Relations between China and Hong Kong (feat. Chinese Idol)




Watching the 'criminal extradition' protests now taking place in Hong Kong, I simply thought, "Oh Hong Kongers, like the people of our country, stand up and protest and fight for their rights." It's not my job, but I feel like I'm taking a bite at a distance.
Then, I was shocked and interested when I saw a message on SNS saying, "Chinese idols who are mainly active in Korea have released articles supporting China." As Hong Kongers, including not only Chinese but also Taiwanese, support China, I wonder if there are other reasons for their own.


Why are they supporting China? 
​
After China lost its Opium War with Britain during the Qing Dynasty, China was forced to hand over Hong Kong, and Hong Kong became a British colony. Hong Kong, then a British colony for 150 years, will not return to Chinese territory until 1997.
​

 For Britain, which cannot simply return Hong Kong, China promises to keep its colonial-era system of capitalism and democracy intact and to "one-two" Hong Kong for 50 years as a special administrative region. 
One-state Yangje means one country, two systems and is applied to Hong Kong, Macau (a former colony of Portugal).
​
This historical background seems to be why China is emphasizing that while acknowledging the other system, the 'one China' is the only country in the world, and continues to try to absorb Hong Kong and other disputed areas into the mainland.

 As we learned, Hong Kong and Macau citizens have Chinese citizenship, but their passports are different from those of China with Hong Kong and Macao passports, and mail with China is also considered international mail and can be inspected by customs.



Perhaps the cultural and emotional differences with China felt by citizens of Hong Kong and Macau are greater than I think. If I have a chance someday, I would like to talk to people in China and Hong Kong. What do you actually have in mind? 
I didn't know until now, but I found out not only about the repatriation law, but also that Hong Kong and its citizens have been fighting with China, and that not only Hong Kong but also Macau and Taiwan continue to resist reunification by absorption into mainland China.
​

 At this point, it should come to a conclusion on why Chinese idol groups support China on SNS, but I honestly don't

 The K-pop idol, who has global activities and fans, should have supported not only China but also the people of the world watching with concern and interest, should have supported one side, but I think it would be wise not to just express its position. 
But idol groups are not supposed to hide their political leanings, and I, a different country person, have recognized only cross-sectional things and have no idea how people in the two countries actually feel or understand them, so it would be hard to relate to them. (More personally, I think it is wrong to support Hong Kong police who violently suppressed them regardless of nationality or political orientation.)

Logitech G331 Stereo Gaming Headset Review

이미지
Logitech is introducing a variety of gaming gears under the G-gaming brand, expanding its product lineup to a variety of areas, away from being simply an input device manufacturer for PCs such as keyboard mice. In particular, it is one of the most active companies to market gaming headsets today. The Logitech G331 is a new entry-level stereo headset that excludes additional features such as USB DAC and supports purely analog terminals. Here, the parent model with USB DAC is Logitech G431. In this way, Logitech has split its headset lineup into considerable detail to respond to the diverse needs of gamers. Since the Logitech G331 is a stereo headset that supports analog connections only, the packaging configuration is much simpler than other higher-end models. The component is a simple configuration with only Y cables for connecting your PC sound card. Previous Logitech headsets were based on Y cables with analog terminals separated from microphone out...

Bluetooth earphone Iriver itw-d500 Review

이미지
At some point, there are a lot of cordless earphones that connect wirelessly even if you're walking on the subway, bus, or street. Merritt, who is free from the line and is free to use it with no risk of short-circuit and comfortable use, and the break-up, buckling and delay rates, which have been a chronic problem for all wireless earphones, seem to have improved quite a bit in recent years. Although there were a lot of heavy and rugged designs depending on additional functions in the beginning, there are many products that can be used cleanly and lightly these days. The same is true of the Iriver ITW-D500 we are currently using. This is a Bluetooth earphone that I would like to recommend to those looking for a product that is simple, light, and affordable. When I was in middle and high school, my first MP3 and PMP and electronic dictionaries were so stylish and neat that I always chose Iriver. Before the full-scale spread of smartphones, music was listened to by the...

KPOP Twice JiHyo photos and introduce

이미지
She is the leader of the nine-member girl group TWICE, which debuted on Oct. 20, 2015 at JYP. The catchphrase is Mike, a sad-looking leader in charge of hosting the main vocal and comment in the team. On August 19, 2004, his parents participated in the first Junior Naver Child Star Competition and won the second prize, and was cast by JYP. Since then, Jihyo has endured more than 10 years of trainee life from July 15, 2005 to Oct. 20, 2015. During my trainee life, I appeared as a model for Tien Reebok CF. During that time, I watched the entire debut of the Wonder Girls and Miss A. In fact, when SIXTEEN started, members of Miss A could watch a video of their special support saying that they were trainees with Jihyo. In the SIXTEEN 1:1 mission, Sandeul, who was once a member of JYP, recognized Jihyo at once.
