      SHAME-FREE thread: ask the dumbest question you have about the Hong Kong protests. I'll try to answer it or loop in a real Hong Konger to answer it for you. No question too ignorant or basic.

      besides the flags, what awkward/dumb/bad inheritance is there left over from GB?

      The laws on riot and illegal assembly. Three people is enough to constitute a riotous mob, and this has actually been used against families with small children in the insanity of the police response to protests. The Orwellian PLA garrison building is another awkward leftover

      and the colonial era "Emergency Law" that basically gives unlimited power to the Chief Executive as she wishes

      OMG yes, how did I forget that? More generally, the worst British legacy in Hong Kong is that they never allowed a level of self-rule commensurate with the civil liberties that Hong Kongers enjoy, at least in theory. And that they did not give Hong Kongers the right to abode

          Well to be fair, the reason they never gave self rule and democratic elections. Is because China apposite any thing close to it and always threaten to take back hong kong by force if they did. So HK Gov was always walking a tightrope of keeping China and Hong Kong happy was...

          ...easy feat. Not to mention UK business interests in HK to look after for. So the status quo seem to be the better option for the UK. As for the right of abode to the UK. After Brexit do you really need to still figure out why? Simple 7 million Hong Kongers are not there people.

          Records declassified in recent years have shown that the British had been considering self-rule for Hong Kong since 1958, but had to pull back due to the threat of invasion by the Communist Party. https://qz.com/279013/the-secret-history-of-hong-kongs-stillborn-democracy/ …
