Nothing fascinating with the Communist China infiltrated deadly riots in Hong Kong. If you are as old as I am you won't appreciate so much and try to quickly turn the page.
Vice hired many extreme Asian-americans who are white haters. They hate everyone who is white and misunderstand world history. This video is absolute propaganda. The 67 Riot was engineered by the CCP and the Hong Kong communists put bombs all over the city. This guy was one of them and he dared not mention his "comrades" mailed a bomb to civilians and two children were killed point blank when they opened the mail. The whole city saw pictures in the papers of their intestines coming out when they opened the leftists' parcel. The whole city was terrorized by them and they were very rightfully sent to jail by the British authority. He deserved his jail time. He didn't go to jail just because he went to a China-based secondary school. My uncle went to one too but he didn't hurt any civilians so he was fine and went to university as he wished. This guy is a liar and you can tell how many holes there are in his story.
A few things to clarify: 1:11 he said 1967 event instead of 1967 riot. We never call this an event 5:238:0610:02 the slogans were very common during the cultural revolution of China which started from 1966 to 1976, a radical political movement to remove the capitalist class, enforce communist ideologies, and destroy traditional culture. 6:09 literally he said: "In the later stage of this riot, there were bombs, that disrupted a little bit of security, appearing" 7:14 香島中學 is an infamous communist secondary school bankrolled by Chinese communist organizations The 1967 riots were widely considered as part of the cultural revolution and as a direct involvement of the Chinese communist party. Admittedly Hong Kong wasn't an affluent place back then. Superficially the riots were triggered by social and economic reasons but you can clearly see from the slogans and rhetoric that the riots were more like a coup d'état. Additional information: 1. White terror is an inaccurate word as the British Hong Kong government only targeted communist activists and schools. The general public who criticized the government didn't have the same treatment. 2. In Hong Kong, we call people like him 左仔, an extremely negative label for Chinese communist loyalists. Literally it means "left little guy" 3. Lam Bun, a radio commentator who denounced the riots, was burnt alive by the rioters 4. 紅燒白皮豬，生劏黃皮狗 was one of the most notorious slogans during the riots. It means "Roast white-skinned pigs; butcher yellow-skinned dogs alive." The former refers to British Hong Kong policemen and the latter ethnic Chinese policemen
Very insightful, thanks. Did labor laws become more fair after the riots? It's interesting how in British Hong Kong he was allowed to be a devout Communist and open Mao supporter. If only people in Communist China had such freedoms of political choice.
@@anonymouse527 Did labor laws become more fair after the riots? YES. colonial government made so many changes, and basically the HK that we used to know was created shortly after the riots
Yeah I don't think this was translated very well, Vice showing their bias. I'm pretty sure I heard there were riots in hongkong about 10 times in the first three minutes. Then all I read was British forces and white terror
It should remind you that the definition of freedom can change completely over the course of a few generations. What they rioted for in 1967 is very different to what they protest for today.
4:17 they are holding Mao Quotations 5:22 Mao again , the 1967 riot is motivated by the CCP wanting to take control, so not a labour dispute, CCP even sent militias and killed a few border police.
Idk much about Hong Kong politics, but could it just be Chinese Nationalism they were feeling at the time? I know today many Hong Kong citizens don't particularly like the mainland Chinese government.
@@DaLatinKnight it was at the height of CCP's cultural revolution and CCP wanted to copy the 12-3 incident took place in Macau a year ago that took over macau's control, so incited the riots.
@@chaosong6132 The simility ends with "people holding something when protesting". The 1967 riot was to overthrow UK rule with CCP's authorian rule. The 2019 protest is to oppose CCP's encroachment on HK's freedom. So was 2014 umbrella movement and 1 July 2003 march.
Different governments but same issues. Lack of democratic values by the government to listen the pleads of the masses, regarding housing, overwork and social justice. I’m a western man living in Hong Kong, I support the right of people to protest but sadly some protestors were inciting separatism from China and calling for an intervention by the U.S. How absurd and ignorant from those who wave American flags in Hong Kong, as if the US had ever liberated anyone but their own economic interest. Hong Kong needs a deep reform on housing and social justice, but also recognise that Hong Kong is part of China.
