Mandarin speaking office worker on lunch break harassed by so-called Hong Kong press, who refused to show him press ID. Worker says "We’re All Chinese!" before trying to return to his office. 2 masked white guys acting like journalists blocked his way by standing in front of him & shutting the door before he could enter. Hong Kong protester attacked him from behind.
Hong Kong protesters are justifying the attack as "protecting the movement".

My 2c: A lot of HKers are elitist wankers who for a long time have looked down on mainlanders. I've met some myself, they hate being called Chinese, even though they are by race & nationality. Seeing a successful mainlander would really get under their skin & in their fucked reasoning, justify the attack. There are loads of videos like this, of mainlanders being attacked just because of where they are from. It's pure xenophobia.

Maybe they just don't want to be ruled by Communist?

Likelihood is they could keep their autonomy if they act like civilised human beans, the 2047 date was set as a minimum period. They might not even make it to 2047 at this rate.

likelihood? did you completely forget what events caused the current unrest?

An extradition treaty proposed by HKSAR govt between HK & PRC+RoC that was taken by a lot of HKers as an encroachment on their autonomy. The bill was dropped after 2 weekends of demonstrations. The 2nd weekend was largely a reaction to the violence in the 1st weekend & was twice the size, causing more outrage as protesters atacked cops & were met with tear gas. It snowballed from there. Did I miss anything?

Are you fucking kidding me? I thought you might turn down the volume on your praising of the Chinese Communist Party. IT'S A POLICE STATE, DINMIN. You post about the Hong Kong protestors constantly but ignore the police state of China. It's just plain weird. Cue up threats of banning me.

America has 6X the prison population per capita as China. What kind of dystopia are you living in where you're 6X worse off than a police state?
(Old Spike)
China executes 23 times more people per capita than the US per year.
(sounds retarded)
True, nobody thinks about it that why, mass media brainwashing. We have CIA plants working for lamestream media corps and everyones OK with it. We had an attempted coup on our president but everyone is so misinformed nobody even realizes its happening again.

false equivalency. america's prison population is a problem, that doesn't mean the police state in china isn't a problem.
also, only the people in prison in america are worse off, and even then it's debatable because even in prison they're still allowed to say what they think. it's not even close to the fear of a billion people who face "re-education" if they disagree with the party.
note how in the country you live in not only are you free to disagree with the government, you can even go as far as to vote against them.
all our countries have problems, but how do any of them even approach the hideousness of the thought control imposed on the entire population that china has?
(Old Spike)
Both governments prevent any challenge to their rule in their own ways. Government propaganda (thought control) in the West is far more sophisticated & often hidden from plain view.
Lying to the public while presenting the "news" is enshrined by law in America but illegal in China. Which do you prefer?
Overall the Chinese are far happier with their government rn than Americans. Where's all this freedom of choice going if it's not acutally bringing about policies people are happy with?
Do you think it's interesting how a post involving HKers attacking a mainland Chinese becomes all about how bad you perceive the CCP to be? And yet you're the ones who claim you're not under thought control. Hmmmmmmmm........
(Old Spike)
I think it's interesting how in China expressing anything other than happiness about your government risks placing you in a re-education camp.
