Without going into too much detail, there is a "localist" movement here which likes to think of itself as being pro-independence. The fact that some of them camp outside the British consulate and put up banners in Korean probably tells you more about them than anything else.

Hong Kong is part of China, although there are significant differences. In context, a lot of the stuff he highlights is just typical "localist" shit-stirring.

It happens. I'm pretty chilled out as I don't even directly own any HK, let alone PRC, stocks. It's the grannies who piled in on margin finance who are getting slaughtered and who are feeling the pain.
