Mature democracies like the US and UK have what is called soft power, by demonstrate how effective their democracies are at home they can influence the people in Hong Kong without directly conducting disinformation
- NotSammyHagar 7y agoGreat point. In a possibly strange sense, the fact that the us and the uk just carry on having basically very safe and functional democracies even with the complete lockdown in the uk from brexit, and perhaps slightly lesser lockdown in the us (polarization of dems vs republicans) is impressive. but it's really depressing to be living through it.
