vincentpricesboner posted:Wait, when did Hong Kong become a city? Hong Kong Island itself was taken over by the British from 1842. At that time there were about 8000 people across the villages on the island. By 1865, colonial administration reported a population of 125,504 - which is pretty densely settled for about 30 square miles of land total. So you could probably say in the 1850s or 1860s.

Hong Kong as an entity has always been more than a city.

Honestly, my main problems with China has always been social issues. I can understand their need for economic development to escape the boot heel of the developed world. But I really wish they wouldn't do stuff like the great firewall.

Most of that land was purchased/leased after the 1860s:  (Not that at time of acquisition, Kowloon Peninsula only had ~800 residents) Not sure if you missed that we were talking about the 19th century or what. fishmech fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Nov 14, 2019 |

But I really wish they wouldn't do stuff like the great firewall. The great firewall, while nasty, pales in comparison to ongoing genocide. I suppose it is an important factor in allowing it to continue, though. I actually always thought the CCP was a bulwark against ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang, but looks like I was completely wrong on that. I’m sympathetic to “anti-imperialism” and even partially to the sentiment that attempts at neutrality or critique of capitalism from within the capitalist system can only be subsumed into it, though I’m not cynical enough yet to believe that developed countries can’t be reformed from within. But pretending that “the other side” is better is laughable.

You ain't wrong. To be fair, the island had been wiped clear (read: foreigners murdered most of the Chinese people living and working there) since then, what, twice?

I'd always thought of HK as a city-(semi-autonomous-)state. Didn't realise that was CCP propaganda. Will avoid it going forward...

Did I hear the sound of another American liberal's mask falling off?fishmech posted:Who cares what trash that genocide lover says? Thoughts most commonly projected onto another are the ones that would cause guilt such as aggressive and sexual fantasies or thoughts. (Edit: Just noticed Ogmius815 has been repeatedly defending Epstein and other rich rapist collaborators on this forum... I'll never be able to change my mind if all my ideological enemies in the liberal camp keep revealing themselves as creepy sexually hosed up misosgynist oppressors!)
