What do you think Chinese are doing by building CPEC through POK?We areare rejoicing it now but the same CIA/MI6 cna do this in our country in future
Rejoice my friend and rejoice guilt freeNot rejoicing at all...... Actually it's cringy seeing asains sucking up to white people.
At its core its merely a pro democracy movement that's all that is. Now who supports it and who doesn't is a different game but I seriously doubt that west is behind starting this agitation, they might be fuling it, but so are we and millions of other free countries around the world. I wouldn't certainly wanna live with a regime, I cannot sue, if they decide to unilaterally takeover my property and cut me off of the world and restrict my freedom of thought and faith.Not rejoicing at all......

There is a tendency among some Indians to reflexively oppose any action taken by West. This is counter productive. We should work with anyone as long as it is in the interest of Indian people.At its core its merely a pro democracy movement that's all that is.

The clear and simple way to sort this mess out is to liberalise China's one party system and make it a two party system and then a republic make it work for atleast 2 years competently while giving all the rights and freedom to the citizens and open the economy, country to the world. Drop CPCs Monopoly on China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan all will join.Hong Kong is a lost cause IMO.
30 years of nearly full autonomy. Up to now mainland Chinese travelling to HK would be requested of a pass + visa alike whereas most foreigners can enter visa free. HK residents are ok to hold different citizenships while for Mainlanders dual citizenship is not acceptable de jure.
Many protestors are flying flags of UK and US Etc. reminiscent of past colonial glory. Ironically during UK era there was zilch democracy at all - HK governor was dispatched from London and the legislature was entirely appointed. Obviously the autonomy has reinforced their self identification as a separate entity from China.
Its economy is totally "free" capitalism under control of a few families (mostly of real estate developers) . The govt is generally passive in minimally regulating or interfering in economy. The other side of the coin is monopoly, lack of innovation, and ultra poverty (ridiculous living conditions) owing to skyrocketing property price.
Thriving on entreport biz as a trading and financial hub, HK people used to have a condescending attitude towards mainland peers. But now this superiority complex has been greatly challenged by the rising mainland. It is very visibly stagnant in stark contrast to neighboring SHENZHEN.
U think that's a pro democracy movement? Hmmm too simple sometimes naive!
Why do we have such a hard on for democracy it is so overrated it makes my blood boil .The clear and simple way to sort this mess out is to liberalise China's one party system and make it a two party system and then a republic make it work for atleast 2 years competently while giving all the rights and freedom to the citizens and open the economy, country to the world.

Nah that's what I call naivety plus ignorance.The clear and simple way to sort this mess out is to liberalise China's one party system and make it a two party system and then a republic make it work for atleast 2 years competently while giving all the rights and freedom to the citizens and open the economy, country to the world.

Just playing devil’s advocate, anyone can answer..
Hong Kong Police using subdued protester as gun mount. This is humanitarian crisis. https://t.co/SPweYov4M2
Well we aren't doing anything are we?Just playing devil’s advocate, anyone can answer..
Why should we as Indian citizens/DFI be bothered about what Chinese do to HK protestors? What do we gain by it?
It’s not like HK administration or citizens are going to reciprocate with concern or support us when something happens in India..
Oh they triedI was wondering how the diligent 50 cent team didn't come online to defend their employer. Sure enough, someone showed up.
The fact that China was not able to make this protest vanish after so many weeks, despite their face recognition cameras, total control over internet traffic and complete monopoly over news outlets shows that there is a chink in the armor.
"The Hong Kong protests are "not a big deal" just like the Tianamen square protests weren't a big deal" - 50 cent team, basically.
Well..well..well...there's always some hope left..
