One year after Hong Kong witnessed the dramatic escalation of ongoing anti-CCP, pro-democracy protests, city leader Carrie Lam has requested for Hongkongers to leave behind the chaos of the past year to become good citizens of China for its the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
“The immediate issue is to prove that ‘one country, two systems’ work well in Hong Kong,” Lam said in her weekly press conference on June 9. “[T]o prove that Hong Kong people are reasonable and sensible citizens of the People’s Republic of China—that we could be trusted to continue to have our own way of life, and our own way of systems within the whole country.”
