2/ First of all, during the Cold War, Berlin was the forefront of the two competing ideologies - Capitalism & Communism; ironically, at present, Hong Kong has become the wrestling ground for two ideologies-- Democratic values, liberties versus absolute dictatorship.
3/ The communist party is very eager in expanding its influence in the world and setting up satellite states through economic means. The free world is realizing its intention and preparing itself to resist its threat.
4/ Diplomatic experts already pointed out that the ongoing tension between China and US had structurally changed the world order & would eventually escalate into the new Cold War. The trade dispute is only the beginning, there lies the information and technology competition.
5/ The development in 2020 has proven so. And Hong Kong is like Berlin, not being physically divided into four occupation zones, but is divided into two opposing ideologies-- the government that supports the dictatorship and those who support freedom and democracy.
6/ However, if HK falls, the domino effect will follow, it will hinder the world’s economy & the beliefs of democracy. That is why we, HKers are not just fighting this uphill battle for our own. The world and we, are all in this together.
