True. When Hong Kong was under British rule there were not a lot of protests.
However, the reason is not because Hong Kong was better ruled or better off with the British. It is because when you riot in Hong Kong under the British, you get KILLED.
Just google HK riot 1967. Then the police had the support of the British and the West of using lethal force to kill Hong Kongers because they were Chinese, so nothing to it.
Now that Hong Kong is back to China, the West suddenly cares so much about “freedom of speech” and “police brutality”. Very interesting mentality.
