What freedom? Really all the west has to offer is vague and empty phrases and a slight feeling of smug superiority.
100% this. Everytime a hog or a lib says we have freedom, I ask them "What freedom, exactly?" It's just vibes and vague platitudes
It was literally a colony, governed by unelected foreign officials from the other side of the world. No HKer was ever a governor, it was always anglos. Very democratic, very free
The freedom to call Chinese people locusts.
It's literally just this. They liked being honorary Aryans.
That's pretty much the cope I would expect. China needs to up its soft power game in order to really win hearts and minds the way western countries have.
It seems like China believes that selling things and the power of their economic success is all they need. Genshin Impact and TikTok are steps in the right direction but they need more.
This is the part that sucks; they've lost that cultural quality of being British boot lickers and are gaining the average Chinese cultural trait of having pride in oneself and in their country's accomplishments.
