But yeah there’s a lot of borderline Great Replacement conspiracies in Hong Kong, e.g. 150 mainlanders coming in everyday to take over the place. A lot of HKers fall into this false sense of superiority due to being a colony and having a massive headstart on development, even though said development was largely driven by acting as an entrepot during China’s economic liberalisation.
