Parent comment discussed "democracy activists in Hong Kong being rounded up" -- Bagacrap was of course misleadingly labeling those activists as "secessionists", unless you think Bagacrap was referring to the Taiwanese people even though Taiwan is an independent country and has no need for secession beyond a legal formality. On whether these activists are secessionists: their demands focus on advancing democratic elections in Hong Kong while continuing under the "one country two systems" framework, the claim that they are asking for secession is incorrect given that the vast majority of the activists do not want Hong Kong to secede from China. Edit: see https://www.scmp.com/yp/discover/news/hong-kong/article/3065950/hong-kong-protests-what-are-five-demands-what-do https://www.scmp.com/yp/discover/news/hong-kong/article/3065... which is from a newspaper in China (so even if it is biased, it would be biased towards pro-CCP views). As you can see, these activists want self-determination for Hong Kong, but do not want Hong Kong to leave or secede from China.
