You are aware that hong kong is not representative of china right? That it was a british crown colony until 1997, and it inherited British colonial tradition, legislature, judicial and administrative structure? Despite being governed by Beijing now it still has it's own passport, currency, system of international visa arrangements? And why do you think atheism has no hope? Do you think everyone in as ruthlessly competitive a society as chinese society is now would indulge in self infantilization and seek comfort in squishy fairy tales?

10 points for attempting to derail this thread.
