其實好複雜
中國當年文革,六四,港人瀝瀝在目
都有好多人係因為中國唔好偷渡香港啦
況且香港的確比英國管治得好
的確是stockholm syndrome...你兩三歲比人拐帶,但佢比好野你食,供書教學,你可能都覺得拐帶你果個人係你至親 ...
Thx for ur input. My statement is simple 'the English colonialism in HK was invasion, not mercy'. Though CPPP was pathetic, English colonists were no good either. HK by the Handover actually had prospered a lot. But this is not because of the mercy from the colonists, but because of the local people. Let's look at the history ( as far as I know, sorry if wrong).
Democracy: only by 1994 did HK people have voting rights in the Legco. This was 4 out of 155 years' occupation. Woo, big achivement. Moreover, the British did this not because they thought we deserved it but because they would tempt us with this to write off the Chinese goverment for longer colony in HK.
Economy: HK only prospered around 1970s with rise of clothing industries. Why? It was all becuase English colonists lost their control in India so that they shifted the export qouta of clothing from India to HK. If India hadn't gain independence, HK would not have been this prosperous I think. Besides, many British multinational companies in HK, HKBC for example, exported billion of capital from HK to England, with their power in the HK governement. If this was not the case, HK would be as a large dragon as Japan. Most of the capital in the colonist HK came from Shanghaiese, but not English people, so English people didn't bring us much capital to develop HK. As HK was freer as a economic unit than anywhere in the mianland, Shanghaiese moved their capital to HK. Thus, Shanghai suffered though HK benefited a little bit. But in this case, China as a whole was worse off.HK prospered because of the colonism? Yes, but please consider 1. HK people learned business skills from the ENglish people and 2. English people brought us business skills (/ management skills etc.). Though 1 and 2 would result more or less the same, they are at the opposite ends. In HK's case, it was 1, not 2. Hong Kong poeple even before 1970s had been struggling (see similar cases when Chinese businessmen who learned the skills from the British were running well during WW1 without imperial intervention).... Let's me stop here...
My point is that if HK people (HK football fans at 20 or below) know more about their own HK history, they would not adore English colonism as much. |
