If not, honestly you won't be interested either.

I wonder what the attitude is among the many ethnic Chinese abroad who don't speak or write Chinese, or at least who don't default to it as a mother tongue or frequently engage in discourse about it.

Seems like a lot of them are for it, especially since many of them are from families that fled CCP rule.

Of course they don’t.

Most ethnic Chinese who can't speak Chinese either don't know or don't care what is happening in HK.

This is a report by a Chinese American journalist. Right to the point.

This is such a bogus statement I don't even know where to start.

This has nothing to do with your above statement and while I certainly will agree there is anti-mainland sentiment, it's not hard to understand why people in HK may harbor it, even if you don't agree with it.

The support is high among the HK youths but low among the senior citizens.
Most old immigrants from HK in western countries don't support the violence in HK too.

The violence and the economy turning bad due to less tourists, local diners and shoppers are the main reasons most non young HK Chinese are not supporting. Businesses and employers are losing in HK.

Foreign banks in HK may move their main Asia base to Singapore if the situation deteriorates.

foreign banks in HK will move to singapore regardless of the situation. Singapore can be controlled by western powers. You cannot trust a communist. Look at what happened to tibeteans and the uighers. Its soon going to happen to the HKers.

Western businesses don't care about politics, like Asian businesses they only care about stability which is important to their profit. This is the reason they want to move to Singapore from HK.
The main bad point is Singapore is not as close as HK to Mainland China, Japan and South Korea, the large economic powers of Asia.

There was a small demonstration of support in Boston Common, by HK immigrants. But that was before violence started to emerge.

As you may have known, many "political refugees" from China are not real refugees. They were just farmers from Fujian and fabricated stories to get a green card. Although they escaped from China, they actually support China in many occasions.
