the Chinese envoy was pointing out that further riots would only be detrimental to their safety?

How many Canadians were hurt in the protests since 2019? Some police officers were injured, but I've not heard about hundreds or even dozens of Canadians being attacked.

Also clearly whether Canada offers asylum to HK residents has nothing to do with future protests. If anything it makes violence less likely as it means people unhappy with the situation in HK have somewhere to go.

I guess it helps when Triad members aren't roaming subway stations and beating up random people. :)

By the way, have any of them been convicted over the Yuen Long attack yet? I mean, it's only been more than a year.

Nah, that's like a citizen's arrest, like in the more reasonable Western countries, if you see thugs beating on somebody and threatening their lives, and you beat up the thugs to rescue the victims, you wouldn't be in any trouble. They were helping the police keep order. Nothing random about it :D

There is such thing as law of physic ACTION=-REACTION Now if you riot and disturb people or prevent people from earning their livelihood. Then you have the right of self defence and prevent people from rioting It is called self defence and enshrined in every law that I know of. If someone want to kill you then you have the right to kill that person! If you don't want to get beat up then don't riot in first place !

So the protesters were stopping the Triads from running their business? In that case the protesters were stopping illegal activities. I would have thought that would be a good thing.

The people on the metro weren't doing anything other than going home. They weren't a threat to anyone. Even if the Triad mobsters had assumed some of the people who had been protesting earlier had been there, that wasn't a reason to start indiscriminately attacking people minding their own business. The protests were over that day.

For someone who makes a big thing about the need to obey authority and the law, I don't understand why you think it's ok to break the law so long as you think one of your victims might be someone you've got a beef with.

No no, you have very poor reading comprehension. There are no protesters. The rioters and terrorists were stopping regular businesses and destroying their shops in Hong Kong. The Triads stepped up to stop them.

Just because the crime is over doesn't mean that catching criminals is off limits. The murder is over and you are no longer a threat; does that mean the cops don't look for you? LOL No. Wear riot gear in Hong Kong and everyone knows what you were doing. You don't get to pick when it's over; you only get to pick when it starts.

It's a common concept all over the world. As a private citizen, you are allowed to use force to stop a crime or deter a criminal. It's not someone you have "beef" with; these are actual criminals engaged in assault and vandalism. Every citizen has a right and prerogative to use violence to stop them.

Unfortunately, the west worshiping mentality is alive and gaining in mainland as well. Parents in mainland are willing to pay big money for foreigners to teach their children English even when many of them aren't not qualified or even native speakers. Many positions in educational and research institutes require applicants to have degrees from western universities.
