How is this a CCP talking point? If anything, the fact that Western HN commenters can't differentiate Hong Kong and the CCP actually paints the CCP as less violent than they actually are.

> the fact that Western HN commenters can't differentiate Hong Kong and the CCP This is not a fact. Do you have a citation? edit: it's also a pretty vague statement that could be satisfied by finding any two people who "can't differentiate" between HK and the CCP. You didn't say "the majority of Western HN commenters".

  The comment I replied to was equating my defense of the Hong Kong police as "a CCP talking point." How else am I supposed to interpret it?

    > The comment I replied to was equating my defense of the Hong Kong police as "a CCP talking point." How else am I supposed to interpret it? Not as equating HK with the CCP? You wrote "How is this a CCP talking point?". I don't know if touting "only 2 deaths by HK police" is or isn't a CCP talking point, but it ignores the question of how many HK residents were extradited[0] to the mainland, never to be heard from again. So omitting that discussion makes it a statement favorable to the CCP (or at least neutral). [0] if you even want to call the process "extradition" and not straight up "abduction"

      Also, the top comment who replied to me is using a single cherry picked clip of an officer speaking a couple Mandarin words as evidence that Hong Kong police are secretly CCP. > I don't know if touting "only 2 deaths by HK police" is or isn't a CCP talking point, but it ignores the question of how many HK residents were extradited[0] to the mainland, never to be heard from again. I explained why the film wasn't overly harsh to the Hong Kong police. This has nothing to do with the extradition bill.
