not represent all 1.4 billion Chinese.

Try living there and then you will appreciate where you are now. Or better yet, ask your parents why did they move themselves to NZ?

Rita Chen Maybe you are right but you cannot prove it because China do not have a open democratic elections where each and single Chinese citizens go out and vote for their political party and president . So what you type is your own assumption and also cannot be proven to represent 1.4 billion people 😜 And even if I give you the benefit of the doubt that mainlanders are contented with the communist system, many in Hk are certainly not happy with the communist system so the only way to check it is to have an open election coordinated with overseas observers . And the last thing you should really do is to have an analytical mind . Anti - communist system doesn’t mean anti-Chinese , all overseas Chinese love Chinese culture but do not necessarily have to love the communist party . Also please stop associating economic progress with the CCP , the CCP has successfully lifted mainlander Chinese out from poverty level to middle class, which is an incredible feat but it doesn’t mean that the democratic model couldn’t do it , look at USA , it has never been under the communist model and embraces freedom of speech but still today it is still the largest economy in the world .

@@angeltan3622 I had been working there for half a year. The country keeps up and every time can see the difference and improvement when travelling. China is going up, but western countries are stayed even some are heading downturn.

Traitors are those that forsake their ancestral culture and heritage and wave the flag of a foreign nation.

When Hong Kong was ceded to Britain by the Manchurian government in 1842, it became a British colony. Britain would send a British governor to rule Hong Kong so that their interests would be served first, & the economic gains from HK would be sent back to the UK. In 1983, Deng Xiao Ping's success in having HK returned to China by July 1, 1997 after serious negotiations with Margaret Thatcher will shine in history as new China's rightful protection of its territorial integrity & restorative assertiveness, after the era ( 1830's to 1949 ) of foreign invasion & aggression.

Xiaolu Shi so what? 2 wrongs don't make a right. Just 'cos Britain didn't give hongkong democracy, why can't China????

@@Blindswordsman1994 u fool bro. There ain't no democracy even in the US. Lol.. 😂 😂 How did Donald Trump win? He didn't win the popular vote which is the peoples vote. He is president of the US because he won the senate vote which overrides the popular peoples vote. Democracy in the US is rigged from the get go. Hillary won with a landslide over Trump for the popular vote. Over 2 million more Americans voted for Hillary over Trump but that don't mean a thing. The Senate, consisting of a couple of hundred elites, voted for Trump so therefore he the King now. DON'T BE A FOOL. Be knowledgeable first and educate yourself. If the people of America was heard and their vote counted. Hillary would of been the first women president of America.

@@jjc4232 sorry why feel the need to bring american into this conversation? They are not the be all and end all. I'm talking about hong kong here. Democracy is not a purely american concept

@@Blindswordsman1994 how did democracy came to life? Do you know the history of democracy? Where it came from and how it works and who came up with it? I bring up the Americans cause they advocate and impose their democracy to the world. The Europeans don't do so as much and they run a socialistic society instead anyways.

Under whose flag? lol

@@Harthorn under Great China flag instead British or American.

stay united and turn a blind eye

@@ritahalo Sorry communism doesn't sit well with me. I'm happy to support other Chinese though, just not under a communist flag.

@@Harthorn I understand your feeling but it is the reality - HK is China land can't be split.

6990, Cantonese is a 2000 years old Chinese Language, Mandarin is only a 200 years old Chinese Language.

@@ctleung168 well all dialects are older than mandarin

Don't worry. Wait until 2047. They will start phasing it out. They've already started in Guangdong.

@@linling1240 Right, Mandarin is the latest of the Chinese dialect member.

Vote for Andrew Yang 2020 Yeah, do Karl Marx, Stalin, Lenin, and your all time favorite. Chairman Mao, have anything do with China or Chinese culture? Supporting the CCP dictatorship is NOT supporting China or the Chinese people.

technically, they ARE Chinese. They are of Chinese ethnicity. They're just born in different regions. Idk why is this is debate on whether people are Chinese or not. It's literally black and white.

