Hong Kong was a colony at the time. That was the time when Egypt,
India, and many other former colonies of western imperialism finally
rose up and said "enough is enough". The term "liberation" was not
only appropriate, but fashionable. And the Chinese Premier and
statesman Zhou Enlai was seen hobnobbing with Egypt's Gamal Abdul
Nasser and India's Jawaharlal Nehru, as representatives of nations
that arose from European colonialism.

Only blind imperialist lackeys today continue to be blind to how the
Chinese people of 1.2 billions have been feeling since 1919's May 4th
Movement. Nobody has any business talking about China without first
understanding the modern history of China.

The word was apropos - apropos with reference to the situation being
discussed.