Because it’s a reactionary narrative meant to stir up anti-China hate. Years of protesting and not one person killed by the police. While there are protests all over the world actually being violently cracked down with hundreds killed by actually oppressive governments. “Revolution of our time” my ass
@@TeosAntagonian Do you have any documented case of a protestor being killed? Covering Hong Kong is a waste of time when you have real crack downs on protests happening in Myanmar, Columbia, etc. But you don’t actually care about protestors, just spreading “the See See Pee BAD!” narrative
@@elchapojunior3091 Thiers been documented cases of HK protesters disappearing and never to be heard from again. Also theirs been suspicious deaths of some HK protesters that were labeled suicides by the police.
@@twinbee13monsterhunter Yes, it is totally suspicious that a few young women are committing suicide lol. Fact is every case of people being killed during the protests is done by the protestors. They have beat and/or set on fire multiple people
To be fair, there were people who genuinely subscribed to Mao Tze Tung thought on their own volition (and there still are). It’s a valid, if controversial political stance, and the riots had the effect of forcing the colonial government into enacting reforms
This narrative, however, is only a part of the story. Though triggered by industrial actions, the 1967 riot was a spillover of the Cultural revolution from China. The rioters aimed at a Communist takeover, as their Macanese comrades succeed in the previous year. While Hongkongese hated inequalities, very few of them would found communist rule acceptable. How can you compare an attempted communist coup d’etat with the genuine democratic movement from 2019-2020 which seek for citizen’s rights for self-determination? The witnesses of this interviewee is definitely dishonest.
The fact that his alma mater is a left-leaning secondary school explains his leaning. His Cantonese was translated properly “Chairman Mao” yes he said so. He was probably indoctrinated/brainwashed then. He was very careful with his wording, and while he perhaps shared similar experience with youngsters on 2019, and perhaps he gets the inequality now is similar to then, his language is colored by his education then. He didn’t elaborate why he won’t join the protests in 2019 (or Vice edited out). He likely didn’t join because he probably thinks the 2019 protests were about western influences onto HK “sovereignty” and the youngsters being detained were in the wrong and deserve what they had coming... The current HK Government supported by CCP is doing exactly same if not worse than the colonial British HK Gov’t. One thing cannot be underestimated- CCP knows this game too well as it is well-practiced in mainland. Teachers are getting booted for not toeing the official government line/policies. Hell, political parties are disbanding and candidates vetted/disqualified for their “unpatriotic” leanings. He and generations of mainlanders and Hong Kongers are blinded by the devotion to CCP and mixes up the love of country with love of the Communist Party. CCP practices full-spectrum propaganda that most western governments are unfamiliar with. Any facets of life is linked to the CCP. Just ask Jack Ma now. It has no time limit as accustomed by western democracies. They play the long game (what election?) while political parties in democracies play to shorter election cycles. Of course, dead people tells no tale. Don’t you believe HK Police/government killed no one in 2019. That people “suicided” or “depressed” Lies that will be revealed one day. I do understand what colonial governments do, British colonial government was not an exception. Colonial powers evolved or granted independence due to wars, international pressure or practicality, but the lands and the people endured years of struggle to find own identity. The HK colonial government evolved and cultivated into international respectability that those of us who lived it to fondly remember it- only to be trashed by CCP. Hong Kong is a golden goose that they are willing to kill- afterall they are hatching replacements in the “Greater Bay Area” around Hong Kong. I cannot imagine living there now and censoring self to avoid being renditioned to mainland gulags ...
Fortunately at least in America the protesters who were brutalized were eventually vindicated and liberated from authoritarian thugs and unlawful state brutality. Sad we didn't see the same for HK.
The fight for democracy and freedom will never end. It’s not only against British government or Chinese government. It’s against any inequality and oppression, which will never disappear.
