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!
