Wow. I had no idea it was that tight. Thank you for your insight and frankly your bravery.

I’m not brave at all. I’m safe in North America just making posts online with no real consequences.

Just look up all the major events that have happened in HK in the past few years, and the lead up from the last few decades. Many protesters have disappeared, pro-independence party and lawmakers ousted and banned, and HK is a police state. It’s one of the reasons why my family left in the 90s, and the main reason why my cousins left HK last year. Any chance of freedom in Hong Kong is dead and will get only worse. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong.

It's all relative, and full of tradeoffs as always. As an Australian citizen HK has consistently been the lesser evil over the last 10 years.

I was particularly greatful to have HK permanent residence during Covid, it meant there was somewhere I could live where my movement was not restricted and I wasn't coerced into any unneccessary medical interventions, it was very painful to see what happened to the rest of my family who were not able to escape.

That said, I would absolutely not want to be in the mainland, and so along the current trajectory I won't be able to stay in HK forever either. Networks like Bitcoin and Nostr potentially have the power to raise the general consciousness and enable change.
