One of the most prominent figures of Hong Kong's umbrella movement is professor Dr Frnando Cheung who heads the Labour Party in Hong Kong. They have been in a desperate fight for retaining their democracy that China continues to threaten since reclaiming the island from Great Britain back a decade or two ago. Max Keiser had this great fighter for freedom on is sow and they discussed Hong Kong in detail and the great in equality that currently exists in there. They talked a bit about mainland Chinese coming and disrupting the housing market in Hong Kong and ow this process is being repeated throughout the world in the city-states China is slowly colonizing and influencing with their cash.
Cheung sidestepped the fact made by Keiser that what is happening with firmer increased Chinese control in Hong Kong and delegating who to rule is also happening in this new Sinocolonilalism in Africa and elsewhere as sick wealthy Chinese buy up these properties driving p the hosing costs of workers and those who want to live in these areas. Capital from the mainland continues to flow into Hong Kong and the residents are rightfully worried about tis encroachment from China threatens to overwhelm them and change the important institutions for the free -market that took hundreds of years to develop efficiently in Hong Kong. Keiser has brought up many times ow mainland Chinese drive up costs and those to politically connected have to live in shoe box dwellings to be near the city and the economic engine that hoarding wads of cash from Wal Mart shopping cheap addictive purchasing suckers in America. for it is these fools and their willingness to buy Everything made in China that props this authoritarian regime in China and threatens all of her neighbors and our own living standard. A good discussion and look at what is really happening with all these protests and fight for voting abilities which China is trying o hard to attenuate for the citizens of Hong Kong
