When the english was ruling hong kong, you don't see much media showing their own corruption etc, instead there was alot of anti china shit.
Nobody alive in hong kong right now remember how it was when the english took over, there was massive resistance to the new ruler and and wanting to stay under Chinese jurisdiction.
Couple generation of brainwash later, same thing is happening to the current generation resisting their new master or rather their original master. You think Chinese are corrupt, the English are not that far off.
anyways you can enjoy this without getting political. This series is not very well receive in HK because of the same mentality. I am just glad season 2 is confirm go ahead

Not to turn this into a political thread, but you aren't equating 1800's colonialism with modern day rule are you?
I mean if you're completely detached from the situation, I guess it's easy to just say what you're saying. In that case, you can ignore the bullshit propaganda and just enjoy the show.
Don't try to find a way to justify how others feel about it though, by comparing it to how the british did things 200 years ago
I appreciate the warning by Budong. Ip Man was already ruined for me, I don't want to go through that again, enjoying a show only to be completely shit on by propaganda. Not only did they rewrite his history (and he is an important figure in Hong Kong history), they completely reversed it, trying to make him look like a pro-PRC communist rather than emigrating to escape from them after the civil war
