The truly sad/crazy part is that most people today still don't expect China to break promises quite so quickly and blatantly. Oh well.

- onethought 2y agoSorry, I should have clarified my question further. They already broke their promises on Hong Kong. So I was asking what the other promises people think they won’t break? Like are we talking Taiwan? Or something in mainland China? Hence: which promises and which people? With regard to HK - agree they broke their promises, but it’s not like it wasn’t highly predictable a leader like Xi would do this, the shocking part was the speed, not the action. Apologies for upsetting people by being too vague.
- nicolas_t 2y agoI don't know, most people in Hong Kong, don't expect China to hold any promises nowadays... Outside of people who live in mainland China, I don't think nowadays many people trust China with promises.
