ago, Huang Qixuan, a 21-year-old from mainland China who is studying accountancy in Hong Kong, was walking through his campus, talking to his father by phone. He passed a black-clad local student who was holding a placard in support of the pro-democracy unrest that has racked the city for nearly five months. “It’s chaotic,” he said to his father in Mandarin, the mainland’s common tongue. Incensed, the local shouted into Mr Huang’s face in Cantonese, the language of most Hong Kongers.
Such incidents have contributed to a dramatic fall in the number of mainland tourists. In the first week of October, a national holiday, there were 56% fewer of them than a year earlier. At one tourist magnet, a large sculpture of a Bauhinia flower that was presented to Hong Kong by the central government, a mainlander who has lived in Hong Kong for two years and earns money photographing tourists says that on a recent Sunday only about ten coaches stopped to let mainlanders off nearby.
The mainlanders rub shoulders with a local student body that is far more staunchly anti-Communist than domestic students tend to be on Western campuses. On October 1st, China’s national day, Mr Huang was among a few dozen mainland students who gathered to sing the Chinese anthem on the campus of the University of Hong Kong. The group was quickly surrounded by local students.
people's phones were checked by protestors and were forced to delete pictures and videos of protestors' violent behavior
not only students from mainland avoid speaking Mandarin. Last week three tourists from mainland when one was talking to his wife on phone, were attacked by a group of protestors in HongKong.
hongkong protesters are just neo Nazi and kkk against mainland Chinese
A good article about the Neo Nazi racial hatred by these blackclad 'protesters'
lol this salty comment section
Really? Do we live in the same Hong Kong, or are we in different parallel universe? I can still hear many people speaking Mandarin and some of them even held knives to threaten the lives of local residents...🤔
I can still hear a lot of mandarin these days in hongkong , and these ppl look perfectly safe and sound.🤔
No one would harm those mainlanders if they werent provoking at 1st place. There are always some hkers voice out, and be interrupted by manland chinese. U can find it in Unisverity of Queensland too. We wont claim we are restrained after clashed with someone
One moment a victim, the next moment a bully. There's a lot of that going around these days.
Don't you condemn such behave? Is it a kind of offence to free speech?
supports Communist China and routinely gaslights for the regime.
HongKongers are attacked by police, which are supported by the government and CCP
Nice to see this “journalism” paint China as the victim.
