Sorry Just4Fun. I did not suggest india bring back corporal punishment on Kashmir. What I meant was since HK protester are nostalgic of British rule, HK Police can emulate the British practice. Caning and flogging for petty crimes was still being practice at least until 1989 or likely later, 5 years after the Sino-British Joint Declaration on the question of Hong Kong. Human Rights apparently was the least of UK concern when the joint declaration was signed.

BTW. Don't think caning and flogging was as widely practice in Australia and NZ.

Caning and flogging in public are the best tools to punish the people committing petty crimes. One of the reasons why Singapore has the lowest crime rate in Asia, and why Singapore has the best economy in the world, is that it still uses public caning to punish the trouble-makers.

HK should re-install caning and flogging in public if it wants to compete with Singapore. And China should too.

I am tired of Western trashy talk of Human Rights. What can be said a Human Rights, and what can't be? Who has the right / authority to determine this?

If canning and flogging are violations to human rights, then what can be said about the behavior that the British had never allowed universal suffrage in HK for 99 years while it ruled HK, then suddenly promised it to HKers when its ruling on HK was ended? Shouldn't we flog the British guys for their shameful hypocrisy and evilly motivations?

Caning and flogging are most effective in heavily populated areas because they have corporal and mental impacts. For Aussies and Kiwis, shooting was. and still is, the best.

This incident reminds me of another facet of the self-racist Hong Kong riots the Western and English media have not reported on is that the self-racist rioters have been both verbally and physically harassing and attacking visitors from mainland China as well as Hong Kong businesses that primarily serve visitors from mainland China or are suspected to be/run by China-friendly Hong Kongers. The alleged triad members/"white shirts" are Hong Kong villagers who live close to the border with mainland China, they only became involved and hostile to the self-racist rioters only after the self-racist rioters attacked these villagers' businesses and their customers.

That's great! But as Vesicles and I have been saying, if UK feels their honour is at stake! Then they are free to send in the gunboats just like did twice with China and countless other times, most recently the Suez canal debacle!

Actually most recently in a significant way would be with the Falklands.

That's not far of the mark as you think. (I know its a joke kind of way).

Let me explaine.

Just before Hong Kong were due to be return to China, Britain thought long and hard on how to squeeze one last drop of gold from Hong Kong!

Then, hey presto. The airport project was devised. Much to the annoyance of the Chinese.

This project squeeze so much money out of Hong Kong, in fact Hong Kong people still paying for it now.

I was working in London at that time, I have a friend that run an employment agency in Kingston, London. The amount he and his cohort is raking in you wont believe. He keep telling me its thanks to Hong Kong that he was able to buy his house outright!

He supply all labour to the airport project. And all the finance was raised in. London, meaning they are still reaping the reward on the repayment on the loan.

HSBC make so much money then, and all through 150 years of operating in Hong Kong, upsticks and move to the UK just before the handover.

This is why, you wont see me banking with HSBC in the UK.

You remind me of another benefit to the US in destabilizing Hong Kong. Besides from the problems it creates for China it also weakens the UK economically on top of Brexit, just as making a mess in Libya also weakened Italy economically, the US prefers junior partners just like its current president in his romantic life.

So far these Hong Kong protesters live up well to stereotypes of Chinese as copycats copying other protests.

Heard of "not in my backyard"? That's the problem with private companies providing public goods, they do not have the public good in mind, in this case giving rioters free rides to resist arrest and cheat justice.

Such a cowardly behavior: A few of the mobster encircling and wrestling down an old man and hitting another old man from the back.

These people are behaving like they are being hypnotized en masse and out of their mind. They believe they can be without any morality in fighting for their "cause" whatever it may be.
