YouTube wastes a lot of my time but it can be educational sometimes. Watching the channels respectively run by “blue” (pro-China) and “yellow” (anti-China) presenters can be quite entertaining, especially when it comes to claims about the state of contemporary Britain. According to one group, it’s a hellhole rapidly descending into third-world status; to the other, paradise on earth. You probably get a much clearer picture, though, from the “UK” section of the BBC news service, which also has a Chinese-language version.
A recent Facebook post by Hong Kong billionaire Jacinto Tong Man-leung about a family of returnees from Britain after a brief stint at emigration has been quoted approvingly by many online blue commentators. However, I am not quite sure the post actually says what it means to say.
