> 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".
- Aunche 6y agoThe 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?
- philsnow 6y ago> 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"
- Aunche 6y agoAlso, 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.
