The delusional Hongkongers

First they protest about the extradition bill, claiming that China is a lawless country and they were fearing for their lives should this bill be passed and when they committed crimes they could be sent to China, to be trialed in China, a communist system, an authoritarian system that would not give them a fair trial, would abuse their human rights. Is China more lawless or Hong Kong today, after the continuous rioting and vandalism on the streets, the beating up of innocent people and police by the Hong Kong mobs?
 
Then they demanded for the resignation of the Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong’s SAR, Carrie Lam. Then they wanted Hong Kong to be run as a different country, full universal suffrage, western democracy as if Hong Kong is a state that is on its own, nothing to do with China, China has no rights or authority over Hong Kong. Now they want independence, to have Hong Kong to themselves, breaking away from mainland China. A couple of millions of Hongkongers wanting to tell 1.4b Chinese and China that they want to take Hong Kong away as a separate entity!
 
As the weak Hong Kong govt fails to put down the rioting and vandalism on the streets of Hong Kong, the Hongkongers are embolden. They are starting to believe that the Hong Kong govt and China are hapless and helpless against them, that they are fearless and could run wild and wrestle Hong Kong away from China. China is so weak and would buckle under international pressure to let Hong Kong free as an independent state with a political system that is contrary to China and posing a threat to China as an alternative system, they believe and think they could do it.
 
Lately, the arrogance of false pride of the Hongkongers have gone a level higher. They are starting to exhibit a kind of superiority complex over mainland Chinese, ridiculing them, insulting them and even attacking them physically. Not only were the offices of Hong Kong govt being attacked, vandalized and burnt, they are now attacking Chinese businesses and the offices of Beijing in Hong Kong, and the latest, attacking the barracks of PLA troops. They are beating mainland Chinese on the streets. These silly Hongkongers did not know what it is like to incur the wrath of 1.4b mainland Chinese. They would be the ultimate punching bag when China decides to let them have it.
 
The Hongkongers think they are different from mainland Chinese, they are not Chinese, and telling the mainland Chinese in Hong Kong to go back to China in a derogatory way. They looked down on the mainland Chinese, despised the mainland Chinese, thinking that they are superior to them and did not want to have anything to do with them.
 
They have forgotten that their good fortune was a result of China and mainland Chinese. They did not know, or refused to know that their food, water and almost everything came from China. They think they are so clever that they can continue to prosper without China and mainland Chinese. Such insanity or stupidity cannot be cured sickness is unbelieveable in a people that is wholly dependent on China and mainland Chinese for their survival. They did not know that in the last 20 plus years, the mainland Chinese have overtaken them, surpassed them in almost everything. There are still many relatively poorer Chinese that came from the villages or less developed part of China. But the mainland Chinese living in the big cities are richer, wealthier and more sophisticated than them in many ways.
 
The Hongkongers are still burying their heads in the sand thinking that China is a backward country and mainland Chinese are poor country bumpkins. If they keep burying their heads in the sand, they would not know when they would be overtaken and replaced by the mainland Chinese. Their shortsightedness and false confidence and silly pride in themselves would soon come to pass and they would regret for their foolishness in a fast changing world and a fast changing China and Chinese people. How many more days can they dream that they are really superior to the mainland Chinese?
 
Their contempt and hatred for mainland Chinese and China would be their sin to reckon with. China was able to lock down Xinjiang and contain the terrorist acts of separatist movements in that region. It is so easy for China to lock down Hong Kong the way it locked down Xinjiang should it decide to do so.
 
Where can the Hongkongers run when China and the mainland Chinese decide that it is time to drive them out of Hong Kong? Even Li Ka Shing is making plans to leave Hong Kong and likely to end up as second class citizen in some western countries, with a lot of money but rootless, country less, living a meaningless existence. Many Hongkongers are going to end up this way, uprooted from their homes, from their motherland, to become non entities in some far away countries they could not called home.
