Reply to comment by drpvn in Top aide to NYC Councilman Christopher Marte accused of berating reporter with sexist slurs by drpvn
As a Hong Konger (who lives in NYC), fuck Sing Tao.
Also "fuck you" and "fuck your mother" (DLLM) are pretty pedestrian. You hear it all the time in Cantonese to denote frustration or disappointment.
It's unacceptable here, especially from an official, but I thought I'd add the cultural context.

They were also made to register as foreign agents in the US in 2021: https://twitter.com/axios/status/1430527894535688195
