During the height of the Cultural Revolution in1967 , when disturbances had spread to Hong Kong , KCR railway workers had to contend with through freight trains arriving from the Mainland at Tsim Sha Tsui with their wagons festooned with anti-British slogans. This also included some disturbing additions hanging  down the wagon sides. The slogan daubed on the end of the wagon reads 打 倒英帝 (" Da Dao Yingdi" - equivalent to "Down with British Imperialism" )

I should have added a rider to my own comment...... If the current British Defence mininster carries out his recent promise to send a Royal Navy aircraft carrier to patrol the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea ........we might well see slogans like this appearing once again. devil smiley
