Suppressing the local language. Happened in Australia, the Americas, and so many other places. It’s a symptom of the overall racism.
“local language” lmao Curious, what about those up to 100 million cantonese speaking in mainland China? They forgot to surpress them too? Oops! Clearly, gents, this guy got arrested because the cantonese language of those 7 million living in HK are a thread!
How insecure do you have to be that you find it necessary to suppress a language?
the essay that police asked to be taken down was “Our Time” by Siu Gaa, which imagines Hong Kong in 2050 after a government crackdown on linguistic and ethnic minorities as well as freedom of religion in the city
It’s not about Cantonese. It’s they hate this essay for some reason. Whether that’s better or worse is up to your judgement.
They’re doing the same thing they did back in the 90s with Shanghainese, this time on a much larger scale. Disgusting.
