It was a 1950's era flat the size of 6 x 4 meters on a 6 level building with no lift. We sold it for $H.K.d 5 million but i reckon we may had got more .

    I used to visit Hong Kong quite a lot between the early 80’s till the end of the 90’s. I was a flight crew then and Hong Kong was indeed one of my favorite stop over cities across the world. The vibrancy and pulsating culture and tradition amongst such a diverse society. I’ve also made quite a few local friends in Hong Kong during my tour of duty whenever I get a chance to stop over. The hospitality and charm of Hongkongers amazes me a great deal and has made an impeccable imprint in my life. Unfortunately ever since the umbrella movement and the kill the Bill protest in 2019, many of the friends I know and the people I’ve been acquainted to at one point in time have left the colony. Many changes have taken place in Hong Kong as new laws are being enforced from time to time to clamp down on anti-ccp movements, anti-ccp sentiments or anything at all pertaining to shedding bad light on the ccp. Though my last stop over in Hong Kong was the early part of 2000 where i transit there for two nights from Hainan island before homeward bound and needless to say a wave of nostalgia swept over me when I saw Hong Kong again. That was and will perhaps be my last memory of the awesome Hong Kong I’ve come to experience personally in my lifetime. 🙏

      @@John-mu2zz Stockholm syndrome is a condition which causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity.
      HK was kidnapped during the Opium War, and while the Colonial masters did bring much wealth to the nation, much of this opulence came from China when it was forced to trade with the Brits via HK- this is largely forgotten to this day. in truth, neither HK nor their masters were the cause of HK's rise, for really the Brits could have chosen any rock strategically positioned near China for a trading post.
      For this reason, even after being "freed" HK still sees itself as having more in common with the UK, despite NEVER having had any democratic freedoms while under colonial rule. Why Britain the kidnapper is seen as a better master than China, the rape victim is thanks to Western dominance of the media

      Dude. What are you talking about?
      Yes, it is Stockholm syndrome what you're describing. But you can't apply that on a a group of several million people over four generations. That's not how psychology works.
      Also, Hong Kong Chinese could leave Hong Kong anytime. There were not kidnapped. Without being kidnapped they couldn't develop Stockholm syndrome.
      On top of that many mainland Chinese and people from other nations immigrated to Hong Kong. BECAUSE IT'S SO AWESOME. Why would somebody voluntary go into abduction? Why would somebody want to be kidnapped? That Stockholm syndrome comparison is nonsense. Yes, you're right: lot's of things went wrong in the day. But Hong Kong is awesome today nevertheless.

    I lived in China and Hong Kong for a couple of years in the mid 1970s. The people in Hong Kong at that time had a great fear of being handed back to China. I met many wonderful people in Hong Kong and a few in China, although the only people I usually spoke to in China were interpreters, Chinese Teacher, taxi drivers, staff and a few others, normal citizens were too frightened to speak to me except for the children who wanted to practice their English, and they all called me Joe. There were numerous reports of Hong Kong locals being kidnapped and taken to China on boats. I had an English friend who worked for the Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation who was kidnapped and thrown in a Shanghai jail for eight months during a dispute between China and Britain, after which he immigrated to New Zealand.

      They started mass violence back in June. Digging up bricks from sidewalks and threw them at the cops is lethal violence! Kicking cops on the ground and bit off a finger was also started In June. They smashed into the legislative building in June and caused over a billion damage. Their mass attacks on civilians had also started in June. They smashed local shops run by HKers and threatened them not to sell to mainland tourists. Some of the videos were uploaded early and TH-cam deleted them due to censorship. Police were very restrained. Only the anti-China propaganda in corporate “free” press distort the facts and never show you what’s on the playlist.
      They even x10 and x20 to the actual number of protesters. For example, Victoria Park has a size around 130,000 square feet. Somehow all the “free press” reported 1.7 million protesters... you have to stack 10-15 people on the top of each other to get that many!
      They also ignore the massive counter-protests. There were three of them at least numbered at 250k, 160k, and 470k. Do you even see the coverage?
      Did they report the protesting organizers receive fund from NED? A civilian arm of CIA. It is on NED’s own website which organizers receive money from them.

      The US isn't reliant on other countries as much as you think. The US economy is driven by advancement in idea's mostly. The US can have those idea's manufactured any where. China can't have advancement in idea's if people are scared to talk about things openly with each other. The US can debate every aspect of every idea about everything until the best idea is then moved forward. This is the reason other countries especially those countries that do not have freedom of speech will never beat the US.

    I visited Hong Kong several times during the mid 1960s while I was in the US Navy. Pretty amazing place I thought. A buddy and I stepped out of what was called the China Fleet Club wondering what we were going to do and how we were going to do it. A man approached us and told us that for 25 US dollars each, he would drive us around the city and show us all the sights. He had a black Mercedes and as neither of us had ever been in one we said OK. We also figured that once we got out at the first stop, that would be the last we saw of the guy. Not so! He did take us all over, including up into the hills where the "rich British" lived. He finally let us out at dark in front of a steak restaurant. He was a great guy and we had one of the best meals ever, then we took the boat back out to our ship at anchor in the harbor. We never once felt unsafe.

At our border Mainland has everything they got to take over Taiwan. Either by cooperation or war we have to decide. Taiwan has been going downhill since martial law has been lifted. We need to enforce our military, economy and technology to keep up with mainland China and we're not hitting our targets Becuase the current government is too focused on political correction. If people of Taiwan can't have a happy life, people will support the CCP if things look bad there. My advice is thst everyone should vote with their brains, keep CCP at an arms length and strengthen our economy through them. And build train our own defences in case of war. I don't believe there can be one country two systems, there's no way ccp would allow that. The more people cries about indepence from ROC, PRC would gladly take over by force if necessary.

      @@MsDesiree39 really, the thing you think is good may be worse.
      Matters are changing under five eyes. For instance, in South Africa or colonies which was under British rule. No improvements after the empire left. BRITISH such a trouble maker draw national boundaries in straight lines so that the countries fighting each others. That is the goodness created by their former masters.

      Hong Kong has no chance sadly
      All this shit gives me a headache when I think about it.
      You’d think China would push more to be like Hong Kong but no let’s bring it down, to many free people.
      All China is just huge version of North Korea but everyone is willing to trade with China

    I was born and bred in New York City and was a bit wary about making the transition to Hong Kong, but I was surprised at the beauty of the city and culture.

      You have a very twisted idea on how China works. I live in China, it's nearly as bad as you say. Not saying these things don't happen, but I teach world history in China, and use a VPN, and no one cares.
