I’m out of the loop here. I thought Cantonese is popularly spoken in China (and other parts of the world with Chinese immigrants/descendants). So even in China (like Guangdong), is Cantonese used very limitedly?

in the last few years the CCP has been trying to erase HK culture and language and replace it with theirs, it's all to create "cohesiveness"

it is a language spoken in southern china (guangdong province, hong kong, macau). Most of china (mainland china) speaks mandarin, it's the largest of the chinese dialect groups. it's 'standard' chinese.

Not just HK but all over the world. The CCP claim ownership of all Chinese, regardless of citizenship. They even open illegal "police stations" in Western countries to harrass Chinese emigrants.
