Very true’ lots of very naive and stupid Hong Kong students were enticed by 15 minutes of fame to go to Beijing to join some protest.
Our screwed up devil worshipper governor Chris Patten nurtured a lot of naive students and recruited a lot of operatives in the years prior to 1989. He with MI6 were trying to derail the handing back of Hong Kong to China.

They tried to collapse the Chinese government prior to destroying the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union.

Thank heavens the Chinese were resilient .
