So yes, people of Hong Kong are asking true universal suffrage just as you say, but I understand the sentiment to dismiss the claim because... how do you get there?
It is literally a path that is blocked/unseeable with out some form of miracle.
I'm legitimately asking - protest all you want, bring the city to a halt. What incentive does China have to allow it to remain a full democracy?
- altcognito 7y agoIt works well. Arrogance assumes that you must impose your will upon others.
- bostik 7y ago> In 1997, China regained sovereignty over Hong Kong. It remains a SAR until 2047. Why do you think China has any intention of keeping their end of that contract? (And I'm not being snarky either.) Contracts in general are done between parties of approximately equal power, or in lieue of that, in an environment where a third party has sufficient power over all signatories. The only sane position is to take the most cynical one: assume that anyone and everyone will attempt to break the rules of the contract at every opportunity, if it benefits them. Everyone is immoral. And the only ones who play fair are those who don't know how to cheat well enough.
