On Hong Kong: If some Hong Kong Chinese folk have a real problem with being Chinese, then they have a real problem. This is not a problem the Government of China can actually help you with, and no one else will help you. This is your problem. It doesn't matter what you destroy or who you kill, or who you beg to help you to see yourselves as something far cleaner and better and more important and more intrinsically worthy. None of that will help. This is your problem. You have brought yourself to...yourself. It is not the world's fault that you hate yourself and seek to destroy yourself. Being so special and exceptional, that is your business.
