Basically, they are stating what we all know, however we try to hide, justify, talk, debate, blog. Who controls the weapons and money ultimately controls everything. The controllers change, but the system always stays the same.
So you want to emigrate. But every nation on Earth is basically that. Hard to say it'll be much better, or worse.
You can't run away, you can't really fight, actively persuading others rarely works.
It probably looks like a last stand.
But it isn't. We have greater relative freedom than anytime in history. The powers that be are more hard-pressed than ever to justify their existences and actions. There is more love than there probably ever was. There are greater numbers of educated, literate people than there ever was. There are more independent thinking, smart people who know what's going on than ever before.
The only moral thing you CAN do is to live a moral life full of love, be a hero (not a victim) and avoid anything immoral.
Your sadness is something to be happy about, cherish and worth understanding. At least you are human. I have worked with heartless people who are incapable of deep feelings. Those are people who are dangerous with authority and you have to be vigilant with. They are the zombies, however competent. Have nothing to do with them.

I agree - in all of history there's no better time than now to participate in civic activism. The potentials offered by the internet is absolutely amazing. It is now much easier for special interests groups to accumulate critical mass, organized through the internet.
Emigration is last resort, IMHO. I am fully aware that other countries also have truck-loads of problems. The UK has tons of problems with regards to corruption and transparency. Taiwan similarly has problems too, as seen in the recent occupy movement. If you do emigrate to these countries, you have the moral duty to participate in local civic and political activism.
But at least with the "democratic" countries you have the opportunity to participate and access to human rights, most of the time. The same cannot be said with the Chinese government. Or whatever hell-hole Hong Kong seems to be heading towards.
I think for our generation, born and grew up in Hong Kong, we see Hong Kong as our home and are willing to stand up and fight for our rights. Previous generations would easily have chosen emigration without fighting. But for this generation, we'd rather stay and struggle, methinks.