They're like rebels now right? Trying to hurt their own country instead of advocate for unity. Don't forget those Myanmar politicians are hiding while they send young protesters like her out. I almost feel bad for the protesters when I see them dying for nothing, especially the teenagers who's easily influenced. This backstory will explain everything. The problems in Burma are actually differences between the National League for Democracy (NLD) party and the rest of the populace. The NLD won an almost landslide victory in the 2015 elections and ruled the country for the first time until 2020. The leader of the party Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was very popular but her government couldn't achieve much in its five- year term. According to many independent poles, the party will surely win the elections in 2020 but it can't win an outright majority to form a government. It seemed that they were unwilling to form a coalition government and tried everything in their power to get a majority. They used many tricks before the elections and all other parties were distressed about that. Many political parties before and after the elections met with the commander-in-chief of the army and asked him to intervene. In the elections the NLD won overwhelmingly getting about 82% of the votes to everybody's astonishment. The parties and the army pointed out the irregularities and asked the Elections Commission but they refused to answer under the order of the President who is vice president of the NLD and who appointed the Commission. The army asked to get answer many times to no avail and decided to get power properly under the constitution when the NLD moved to open a new parliament and form their government. The army arrested the president and NLD leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi who instructed her followers in a prepared statement to revolt against the military. Since then NLD members started protests in the streets for about two weeks rather peacefully though. When the army didn't budge they changed to violent demonstrations arousing mostly young people and even young children. Slowly the confrontations become between the NLD youth members and the army in the streets and NLD and the rest of the populace in other areas and in social life. However, as a few hundreds of demonstrators were killed in the streets, the world knows only that the army used deadly force against unarmed civilians. The NLD apparatchiks know how to approach international political leaders to get sympathy while the army leaders concentrate on the rule of law and order in the country. Hence most of the world think the disagreement was between the army and the NLD. The truth is the army is only the caretaker for the preservation of democracy at the request of all political parties and the general public except the NLD party. -Truth Teller @Truth Teller That sounds very believable. The tactics the protesters used are the same used in other color revolutions, like in Arab spring in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar. E.g. using fingers to make signs, using people to kneel in front of the police, using stones from the roads, shields, catapults, molotov cocktails, setting buildings on fire etc etc. , spreading propaganda the police shot at the heads, which was over done and became so obviously fake. -papa smurf Thank you so much for your efforts to tell the truth. It is being stifled, distorted, or ignored by MSM. We were always told that the military was the "bad guys", and the Aung Sung clique were the good ones. -Koxinga Unmasking Myanmar's Racist Genocidal US-backed Opposition ua-cam.com/video/pHIVwGOj0Vw/v-deo.html And Hidden Protest Violence in Myanmar By Land destroyer.

The Hong Kong protests in 1967 were not a fight for democracy, it was a fight for Maoist Communism. Hong Kong housing problem in part was due to the mass immigration of refugees fleeing Communist China. The average Hong Konger did not support these protests.
Fight for Democracy and freedom has shattered the homes of people in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria etc and so on so forth. F*** off with Democracy when it can't feed millions of poor in India, Pakistan and other poor Asian countries. Democracy needs Meritocracy or else you get f****ed by Politician and their corrupt practice. And Meritocracy can sometimes be authoritarian but it brings stability and peace and fills your stomach thrice a day. Not to go the North Korean way but the Singaporean way where after sometime people stop giving sh**t. Check out Polymatter video on Singapore to understand why Democracy needs to have curbs on freedom for maintaining order. Or you can go to UK and USA or Mexico and India to enjoy Democracy with dumb ass fart heads in the parliament.

IDK if it was much worse, but yeah human life was just not that valuable back then - whether you ultimately a slave to corporations or a dictator. If your government isn't representative, this is the inevitable result.
@Sean Yeah. I will take that apparently hot take that living under both Mao and British colonial rule sucked back then. I guess democracy is good is also a hot take these days?
@@monsieurdorgat6864 Life in Hong Kong then was fine, in fact many Hong Kongers miss the period of British rule, since the British Government wasn't making constant attempts to deny Hong Kongers basic civil rights. Millions of Chinese immigrated from mainland China to Hong Kong, escaping Communist rule. The 1967 riots were the only major civil unrest during British rule (compared to 1/7 of the population protesting in 2014 and 2019), and was largely orchestrated by Communists from Mainland China, rather than Hong Kongers.
@@markhenley3097 What made Hong Kong different from India, per British colonialism? They don't exactly have a great track record, but admittedly I'm more familiar with their time in India than Hong Kong. It also seems like Hong Kong has been better off ruling themselves, so I don't really see the nostalgia?
Yeah, Im pretty sure most of the current Hong Kong citizens wish they were still under the UK. They're getting oppressed thanks to idiots like this guy who actually thought communism was a good idea.
Yeah! Just like how communists amid their wrong doing in the past like back in the Mao era and yet keeping the title to communism for no matters of all sorts of hell! Yet, freighting water with the same wicked bowl!
And dead bodies coming to shores in Hong Kong because of massive killings in the cultural revolution, and refugees from other parts of Asia made British HK looked cute and fluffy. Your point?
