Some view the recent shutdown of a Cantonese advocacy group as the latest crackdown on civil liberties in the former British colony.

    Suppressing the local language. Happened in Australia, the Americas, and so many other places. It’s a symptom of the overall racism.

      “local language” lmao Curious, what about those up to 100 million cantonese speaking in mainland China? They forgot to surpress them too? Oops! Clearly, gents, this guy got arrested because the cantonese language of those 7 million living in HK are a thread!

    Can´t control the population if they have their own language.

    They’re doing the same thing they did back in the 90s with Shanghainese, this time on a much larger scale. Disgusting.

    I have a hunch this language suppression meme is fake news. I’ll get back to you guys in a decade or two to see if I was right.
