In this video, we dive deep into the complex and controversial story of the Hong Kong protests and the growing Hong Kong independence movement. From the 2019 Hong Kong riots to the 2020 Hong Kong National Security Law, the media narrative has been heavily shaped by Western media bias, leaving out key context. Was it truly about freedom and democracy, or is there a deeper agenda at play?

We explore how the West interference in Hong Kong and China’s policies towards the region have played a pivotal role in escalating the conflict. From the Hong Kong extradition bill to the rise of Hong Kong separatism, we challenge the portrayal of these events and question whether they were truly about Hong Kong democracy or something more politically driven. What role does racial violence and racism play in these protests? How do Hong Kong culture and Hong Kong language debate factor into the crisis?

We also look at the economic collapse caused by the riots, the influence of foreign powers, and how the Beijing Hong Kong policy has stabilized the region post-protests. Don't miss out on understanding the true impact of China Hong Kong stability and why the Hong Kong protests 2020 changed everything for the city.

We also address the cantonese language debate and why it's central to the evolving identity of Hong Kongers, as well as China Cantonese policies that are shaping this cultural landscape.

Westerners really got brainwashed into thinking Hong Kong has to be saved from China. Even “progressives” lol.
