Hong Kong’s biggest pro-democracy party votes to disband after more than 30 years of activism

1. I don’t know too much about the Hong Kong Democratic Party but its Wikipedia says that it’s an American style liberal party, it honestly doesn’t surprise me it is disbanding in 2025 if that’s the case. I just think the taste for liberalism across the globe has gone down greatly

2. As much as I loved my time visiting Hong Kong and its unique blend of Chinese and Western culture, it’s still (almost) attached to China’s mainland, is ethnically Chinese, and it was only supposed to exist for 99 years. It’s China’s now, and they can glue Hong Kong to the bottom of Shenzhen and stick the two together to form one singular Shenzhen if they want to.

3. ‘pro democracy party’

   What does this framing even mean?

   Allegedly hong kong is a democracy, so all parties are ‘pro democracy’….. (it isn’t really. It’s a shoddy corporatocracy akin to the city of london, but don’t let that stop anyone).

   What this presumably actually means is that they’re anti-china? Or pro secession?