@Someone Special All the people are idiot

Vote for Andrew Yang 2020 Nice name Hahaha

I think the HK protestors aren't protesting being Chinese, they're protesting against the government that is ruling China. Being Chinese has many meanings, you can be ethnic Chinese, and or Chinese citizen of China. But both are not the same. My family was from Hubei province, I consider myself ethnic Chinese, but I have no affiliation to China and its government.

I like her. I've watched A LOT of TVB dramas with her in it. I've watched A LOT of TVB dramas in general.

China spreading its ideology? What ideology exactly? As far as i know, the west are actively spreading its own idea of democracy. They have government funded organization to push democracy into every corner of the world, the Americans would even invade countries in the name of spreading democracy. I've not seen China do anything similar at all. Mind you Taiwan and HK is part of China despite they have conflict of ideology and governance, but i wouldn't call that a spread of ideology. China simply just want to reclaim those lands, its actually that straightforward.

umm, Hong Kong is just a city of China.

Bro.. Me too. Gotta be proud of our culture. AZN.. Chinese down to the bone. Proud Chinese born Canadian here. China 🇨🇳 🇨🇳

By blood, of course we are Chinese. But Liza’s speech is under the background of Some HK people don’t want to be “Chinese” governed by CCP China, and sadly, that’s becoming true.

@@SL_LCY I agree that some people in Hong Kong has lost sight of their identity and cultural pride. They always have the choice to immigrate overseas. Living abroad will eventually soften their dislike of China and make them realize their Chinese ethnicity. Especially if they immigrate to smaller towns in western countries. The further away they live from Oversea Chinese communities the quicker they will realize and be taught that they are Chinese.

jack chung you are talking about cultural acceptance/self identity(Chinese), but the main issues in HK is the Governance Independency, the respect of rule of law. Cultural identity is a different topic with ppl fighting for their lawful right.

@@SL_LCY once you realize who you are, your identity and accept your culture. Systems and Politics becomes meaningless because you will have seen beyond it. Cause either way, Hong Kong or mainland, doesnt matter. What matters is that we are Chinese and we most defend our culture and history. Once you take pride in your culture and heritage. You will see things in a different light. Lol.. 😂 😂 Can't believe that it takes a "Jok Sing Jai" like me to teach you, a Hong Kong person, what it means to be Chinese. I grew up in Canada Toronto. I am Chinese Canadian. I always put my roots and my blood first over anything because that's who we are.. CHINESE. That's what growing up in the West have taught me. Stick with your peoples in your own race and meanwhile respect other cultures. But never let no one disrespect you and you culture. That's when you gotta defend it. Search China 🇨🇳 Mac and Ah JIN (u should know JIN he is famous in hong kong. Both are Jok Sing Jai ABCs and both are proud of their culture and identity. They would defend our culture when need be. U do know that Hong Kong is probably the best city on earth but in recent years ruined by politics. I lived in hong kong for 5 years from 1996 to 2001 witness the hand over at TST in 1997. Hong Kong is the freest city and most exciting in the world. Don't ruin it any further

They've seen what happened to the Baltic States and the Middle Eastern countries with different ethnic groups/backgrounds that are weakly held together. The fear is understandable, as history shows the CIA/MI6 will try to sow discord between the different groups to split up the country. Although, I do agree with you that their methods are rather heavy handed, and I also agree is the wrong approach. I feel the greatest irony is that they probably won't allow the diversity to exist until they've completely stamped it out.... in which they'll try to bring it back.

culturally Hongkong is also culturally Chinese.

@Mula Mi I am happy you said that. But why force Hong Kong people like CCP?

I mean if the expiration date was 2020, I think it would be in everyone's interests to retain the status quo and one country two systems. But since 2047 is so far away, I'm not sure what's going to happen.

Yes she's beautiful still remember she portrayed emperor's concubine n wicked empress forced her to enter well(commit suicide) n she replied she wil enter by herself 😒
