Yeah this photo us from last year, and I think it's Hong Kong and Ukraine. But I can't remember the two on the right of the traitor Joshua.

Just your weekly reminder that the HK police never use excessive violence and can be identified at all times via clearly displayed serial numbers.
I know, right? Only the CCP can protect Hong Kong people from making terrible choices at the ballot box. Imagine if someone could stand for the Chief Executive position without the CCP's blessing and get elected in a free and fair election - they might give HK people what they want!
Vote CCP for another half century of authoritarian one-party rule.
So how many protestors are killed in HK and how many incidences of violence occurred with the damages caused by the rioters (with the only few casualties being an elder man killed by a rioters brick), I expected far more violence from the police as it is completely called for and yet they didn’t so they must have some serious self control on their part

Given that the current riots in the us has lead to far more destruction and death then HK ever did and heck they only had maybe 3months of it compared to HK, really too much democracy and freedom actually gave these rioters more room to cause destruction and damage rather then the opposite. Hence maybe a slightly more ‘ authoritarian’ might end up preventing the situation from escalating to this point. Maybe a more Chinese style approach to the pandemic and a Chinese approach to the minorities might have prevented the kind of shit you are seeing now in the USA. Of course being a major dictatorship is never good but a leader with a bit more authority and actually government skills may be required in a situation where the current leader (Trump) is pushing his supporters to commit violence and voter fraud. So yeah if China is able to bring stability back to HK now while the USA is fanning flames of chaos as we speak, really maybe you should stop with the double standard crap cause anyone with a brain can see that China is able to do what the USA could not, restore order
Who is Do
They should confiscate Joshua Wong's passport for the reason that he may leave HK and meet with his foreign cohorts. That would be a national security threat.

yeah ccp can probably manage hk better than hk people can but thats not the point... all i hope for is that one day some in hk will begin to appreciate the nation that feeds it (food, water, and fuel) and wipes its ass on the daily (waste disposal) all free of taxes and start to wonder if thay can give something back (if they can think of doing anything more productive than FIRE).

you'd think that if hk wanted to be treated better it would try to improve itself and make itself more valuable, by showing china how it can contribute through being a better bridge with western nations, improving chinas diplomatic image, helping china with internationalizing the yuan. Instead hk seems to want to focus on how its legal system, accounting system, medical system are apparently better than chinas not seeming to realize that foreign lawyers practicing common law are useless to china...
hk is declining not because of anyones management but rather that its historic monopoly status is vanishing and it is simply not going to be the financial center for china... china is willing to let it be the financial center for guangdong but hk isnt satisfied (眼高手低，不知道自己吃几碗饭). instead of trying to improve its negotiating position it instead commits self mutilation as if thats going to hurt china (???).

HK imagines as though it can be a world financial center without a nations real productivity backing it as though NYC can exist without the US or London can exist without Europe (brexit lol)

I'm not sure if you're aware of the situation, but HK residents have to pay for their food, water, refuse collection, etc. The cost of living in HK generally is higher than in mainland China, even just over the "border" in Shenzhen.
That said, I think you probably have more in common with regular HK people than you realise. Most of them don't like the current system because the low tax policies benefit rich people whereas people on low and middle incomes get shafted because of limited government spending and expensive property prices. If taxes went up in part to pay back the inconvenience to mainland Chinese provinces that deal with Hong Kong's waste but also to improve social housing, etc in HK, I think you'd find the only people squealing about it would be the HK rich and their representatives in the legislative functional constituencies, provided those taxes were targeted on the wealthy and not general income tax rises that the rich can dodge.