British colonisation was brutal for 156 years. The apartheid was a very hard time for my family back then. When I go back to HK I can still see the - no chinese allowed signs- in the buildings in HK. Shanghai and Qingdao was also partly colonised. Shanghai by the French and Japanese Qingdao by the Germans and Japanese Macau by the Portuguese and Japanese HK by the British and Japanese
This is so sad, this guy is super biased and everyone in the comment section is siding with him. I don't blame anyone because this is the information you got. Hope this clears the air. I don't know why he is the one being interviewed. He isn't any expert on HK history, nor took an important part in the riot. Most importantly, the school he attend is not just 'patroitic', it is straight up funded by the CCP. This accounts for why in cantonese, he never use the word 'riot'. It is commonly known to all HKers that what happened is 67 riot, not 67 event, nor 67 dispute. Onto the point where he repeatedly emphasis that it's a labor dispute, yes maybe it is originally one, it has quickly turned into a part of the Cultural Revolution happening in China back then. The riot or some say the coup is generally a political one, leftist/ commies back then are anti-capitalist and very racist. On a side note, the political party organizing the riot still exist today for some magical reason. They are super pro-establishment and often criticize the 2019-2020 protest of being violent when they are using bombs to push their agenda back then. TBH, I am also not an expert on the topic but this is what I know, just to give you another side of things, trust me if you want to. Wikipedia will be a great place to start if you want to know more.
No matter which gang are ruling the land, any thoughts of citizens having rights should be quickly dismissed. Nobody has rights, just privileges which the ruling gang choose to give it's people and then later take away.
I was an 18 year old in the Royal Navy in 1967 during the riots and I find that this item totally distorts the truth. I was in the thick of it attached to the Hk police and carrying liaison team from HMS Hermes to keep in touch with our Helicopters and it was obvious that it was organised by the mainland Maoist little red book government. My land rover was wrecked by a bomb but I was thrown clear by the blast with just abrasians. It was so obvious, a fully equipped hospital for the rioters was discovered by the police I worked with in a block of flats in Wanchai
@@justinmiller1118 they probably have one in China because of the media presence in China, but I don’t they’re controlled by Chinese media due to the fact that they did a documentary on the Uighur Muslims
When people's knowledge evolves to a level, there will be demonstrations of mismanagement of the government. During the same period, the same situation occurred in mainland Britain and Ireland. Although the ruling government strongly suppressed the incident at the time, but after decades of regime change, the civilized British government followed the trend and the people gained more and more freedom. But now and in the next few decades, will the Chinese government with only one political party, have a chance for evolve to a higher level of civilization? No one knows, we Hong Kong people only have to spend 30-50 years to witness in the same way. Until then, we're here.
The conflicts and escalation didn't spread to involve the leftists in Hong Kong - it happened BECAUSE of the leftists, eager to show their support of Mao's Cultural Revolution up north. They were hoping to repeat the success of the 12-3 Incident (03 Dec 1966) in Macau, but the British didn't back down like the Portuguese did, which in a large part has to do with the backing of the majority of the Hong Kong People who rejected revolutionary politics on Hong Kong soil. Mr. Tsang is certainly entitled to his own view and experience, but we also have to take into account that he was at the time a young student studying at Heung To Middle School (香島中學) - a famed leftist school in Hong Kong.
So Britain just used that place as cheap manpower and when it is finally culturally developed much more than China, they just escaped and refusing take care about that piece of land ? Well done London 👍
Lease agreement is only about New Territories @Graf von Losinj ... Naturally, the extending of the administration period and negotiate another type of arrangement with partial involvement of Beijing government would be happier scenario than what has happened. Handover of any piece of land towards the dictatorship country of the world is nothing but pure betrayal.
The u.k was a lot weaker than china, there was nothing that they could do. China was going to get the land no matter what. They also had a weak claim since they had obtained hong kong in a war.
'67 - it's wild (or expected) that Harold Wilson was Prime Minister at the time and on his wiki page there's no mention of Hong Kong or these riots in it? Even in the "Asia" section.
the world would've been so much better if every country minded her own business instead of occupying and getting in charge of other's ppl country and lands like that's messed up
@blueberrwi it's not a dialect it's completely separate from Mandarin. Also there's been attempts to squash minority languages all over the world, China included.
@blueberrwi you know the chinese communist party only allows mandarin to be spoken in the mainlands. I'm not so sure if you know this, but why do you think all movies and tv shows based on Cantonese only in Hong Kong and not Guangzhou and any other parts?
