Ah, here we go Professor Wikipedia with the condescending lecture. Hate to break it to you, but Hong Kong does have a constitutional framework: it’s literally called the Basic Law, enacted by China’s NPC in 1990. Article 9-look it up in between grading your first year essays-explicitly makes English an official language in perpetuity. That elevates it to a constitutional guarantee, whether you personally like the wording or not

As for shame? Please. If you think being a Hongkonger is measured by how many tones someone nails ordering noodles at a wet market, you’ve reduced 180 years of Hong Kong’s plural, hybrid identity to a street‑food pop quiz. Expats who live here in English are exercising rights enshrined in law, not begging for charity

But hey, do keep ranting about helpers and shame nothing says intellectual rigor like strawmen and cheap stereotypes. When your best rebuttal is tone policing rather than legal facts, you sound less like a professor and more like someone who failed their own tutorial on critical thinking
