What an odd mix of totally innocuous comparisons (Hong Kong Dollar vs Renminbi), fairly justified criticisms of China's government, and nationalistic drivel.

I did at least find it amusing that the sentence the artist chose to contrast the age of Mandarin and Cantonese was "Fuck your mother."

I was confused by the picture with the phone numbers, until I realized it was a veiled reference to the Tiananmen Square massacre, which is known as the June 4th incident in China (literally, "six four incident").