@@lightingluo I'll have to correct you here, Cantonese or any other dialect are ALLOWED to be spoken in the mainland China. But Yes CCP only allows mandarin to be taught in schools, and 'encourage' it's citizen to used mandarin as much as possible by associating speaking dialect with 'uncivilized act'. Also they do put restrictions on Cantonese/dialect broadcast and media publication but they do exist.
I tell you I feel horrible for the hong Kong people now the Chinese have taken over. I still don't understand why you would honor some old agreement made freaking years ago to turn their democracy into a communist regime. May the poor hong Kong students and people not give up. Its ridiculous no one in the other nations said hong Kong is free and will stay free. I can't stand the communist Chinese government. I do however feel sorry for the Chinese people who must live under it and now the people of Hong Kong. My heart is with them.
Don't mislead us that Hong Kong has always been governed by a "Kind and Friendly" British colonial government. After all, they forcefully took HK was for the benefit of the British Empire.
@@justinmiller1118 says an American, who's country broke "deals" they made with the native americans and slaughtered hundreds and thousands of them, while stealing their land.

Meanwhile china does have yet to invade and occupy another country in recent history. Meanwhile the u.s invaded iraq only 17-18 years ago, toppled tge government and vrought about brutal terrorists as there was no government to stop them. The u.s also funded terrorists in the middle east and in central america. Kicked out elected presidents and put in dictators. That is more tyrannical than what china has done.
Silly. Read China history. Taiwan is part of the Republic of China. Look at their passports and their constitution. The roc retreated to Taiwan province and has been there till today. Both governments agree that one should recognize only one China, you can pick to recognize the people’s republic of China in Beijing or the republic of China in Taiwan as China.
You should do a documentary about the Israeli government, Benjamin Netanyahu, the violence they commit against Palestinians and Republicans who defend their violence while complaining of China.

While there are protests all over the world actually being violently cracked down with hundreds killed by actually oppressive governments. “Revolution of our time” my ass
@@elchapojunior3091 oh look, complete bs.
@@TeosAntagonian Do you have any documented case of a protestor being killed? Covering Hong Kong is a waste of time when you have real crack downs on protests happening in Myanmar, Columbia, etc. But you don’t actually care about protestors, just spreading “the See See Pee BAD!” narrative
@@elchapojunior3091 Thiers been documented cases of HK protesters disappearing and never to be heard from again. Also theirs been suspicious deaths of some HK protesters that were labeled suicides by the police.
@@twinbee13monsterhunter Yes, it is totally suspicious that a few young women are committing suicide lol. Fact is every case of people being killed during the protests is done by the protestors. They have beat and/or set on fire multiple people
The 60’s protest was influenced by the red guards during the cultural revolution. As Mao would have wanted.
Don't tell this to wumao/50cent army
To be fair, there were people who genuinely subscribed to Mao Tze Tung thought on their own volition (and there still are). It’s a valid, if controversial political stance, and the riots had the effect of forcing the colonial government into enacting reforms
Yep. Royal Hong Kong Police did their damn job in '67.
So much irony in this video
This narrative, however, is only a part of the story. Though triggered by industrial actions, the 1967 riot was a spillover of the Cultural revolution from China. The rioters aimed at a Communist takeover, as their Macanese comrades succeed in the previous year. While Hongkongese hated inequalities, very few of them would found communist rule acceptable. How can you compare an attempted communist coup d’etat with the genuine democratic movement from 2019-2020 which seek for citizen’s rights for self-determination? The witnesses of this interviewee is definitely dishonest.
You have a very loose definition of a coup.
You mean to tell me that Hong Kong under British colonial rule had no real freedom or democracy? *gasp*
No freedom of speech and election now, yes
Well it was freer than almost all Asian countries up until late 80s, when Taiwan and South Korea democratize
Funny how back then it was riots but now it's protests
Now it fits into the wests agenda
The fact that his alma mater is a left-leaning secondary school explains his leaning. His Cantonese was translated properly “Chairman Mao” yes he said so. He was probably indoctrinated/brainwashed then. He was very careful with his wording, and while he perhaps shared similar experience with youngsters on 2019, and perhaps he gets the inequality now is similar to then, his language is colored by his education then. He didn’t elaborate why he won’t join the protests in 2019 (or Vice edited out). He likely didn’t join because he probably thinks the 2019 protests were about western influences onto HK “sovereignty” and the youngsters being detained were in the wrong and deserve what they had coming...
