HKFP: Hongkongers’ lack of sovereignty does not equal lack of dignity

"But our position of weakness is not an inherent failure of the Hong Kong people, but a failure of the system we inherited – a failure of history because the British did not give Hong Kong independence after World War II, like the rest of Asia, when China was weak and embroiled in a civil war.

Our lack of sovereingty and our position of weakness does not equate to a lack of dignity."
