For more than two decades, Hong Kong, though returned to China in 1997, continued to employ foreigners, mostly from UK and Australia, two states that are hostile to China, as their high court judges. And these judges, viewed from the mentality of colonial subjects, were like gods, infallible, impartial, would be fair and judge according to the law and not according to political interests. The fallacy fell flat during the foreign engineered island wide rioting when rioters were conveniently released by these foreign judges, to go out and continue to riot and disrupt peace and stability in Hong Kong.
It was excusable in the 19th and 20th Centuries when the white men were ruling the world, and Asians were deemed to be stupid or less able to rule themselves, to manage their countries, and definitely inferior to white men as judges. In this Century, when many Asians have received enough education, training and experience, to be the equals of the white men, and many even better than the white men, except they don't look white like white gods, and found wanting or less able by their own people in govt. And by hook or by crook, white men are needed, even to be judges against their own people, can be compromised and complicit in making rulings against their national interests.
Such were the crimes of Anglophiles in Hong Kong, still dreaming about serving the Queen or King of England, with blind loyalties to the British monarchy and Empire. For the laymen and unthinking populace, suffering from the Stolkholm Syndrome, or praying and worshipping their former colonial masters could be excusable. But for national leaders to be still trapped in the past, to still think that being subjects of the British Empire, to deface their own abilities in deference to white men, is pathetic.
It was lucky that Hong Kong did not continue to hire Brits or Aussies into their police force. Hong Kong was run by the Brits for 150 years, and the policemen, oops, the police officers, were white men. Hongkongers could only be good enough to be NCOs, to rob the people to feed the corrupt white officers. If Hong Kong were to continue with the practice of hiring white policemen, then these white men, very likely foreigners as they would not trade their white citizenship for non white citizenship, would be guarding over the Hongkongers, guarding which Hongkonger can return or leave Hong Kong, and arresting Hongkongers for crimes, and if they are still as corrupt as during colonial Hong Kong, abuse their police and custodial powers against the Hongkongers.
It is foolhardy for an independent state to hire foreigners as their policemen to guard their immigration points, to guard over their own citizens when the citizens would be the people called upon to fight, protect and die for their country, while the foreigners are foreigners with loyalties to their respective countries.
Thank God, Hong Kong has finally removed all the white foreigners from their police force, and also finally got rid of all the white judges, the white gods that ruled over them for more than a century. Caveat, not sure if there are still foreign or white judges in Hong Kong's judiciary system. Don't be surprised that there could still be some around.
Ang moh tua kee sickness can be very enduring in Hong Kong and despising the talents of their own citizens is second nature. Ang moh the best!
Ang moh tua kee is/was the only weakness of Hong Kong. Other than this, the Hongkongers are confident of their own abilities and would not see the need to import foreigners to replace themselves. All the top positions in Hong Kong are filled by Hongkongers, not by foreigners. And now, with the High Courts being cleansed, the top judges are also Hongkongers, the top police officers are also Hongkongers. Hong Kong is changing colour fast and furious and would be fully integrated as an intrinsic part of China. The colonial hangovers would soon be forgotten. Never will Hong Kong be stupid enough to rehire white judges into their High Courts to judge over Hongkongers again.

Unfortunately Singaporean is taking over the HonKee to become more banana.
Slowly and steadily, the Hongkongers would remember that they are Chinese and wanted to be Chinese and not western poodles. And being Chinese is now the equals of the Americans, the two superpowers in the world. No longer subjects of the white men and be bullied and kicked around by the white men, and everyday dismissively saying, yes sir, yes sir to their white superiors.
