Hong-Kong Protests

While Hong Kong protesters are waving American flags, American protestors are burning it down:

Instead of following the U.S. to sanction China over the "Hong Kong issue", EU and China finished their 29th round of negotiation of the EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (replacement for about 26 EU-China Investment Treaties):

Hong Kongers must be burning their circuits trying to figure out who's side they're suppose to be on.

They're against police brutality yet their number one sponsor have police that murdered an unarmed civilian. But if Hong Kongers dare to be in solidarity with US protestors because Hong Kong police committed human rights violations because they used tear gas, that will get the US government angry at them. If Hong Kongers decide to side with the US government okaying police brutality because murder is worse than tear gas, that means Hong Kongers don't care about human rights especially for others when they want the US. Hong Kongers want sympathy yet do nothing for George Floyd and they want Americans to fight and die in a war with China. Error... Errror...

There are approxmately 300,000 BNO passport holders. And as from now, foreign Secretary Dominic Rabb (yes another buffoon Dominic) have promised extra 6 months stay for these worthless passports. So China should send all these lot on extended vocation to the UK. Gee, I can hear the outcry of xenophobic Britains' in my ears now!

Deport them all!

The irony of karma couldn't be more relevant considering the protests in Minnesota is due to long running sentiment against institutional racism in US while the riots in Hongkong is orchestrated by US funded state actors.

I don't recall anyone here of saying you can't debate here. So please don't say such thing. In fact, your contribution is welcome.

What's up with the drama? I did not hear anyone saying that Terran cant debate either. Perhaps if he had been more credible and had a more defensible position, he could not have felt so.

The great irony is what they wanted to see happen in China because of Hong Kong is what's happening in the US right now. Rioting all over the country. The Minnesota governor charged that the rioting in his state is foreign influenced. You know someone is going to eventually spin and blame China. Of course there wasn't outside influence in Hong Kong... The irony there too is Hong Kongers hate all Chinese to the core yet somehow they thought they were going to inspire sympathy throughout cities in China to protest themselves. Maybe they should've thought not to vilify all Chinese for years. Did they think lowly Chinese would do what superior Hong Kongers say like how lowly Hong Kongers do what their superior colonial masters say?

You can say this about radical rioters, probably all the anti-government fraction of the population. However, many, many HK’ers are proud to be Chinese. Not fair to lump all HKers with the bad apples.

Some quotes directly parallel to HK (in my opinion)

US Attorney General William Barr said that ‘outside radicals and agitators’ have hijacked the protests

Active-duty forces are normally prohibited from acting as a domestic law enforcement agency. But the Insurrection Act offers an exception. There was no indication Saturday that Trump intended to invoke that act.
It would allow the military to take up a policing authority it otherwise would not be allowed to do, enforcing state and federal laws, said Stephen Vladeck, a University of Texas School of Law professor who specialises in constitutional and national security law.

Can you imagine? A national security law that encompasses the entire nation? The “one country” in “one country, two systems”? Quite a bizarre concept if you ask me!

Honestly, it is almost impossible to believe that the HK riots were not largely funded by outside organizations at this point. I remember when I was in University in Canada, it was basically impossible to find a single student who supported American foreign policy. It was all “blood for oil”. I understand that in HK, CCP might be the bigger enemy to student protestors, but I cannot for the life of me imagine that they honestly believe that Trump is some kind of great ally to their cause.

They pigeon-holed me by attacking all Chinese. I'm not from Hong Kong nor the Mainland but they attack me just for being Chinese. That's unacceptable. I'm not going to join up with them when their master is obviously clear. When I see someone say "we're all Chinese" and they get savagely attacked, I'm not going to bother being picky like they don't bother being picky. They think they're superior to me because they like to point out they ain't Chinese, then they're the one that should set the example. All I see is evil trying to bully and intimidate people into "seeing it their way" with no compromise.
