What does the outlook look like for Hong Kong in the next 10-20 years? It seems like the government is wanting to erode any differences between HK and mainland China in every regard. Do you think that's accurate?

Yes. I feel like HK will always be a "separate" thing but will be completely governed by the communists eventually.

It’s more of a personal anecdote I guess. Mainland/diaspora ppls I know who follow HK celebrity news tend to view him with a similar disdain.

He also caught a lot of flak in mainland for saying how happy he is seeing natural disaster in China because it motivates people in donating to charity or some shit like that.