The current HK Government supported by CCP is doing exactly same if not worse than the colonial British HK Gov’t. One thing cannot be underestimated- CCP knows this game too well as it is well-practiced in mainland. Teachers are getting booted for not toeing the official government line/policies. Hell, political parties are disbanding and candidates vetted/disqualified for their “unpatriotic” leanings. He and generations of mainlanders and Hong Kongers are blinded by the devotion to CCP and mixes up the love of country with love of the Communist Party. CCP practices full-spectrum propaganda that most western governments are unfamiliar with. Any facets of life is linked to the CCP. Just ask Jack Ma now. It has no time limit as accustomed by western democracies. They play the long game (what election?) while political parties in democracies play to shorter election cycles.
Of course, dead people tells no tale. Don’t you believe HK Police/government killed no one in 2019. That people “suicided” or “depressed” Lies that will be revealed one day.
I do understand what colonial governments do, British colonial government was not an exception. Colonial powers evolved or granted independence due to wars, international pressure or practicality, but the lands and the people endured years of struggle to find own identity.
The HK colonial government evolved and cultivated into international respectability that those of us who lived it to fondly remember it- only to be trashed by CCP.
Hong Kong is a golden goose that they are willing to kill- afterall they are hatching replacements in the “Greater Bay Area” around Hong Kong. I cannot imagine living there now and censoring self to avoid being renditioned to mainland gulags ...
bruh britian literally stole hk from china but ho off lol
I remember watching the riots in 2019 live streams , never thinking of what was to come to America soon
Fortunately at least in America the protesters who were brutalized were eventually vindicated and liberated from authoritarian thugs and unlawful state brutality. Sad we didn't see the same for HK.
The fight for democracy and freedom will never end. It’s not only against British government or Chinese government. It’s against any inequality and oppression, which will never disappear.
They're like rebels now right? Trying to hurt their own country instead of advocate for unity.
Don't forget those Myanmar politicians are hiding while they send young protesters like her out.
I almost feel bad for the protesters when I see them dying for nothing, especially the teenagers who's easily influenced.
This backstory will explain everything.
The problems in Burma are actually differences between the National League for Democracy (NLD) party and the rest of the populace. The NLD won an almost landslide victory in the 2015 elections and ruled the country for the first time until 2020. The leader of the party Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was very popular but her government couldn't achieve much in its five- year term. According to many independent poles, the party will surely win the elections in 2020 but it can't win an outright majority to form a government. It seemed that they were unwilling to form a coalition government and tried everything in their power to get a majority. They used many tricks before the elections and all other parties were distressed about that. Many political parties before and after the elections met with the commander-in-chief of the army and asked him to intervene. In the elections the NLD won overwhelmingly getting about 82% of the votes to everybody's astonishment. The parties and the army pointed out the irregularities and asked the Elections Commission but they refused to answer under the order of the President who is vice president of the NLD and who appointed the Commission. The army asked to get answer many times to no avail and decided to get power properly under the constitution when the NLD moved to open a new parliament and form their government. The army arrested the president and NLD leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi who instructed her followers in a prepared statement to revolt against the military. Since then NLD members started protests in the streets for about two weeks rather peacefully though. When the army didn't budge they changed to violent demonstrations arousing mostly young people and even young children. Slowly the confrontations become between the NLD youth members and the army in the streets and NLD and the rest of the populace in other areas and in social life. However, as a few hundreds of demonstrators were killed in the streets, the world knows only that the army used deadly force against unarmed civilians. The NLD apparatchiks know how to approach international political leaders to get sympathy while the army leaders concentrate on the rule of law and order in the country. Hence most of the world think the disagreement was between the army and the NLD. The truth is the army is only the caretaker for the preservation of democracy at the request of all political parties and the general public except the NLD party.
-Truth Teller
@Truth Teller That sounds very believable. The tactics the protesters used are the same used in other color revolutions, like in Arab spring in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar. E.g. using fingers to make signs, using people to kneel in front of the police, using stones from the roads, shields, catapults, molotov cocktails, setting buildings on fire etc etc. , spreading propaganda the police shot at the heads, which was over done and became so obviously fake.

The Hong Kong protests in 1967 were not a fight for democracy, it was a fight for Maoist Communism. Hong Kong housing problem in part was due to the mass immigration of refugees fleeing Communist China. The average Hong Konger did not support these protests.

