Vidkun Quisling was, as we all know, an effective leader; even in the face of destabilising violence he was able to remain true to his principles and effectively showed loyalty to both the NS government of his own local area and the Berlin government that represented his race as a whole. Truly, a shining example of a leader that remains firm in the face of rioters and hooligan violence. Obviously.

There’s no collaboration. Hong Kong is Chinese.


You can say Luxembourg was German, it was still occupied by the Nazis.
The people of Hong Kong never agreed to be ruled by the PRC. Not all Chinese are ruled by the PRC.

Regardless of ethnicity it is occupation if it is with without consent.

Hong Kong has been Chinese for thousands of years. Even when the UK took it, there was an agreed upon return date.

A semantic distinction. There's also Singapore, Taiwan, HK and a number of other states which consider themselves ethnically Chinese. Are they all under the domain of the Unrechtsstaat of the Peking regime?

Germany and Norway have been separate nations for centuries.

They’re historically and currently Chinese.

The exception would be Singapore since China has no historical claim to it.

And Vienna has historical claims from the Swiss border and the Alps to the Serbian frontier and deep into Ukraine. What's your point?

Hong Kong is Chinese by every relevant metric

So there is no collaboration with an occupying power, if anything, there’s a duty of loyalty to the state

Luxembourg was part of Germany for a thousand years.
That means little.

And it is not the point. Just because they are Chinese does not mean they have agreed to be ruled by the Xi regime instead of some other government.

It should belong to the Federal Republic of Germany if it wants to be. Not otherwise. Not all historically and ethnically German states are ruled by the Federal Republic of Germany.

Just because a previous government ruled a place does not mean a current government has a right to rule it.

What if loyalty to a nation and loyalty to an unjust, terrorising, ethnic cleansing, imperialist-colonialist reich are two different things?

What right does he have to any of it beyond crude might makes right? And even under that metric he does not have a right to rule Taiwan as he is unable to exercise power over it.
