I'm neither educated nor motivated enough to argue with most of this. But preventing China from punishing HK people according to China's laws is the _entire point_ of the protests, is it not?
- markus_zhang 7y agoIt might be legitimate for a western people e.g. you may be used to get different laws in different levels of government, but it's utterly unthinkable for the Chinese. The fact that HK even keeps foreign judges and officials pretty much surprised a lot of Chinese.
- nailer 7y agoYou know Taiwan and Korea are successful democracies right? Why do you think people choosing their leaders is a western attribute? The PRC itself is even ostensibly run by the people (it obviously isn't).
- brigandish 7y agoIf Hong Kongers really are Chinese then, on the contrary, it's thinkable.
- NoodleIncident 7y agoI didn't ask for your opinion about the protests, because you've already made it quite obvious. It is complete bullshit to use them as an example to say that the freedom of speech of the average Chinese citizen isn't restricted.
