真的?不可思议。

I was informed by western media that HKers didn't want anything to do with us filthy mainlanders.

I wonder how the kids that "fled" to England are enjoying the beautiful British cuisine and the beautiful British weather and the polite British chavs.

The Shenzhen frenzy dovetails with Hong Kong residents’ growing willingness to work and live in mainland China. A survey of people under 40 in the city by the Hong Kong-Guangdong Youth Association conducted last year found 66% of them are now open to employment across the border, tripling from 22% in 2020.

China genocided HKs culture so that more ppl stop realizing how bad cummunism is

I love how the audio reading for this article is just straight-up AI generated. Like literally they mispronounce Xi's name within 3 seconds of the thing starting, kinda wondering why they even bothered.
