Remember that Hong Kong was under British rule for more
than 150 years, from 1841 until 1997. The root of all these overcrowded
housing was never addressed during those one and a half century. The
Brits Administration, the big banks, business houses and property
speculators were preoccupied with making money in Hong Kong, not lifting
people out of poverty. Who is now talking about inequality or
irresponsibility?
China is supposed to let Hong Kong have its
own way for 50 years after 1997 and is in no position to interfere in
Hong Kong other than security issues. Hong Kong still belongs to China
and security is paramount. If lifting poverty comes into the picture
after 1997, doing that is going to result in accusations of human rights
abuses, such as forcing Hong Kong citizens to vacate areas for
redevelopment to tackle the issues.
Talking about
responsibility, what about discussing about those tents lying along the
streets of USA cities? Homelessness is even more of an inequality and
irresponsibility of the Government than having crammed spaces. Why isn't
Channel News America picking on the irresponsibility of the USA
Government to tackle the issue? Why are the MSM not talking about the
genocides in Gaza, the genocides in North America, the fake love of the
Muslims in Xinjiang and the real love of the Muslims in Gaza by the
USA's double standard of interpretation. Hypocrisy?

What have the White colonizers given back to African countries during their rule? Infrastructures are lacking, housing non-existent, big-time exploitation of resources have been the norm. The biggest diamond adorns the British Crown, artifacts line the British museums, resources sustain the British Industrial rise.
More than US$42 trillion (or British pound sterling) were estimated to have been stolen by the Brits from India, on top of food shipped back to feed the Brits, leaving the Indians starving. This is their so-called humanity and respect for human rights.
China is now building all their infrastructures, airports, ports, railways, roads and helping them to open up Africa. And all the West ever did when they visit Africa now was to criticize China for setting debt traps, which the Africans are sick and tired of hearing those lies. It is great that Africans can see what China is doing for them. They have gone through colonization and now experiencing Chinese help and are making comparisons and are gratefully repaying the Chinese help with graciousness. This is unlike those who repay help with viciousness and vile.