@@monsieurdorgat6864 Life in Hong Kong then was fine, in fact many Hong Kongers miss the period of British rule, since the British Government wasn't making constant attempts to deny Hong Kongers basic civil rights. Millions of Chinese immigrated from mainland China to Hong Kong, escaping Communist rule.
The 1967 riots were the only major civil unrest during British rule (compared to 1/7 of the population protesting in 2014 and 2019), and was largely orchestrated by Communists from Mainland China, rather than Hong Kongers.

You need all sides of the story to know what, why, and How.
The British cracking down on the riots in 67 make the what the HKPF did in 2019 look like sesame street.
And dead bodies coming to shores in Hong Kong because of massive killings in the cultural revolution, and refugees from other parts of Asia made British HK looked cute and fluffy. Your point?
Once upon a time HongKongers felt they were Chinese. They knew what it was like under British rule
British colonisation was brutal for 156 years. The apartheid was a very hard time for my family back then.
When I go back to HK I can still see the - no chinese allowed signs- in the buildings in HK.
Shanghai and Qingdao was also partly colonised.
Shanghai by the French and Japanese
Qingdao by the Germans and Japanese
Macau by the Portuguese and Japanese
HK by the British and Japanese
I was there too, in 1967 at Star Ferry incident triggered the riots later and all the mayhem.
Thanks Vice
This is so sad, this guy is super biased and everyone in the comment section is siding with him. I don't blame anyone because this is the information you got. Hope this clears the air.
I don't know why he is the one being interviewed. He isn't any expert on HK history, nor took an important part in the riot. Most importantly, the school he attend is not just 'patroitic', it is straight up funded by the CCP. This accounts for why in cantonese, he never use the word 'riot'. It is commonly known to all HKers that what happened is 67 riot, not 67 event, nor 67 dispute.
Onto the point where he repeatedly emphasis that it's a labor dispute, yes maybe it is originally one, it has quickly turned into a part of the Cultural Revolution happening in China back then. The riot or some say the coup is generally a political one, leftist/ commies back then are anti-capitalist and very racist. On a side note, the political party organizing the riot still exist today for some magical reason. They are super pro-establishment and often criticize the 2019-2020 protest of being violent when they are using bombs to push their agenda back then.
TBH, I am also not an expert on the topic but this is what I know, just to give you another side of things, trust me if you want to. Wikipedia will be a great place to start if you want to know more.
🤡🤡
This is a prime example of why we have to stop giving our rights up.
you give a finger they take the whole arm
Old but gold
No matter which gang are ruling the land, any thoughts of citizens having rights should be quickly dismissed. Nobody has rights, just privileges which the ruling gang choose to give it's people and then later take away.
So what is the solution?
I was an 18 year old in the Royal Navy in 1967 during the riots and I find that this item totally distorts the truth. I was in the thick of it attached to the Hk police and carrying liaison team from HMS Hermes to keep in touch with our Helicopters and it was obvious that it was organised by the mainland Maoist little red book government. My land rover was wrecked by a bomb but I was thrown clear by the blast with just abrasians. It was so obvious, a fully equipped hospital for the rioters was discovered by the police I worked with in a block of flats in Wanchai

When people's knowledge evolves to a level, there will be demonstrations of mismanagement of the government.
During the same period, the same situation occurred in mainland Britain and Ireland. Although the ruling government strongly suppressed the incident at the time, but after decades of regime change, the civilized British government followed the trend and the people gained more and more freedom.
But now and in the next few decades, will the Chinese government with only one political party, have a chance for evolve to a higher level of civilization?

The conflicts and escalation didn't spread to involve the leftists in Hong Kong - it happened BECAUSE of the leftists, eager to show their support of Mao's Cultural Revolution up north. They were hoping to repeat the success of the 12-3 Incident (03 Dec 1966) in Macau, but the British didn't back down like the Portuguese did, which in a large part has to do with the backing of the majority of the Hong Kong People who rejected revolutionary politics on Hong Kong soil.
Mr. Tsang is certainly entitled to his own view and experience, but we also have to take into account that he was at the time a young student studying at Heung To Middle School (香島中學) - a famed leftist school in Hong Kong.
I will always stand with Hong Kong
This riot can be shown, but why the Tianemen square cannot 🤔
So Britain just used that place as cheap manpower and when it is finally culturally developed much more than China, they just escaped and refusing take care about that piece of land ?
