- mywittyname 6y agoIt won't change the minds of the millions of people in political power in China. Lots of Chinese feel quite strongly that the Taiwan/Tibet/Hong Kong claims are legitimate and that the international community is attacking China. I guess it would be like if the US was forced to cede Texas back to Mexico because they lost a war. Most Americans, regardless of political party, would hold the opinion that Texas is still American territory, regardless of international opinions on the subject.
- thoughtstheseus 6y agoHow can anyone hold a political position in China and not hold those viewpoints? It’s illegal, in practice, to speak or take actions otherwise.

- moron4hire 6y agoWell, that's a bit complicated by the fact that a lot of Texans don't think Texas should be an American territory.
- Symbiote 6y agoMaybe it's even more like if millions of Scottish people wanted independence. Except they had a referendum, which is unimaginable in Hong Kong.
- yumraj 6y agoWell we have to believe that a democratic open government would be more reasonable in its internal and external policies, unless we’re saying that when it comes to China all hope is lost.
- mmm_grayons 6y agoNot necessarily. The question that must be asked is, "Why did China institute such a system of authoritarian rule in the first place, and why does she allow it to persist?" The Chinese have yet to develop the same sort of republican values we have in America, so removing the current government alone won't do much good. This is the same problem as with the Middle East, Africa, etc.
