They were smarter than you, and that explains why they colonized you, While Africans were still running in village naked, European already had Well planned Cities with great architecture, They invented most of the things we used today, Trains, Cars, Skyscrapers, Aeroplane's, Guns, Television, E.t.c Including that phone you're using!

It's a bit unfair and it fails to acknowledge the sheer brilliance and hard work of the people of Hong Kong to write off their success as simply being the result of Western influence.

Other small countries like Singapore and Taiwan (which is de facto an independent country) have also to a large extent replicated the achievements of Hong Kong.

You are right. Could be the way I phrased my post in the afternoon..But I did mention that they do have examplary work ethics.. Obviously, the point I was trying to make was that the Hong Kong colony benefitted a lot from being in the western sphere of influence during those years of ideological confrontations between the Communists and the capitalists.. That said, Hong Kong trained a lot of her citizens in management/finance courses abroad. This helped to solidify her position as a financial/commercial capital in Asia..

You start a good thread, then you whimsically turn it into a bashing fest..., blasting Africa to smithereens.. it's unnecessary. You need to read a lot of African history tho.. Take it from me, you will be stunned with the level of relative sophistication witnessed in different African societies pre colonialism.

this isn't bashing, this is pure fact. Let's talk, pre-colonialism you say?
What has been a black man contribution to modernization ? We should be thankful for colonization.

From the barbaric killing of twins in calabar. To human sacrifice in oyo to even this English we are writing.

Please leave Egypt out of it, cos last time I checked they are the only "African" country with some form of pre-colonialism technological advancement.

Please let's have a civil conversation, I really want to learn

I hate hearing this usual trash all the time, If Africa were that great Pre-colonialism as you claimed, if they were smart enough, They wouldn't have been colonized at all!!

Africa is the only continent that suffered from slavery the most, As a matter of fact, Our great grandfather's sold their fellow black men to white men in exchange for Mirrors!!

Stop defending this rubbish, Africans were never smart right from the beginning!!

the region maintains a regulated border with the rest of the China. All travellers between Hong Kong and China and Macau must pass through border controls, regardless of nationality. Mainland Chinese citizens do not have right of abode in Hong Kong and are subject to immigration controls.

Just say you were never smart from the get go and we're fine but don't dare lump me into that self depreciating rant cos I have no interest in that. The Jews were enslaved! They would have been scattered all over the world today if the west didn't take good steps to forcefully repatriate them back to where they are today. Its that help that led to the creation of the Zionist state, one of the most powerful states today in the world.
Africans were not the only ones enslaved in history! Whites enslaved fellow whites, blacks enslaved fellow blacks! Bad as that maybe, it was a historical reality at a point across races! Trans Atlantic trade became so obvious because of the remarkable color distinction and racism that came with it. Africa had thriving empires! Evolving empires that were home grown, the same way empires grew elsewhere.

Yes, some other cultures fast tracked the process of modernising their cultural tools, and they should be commended for that. But if that makes you feel you are genetically inferior, that's your own kettle of fish.. I have travelled around too well to know it's a culture thing and has little to do with skin color. . 30 years ago, the world was laughing at the Chinese for their poverty and bicycle culture. Who drives the best cars and build the best gadgets today!? China! But nextdoor to China is Laos! A country sharing the same Asian ancestry with other progressive Asian countries but still lacking in all sorts of developmental indices like some African states. South Korea and north Korea? The same people, different political/economic allignments.., different results... What am I even doing here trying to prove to you that I'm human enough? Bros, go and read your history..,

You started this trend on a good note, and I was enjoying it till I came across this post. This singular post of yours summarizes the mindset of most average Nigerian and Africans in general - self hate/inferiority complex which is as a result of miseducation and whitewashed of African history - which has sadly limited our thoughts process.

Africa, pre colonial era had well structured cities and empires - Ghana, Mali, Songhai, Benin, Bornu, Igbos etc that can be compared head-to-head to most European countries of that time. But, how we declined in the later century to where we are today was/is as a result of foreign Religion introduced by foreigners in Africa.

The Conversion of Malis' ruling class to Islam was a turning point to the destruction of that empire as successive emperors launched different holy war to forcefully convert weaker countries to Islam thereby weakening that once beautiful and prosperous empire. Songhai followed suit and ended up the same way as her predecessor.

As these empires crumbed, the hinterlands became vunerable to attacks and later large scale capturing and movement of slaves ever known to humanity took place onwards till mid 19th century.

Africa had beautiful historical heritage and people,and all we need right now is to tell our stories by ourselves else we will keep running around in a cycle.

You're absolutely right @OP, Hong Kong is highly developed. currently running a program in HK and I must confess that with the few places I have visited here and things I have seen, these guys are miles ahead of us. the one blowing mind is their transportation system, so efficient.
