Hong Kong pro-communist lawmakers say there are “class contradictions” in Hong Kong and criticize the bourgeoisie for taking advantage of them.

After pro-democracy lawmakers resign in general, Hong Kong’s Legislative Council is all controlled by the pro-republican business sector

In Hong Kong, pro-Beijing FTU legislator Luk Sung-hung proposed an amendment motion in the General Assembly, asking the government to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and resolve class conflicts.

Speaking in the usual Chinese Communist Party language pattern, Mr. Luk, who is from the labor sector, said, “The deep-rooted conflict is our class conflict. It’s the trickery of one class, taking over another class, and the fruits of social and economic development being plundered by monopoly capitalists.”

But Luk’s motion drew criticism from other sectors, with engineering legislator Lo Wai-kwok saying that Luk’s class conflict argument creates social division.

The wholesale and retail sector’s member of parliament, Mr. Shao Jiahui, believes that Hong Kong should be united at this moment, using class struggle to make society more divided, which is not the general direction, the general trend.

Luk’s amendment was not passed.
