Notable quotes

“In Hong Kong, "locust" is a derogatory term for immigrants and tourists from China... In turn, mainlanders view Hong Kongers as overly superior and patronising.”
— David Eimer, "Hong Kong rails against invasion of Chinese 'locusts'" (2 February 2012), The Telegraph
“The Stalinist and Maoist confession ritual has returned in a new setting. It no longer takes place in factories or stadiums. It unfolds on television screens, in online videos, and in competitions for schoolchildren. The machinery of remorse has adapted to a modern media economy, and Hong Kong has become one of its stages.”
— Gladys Kwok (pseudonym), "Communist Confession Rituals Return in Hong Kong", Bitter Winter (August 13, 2026)
“Are they not Chinese themselves? I heard that Hong Kong people were educated and civilized. It seems I was wrong.”
— Ma He, as quoted in "'Anti-Locust' Protests In Hong Kong Call For Restrictions On Chinese Mainland Tourists" (19 February 2014), by Michelle Florcruz, International Business Times
“We start from scratch, every generation. History does not bend inevitably toward justice, or freedom, or decency, or even stability. History doesn’t do that in Hong Kong, or in Moscow, or in Washington or New York City or Los Angeles. History goes where we push it. And if we don’t push, someone else will.”
— Kevin D. Williamson, "The End of (Whig) History" (1 July 2020), National Review
“[Students with learning disabilities] don't even know what a country is, let alone [talk] about national security. It's pretty fanciful and unrealistic.”
— Education blogger Yeung Wing Yu, as quoted about the Chinese Communist Party requiring students with learning disabilities to learn the Constitution, the Basic Law and national security education in "Hong Kong officials want louder singing of national anthem in schools", Radio Free Asia (June 27, 2024)
