Jiang was pressed on whether Beijing had endorsed a second term for Hong Kong's chief executive Tung Chee-hwa.

To understand the context of Jiang's behavior and reaction in this clip, the Hong Kong Press, is a pro-democracy press that believes in transparency and openly criticizes political leaders without hesitation, something Jiang and the Communist Leaders are certainly not used to, and thus he was very caught off guard by the reporter's questions. But his attitude comes off as patriarchal, and very stereotypically confucian, in that elder men are right, everyone else is wrong. The people of Hong Kong do not, have not, and will never share the same ideological beliefs as the Communist Party of China. They are a unique people to their unique culture and special view of the world that will never conform to that of the Communist Party.

[@Alex-ub6te]

Lol so you are the one who represents the HK people? Good for you.

[@bernardobiritiki]

This clip whent completly over your head, as he said to simple, naive. the reported asked a dumb trick question, she was trying toget him to say imperially appointing" (using language from Imperial China) the (elected) Chief Executive of HK. Instead of just asking the logical question , that is if he suported him or not. And Jiang , correctly , critizided this low form of journalism, just take a look around you and its pretty clear this low brow journalism is all we have today. Also the people of hong kong did not exist as diferent 150 years ago, they arent unique or have any unique world view, the were deliberatly prepared by the british to hate china. Take a look at Macau across the bay, its integrating just fine because the Portuguese didnt impose their culture there just mixed it with the locals.

我喜欢学习中国文化。 在中国，全国各地都有许多又大又漂亮的寺庙。 在民间传说中，有很多关于达摩、特聪、关公菩萨等人物的传说，……所以人们非常相信……佛教有因果法则，有经典教人如何做人。做好事，建塔、抄经、铸造佛像等等，都是有功德的。 但文革期间中国政府毁庙宇、毁佛像、焚烧佛经、强迫僧尼还俗……1989年，很多学生抗议，希望与政府对话，但他们却向抗议者开枪来驱散人群。 1999年，法轮功在中国蓬勃发展，约有一亿修炼者，江泽民担心法轮功会变得比共产党强大，大肆宣传诽谤和残酷镇压……这与良好的传统价值观背道而驰。

not really diverse opinions lol if you listened to his response the journalist was asking low-quality leading questions and trying to get him to say he was "imperially appointing" (using language from Imperial China) the (elected) Chief Executive of HK... sure an autocrat but admittedly he probably had good reason to be distraught and I'd say he probs handled it better than Trump or the like would've (straight up calling people bad journalists, etc.)
