Several highly-educated Mainland China associates and colleagues have shared such thoughts with me and expressed general disdain for the HK protestors.

This interview was in Melbourne, Australia. Many of the interviewees were mainland students in Australia.

Not saying your associates and colleagues must be like one of them. Just offering one possible explanation.

You can also test their knowledge, by asking them about the Five Demands of Hong Kong protestors, and also Hong Kong legislative and government structures. Some of the answers can be found in the original article.

I met some while I was studying at a top 5 university in the U.S. One had come out of the fog after studying a decade in Singapore. He could look back clearly at the brainwashing and described how it is done, but it takes many years on the outside for even very intelligent people to realize what has been done.

Props to China though for having a pretty effective system.
