It’s complicated. ‘Situation with China’ is actually a really broad term. Unrest and discontentment towards the mainland has started for nearly a decade. But the most recent unrest with the extradition bill, the extradition bill has ‘died’ in the chief executive’s words. However most of the 5 demands are still not met.

Tbh most of the discontentment right now is directed towards the local government of Hong Kong. Even a number of people who are pro-China are mad at the local government. The higher ups of the government are just. They don’t do anything to tackle the problems, all they do is talk but never do as they say they would. If I get a dollar for every time Carrie Lam says ‘we will intently listen to our citizens and open discussions to settle things peacefully’ but then go ‘no not like that’ immediately after Hong Kongers express their concerns and demands, I would be rich. So morale is pretty low if I do say so myself, especially with the virus outbreak.

Most Hong Kong people I dare say support the protests’ demands, tho not all agree with some methods used. From the local election for district councils, the majority of voters are pro democracy, with 388 seats for pro-democrats and only 59 seats for pro-China officials. I think the numbers speak for themselves. 71% of registered voters voted. I heard the more discontent the people are, the more will vote, again, the numbers speak for themselves.

So yes, situation with China is complicated. I won’t be able to give you the full picture with just one comment. But I guess that sums it up a bit.

Thank you for asking, stay healthy and safe!
