Which, surely, explains why tourism in the rest of the Bay Area is shooting up?

While there is a political component to it, the real issue is that the HKD is too strong now and the cost of touristing in HK is very visible.

Hong Kong is finally free from western parasites. They won their freedom.

The truth. And it is true of their leadership too.

Not that I mind. Propagandized people make uninformed decisions, so I don’t even care to correct them.

True. The US massacred tens of thousands in Afghanistan only to replace the Taliban with the Taliban, and it looks like it is preparing to do the same in Yemen.

It is awful and unforgivable. But the US is weakening itself with every decades-long and losing invasion it starts.

Winning isn't measured by who kills the most innocents. Otherwise the US would have won in Vietnam. The US is evidently and clearly in decline despite its military might.
