Some numbers I read on youtube: HK's high school educated population: 82% College educated: 33% Age 18-22, half of them are in or have graduated from college HK's managerial/administrative/professional jobs market combined, stays 17% for the last 10+ years. And HK's high cost of living and high operation cost has chased away all the other industries. I call it the "super middle income trap" case. A good comparison is Singapore, whose government had been working very hard to retain the high quality professional jobs in manufacturing, oil refinement etc. In other words, you have to be the top 17% (either by being smart or being born to the right parents) from your age group to find appropriately paid jobs when you graduate. If you are the 18%-50% in your age group, you are going to have to settle for a lower paid job that doesn't really need higher education. And you are already behind from having paid for the college education. Or you can find a job outside of HK. I don't want to be mean but its easier for a Taiwanese graduate to find a job in mainland than a Hong Konger.

Taiwanese overwhelmingly speak Mandarin as a native language at least. Hong Kongers learn it as a second language in school.

I thought it would be the reverse It's Beijing's new policy toward Taiwan, skipping the TW government and directly treat Taiwanese as Chinese citizen both in domestic job/education/property ownership rights, and oversea embassy assistance. There is also the problem of Taiwanese starting wages haven't increased in the last 20 years.

It should be less of a 'push' and more of a 'move to codify same sex marriages as equal in law' since the party can just, you know, do that, but I'm glad there is at least SOME movement being made.

This may be scaremongering but I just finished reading "the country of ice cream star" and this has me a little hosed in the head since it's literally what happens in the book. Great read tho if you can get used to the post apocalypse vernacular the entire book is written in.

probably a generational gap as well. a mainland friend i was talking to said that was a thing in terms of views about foreigners, as older people can have more xenophobic attitudes. pretty common in a lot of places!

probably russia might be like this. i remember a few years ago watching alexander dugin on the equivalent of the russian bill o'reilly show, and dugin was ranting about LGBT as a western cosmopolitan plot and even this bill o'reilly type guy was like "uhhh" and thought dugin was a fuckin weirdo. this isn't apologism, but the worst thing to do is to have these neoconservative ghouls like jamie kirchick show up waving the pride flag while saying "we're gonna bomb your country so you can be free to be gay" as that will only embolden the dugin types. dated a guy from india once who explained to me that's exactly what happens there as the modi/BJP/RSS gang exploits that for their own purposes

China is nowhere near as LGBT friendly as major US cities are now and neither compares to Taiwan. It's complex to be sure, but being openly gay is still tough and there's not a lot of room for nonbinary etc. For example, gay films in china are still taboo for the censors (and in America we import Taiwanese directors to make them when they need to be a commercial success lol) I think Taiwan is the only country with more female to male trans folk in the world.

The smart move for China would be to assert complete dominion and control and then accede to every HK whim as a test of that style of governance while spinning a narrative of cautious skepticism to the mainland.

From my experience there are a lot of younger Chinese people that take trans people at face value, but get nervous about Ls Gs and Bs. Maybe this is just the artsy ones, idk

I think it's contentious but homophobia and transphobia are also products of western cultural hegemony and most cultures didn't seem to give a poo poo. I think some central asian cultures traditionally felt comfortable with different sexualities as long as gender and sexuality lined up i.e. gay men were socially women. Or even some families who only had daughters might raise one as a son until she gets married etc. I think the LGTBQ+ revolution that's been happening the past few decades, especially in west and west adjacent cultures, is a return to norms rather than a reinvention of norms. But this isn't a topic I know a lot about... Just know that Chinese culture didn't even think homosexuality was interesting enough to gossip about until jesuits were in the imperial court.

See, if they'd only let the guy who came up with this direct mainland-Taiwan policy, instead of one of the several guys who poo poo their pants and throw it at people, there might have been reunification by now. But instead we get these repeated pointless goddamn tantrums about every setback on a yearly basis, and... well, China. I guess sooner or later they'll realise that having a hereditary government system sucks.

Being gay in China isn't difficult because of Jesus, it's because if you're gay you're not going to make babies and that of course means there's no one to give elderly relatives money. All of my gay friends who are married to Chinese people (legally married outside of China) are referred to as just "friends" when they visit the mainland.

All of my gay friends who are married to Chinese people (legally married outside of China) are referred to as just "friends" when they visit the mainland. Yeah, if you're willing to get married (to the opposite sex) and have babies then the biggest hurdles are the partner and their family being OK with the whole thing. If they are (or if enough money / stuff changes hands to make it OK), then it's not such a big deal. However, you often get bullshit like parents who know full well that their children are gay matchmaking regardless, leading to angry/suicidal partners when they realise their marriage is a lie.
