For Kwong, the service is a promise he made to his father.

"I gave my word to my father, who's now passed away, that I would do something for the community," Kwong said. "And if you shut us down, where are these 25,000 people going to go? We're one of the last services left. We have no more supermarket. We have no more hospital."

Why Asia’s Richest Man Walked Away from China | The Li Ka-shing Exit You Were Never Meant to Notice

Li Ka-shing wasn’t just a billionaire—he was the billionaire. Nicknamed “Superman” in Hong Kong, he built a $30 billion empire spanning real estate, ports, telecoms, and utilities. But starting in 2013, while the world was still praising China’s rise, Li began quietly pulling his money out of the mainland.

This video unpacks why one of Asia’s most legendary business minds abandoned China—and what it reveals about China’s uncertain future under Xi Jinping. From massive asset sales in China to billions reinvested in the West… from Hong Kong's political collapse to China’s interference in Li’s attempted Panama port sale… this is more than a business story. It’s a strategic warning.

👉 China’s richest and smartest don’t trust the system anymore. So why should you?

One Country, Two Systems Is the Biggest Lie China Ever Told

"One Country, Two Systems" was never real — it was China's biggest geopolitical con. In this video, I expose how Deng Xiaoping deceived Margaret Thatcher in 1984, how Hong Kong went from global financial hub to political police state, and why Taiwan will NEVER fall for the same trap.

The Chinese Communist Party promised freedom.
They delivered surveillance, censorship, and fear.
This is the real story of how China broke its promise to Hong Kong — and why the world can no longer trust anything it says.

Beijing’s tightening grip turned a global hub into a political prison. From the Umbrella Movement to the National Security Law, freedom was erased piece by piece — and with it, the prosperity that made Hong Kong unique.

This video breaks down how killing culture killed the cash, why investors fled, and what lessons Taiwan and the world must take from Hong Kong’s fall.

China Peaked 2000 Years Ago When Divided But Declined When United 08/23/2025 by ♭♫ [+-]

Did China really peak when it was united? The evidence says no. China’s true golden age was over 2,000 years ago—when it was divided into rival states. That messy competition sparked new ideas, new philosophies, and the Hundred Schools of Thought. But once Qin unified China, one emperor’s veto could shut down entire eras of progress.

This video explores why unity became China’s weakness, not its strength—through geography, politics, and a head-to-head between Zheng He’s canceled treasure fleets and Columbus’s scrappy voyage that changed the world. Europe thrived on fragmentation. China stagnated on centralization. And the same Qin template still shapes China today.

If you want to understand why Europe surged ahead while China fell behind, this is the story.

I am hyper-aware and hypervigilant about my behavior in public because I am acutely aware of Sinophobia and the stereotypes against Chinese people. I constantly strive not to contribute to these stereotypes.

Absolutely not! I will be more proud because I am Chinese!
