Right. AFAIK, even in China you're not required to do such except perhaps being a Uyghur in Xinjiang... However, the PRC government is believed to have full access to popular apps like WeChat, among other surveillance tools. If I were

The police force is arguably dealing with the protesters as if they are the triads. Which is deeply ironic in that the police force were the ones who are strongly suspected in collusion with the triads: https://m.youtube.com&#x2F

LIHKG's resilience in the current crisis is truly remarkable. That being said, it's not politically-oriented at all beforehand... it's something like the Reddit or 4chan of HK whereas most people just "shit-post" mo

A certain level of autonomy, yes. Independence, no.

Thanks, sometimes it doesn't hurt to have some more perspective.

What do you expect then? A news report within the PRC that "Winnie the Pooh" was banned? Reports from Hong Kong and Taiwan is the closest thing you can get.

Dimsum Daily is not exactly a good source for reliable news... There is indeed quite a lot of violence from both sides, but no, no police officer has been set on fire.

The edgy protesters are specifically targetting the government, the police who is acting on behalf of the government, and sometimes things associated with the CCP/PRC (e.g. PRC flag). Some of their actions have caused trouble for other

One also needs to consider that the HK people are traditionally apolitical. So the 2m figure really sent a huge shockwave across the board. And only then, the government started to realise that they have screwed up badly.

Is that why most of the relatives of the top brass in CCP, and wealthy Chinese business people are holding passports of foreign countries?

Many foreigners are perplexed about why people are still obsessed with the wording of the bill's situation. Well, Carrie Lam the current chief executive of HKG, has a notorious nickname - Habitual liar. She's been caught breaking

At the same time, PRC government doesn't want to turn HK instead exactly another Chinese city... (the closest one would be Shanghai, I guess.) There are interesting historical issues, economical issues, geopolitics (especially Taiwan)

The Cultural Revolution is IMO something entirely different. To me it's a movement started by a dictator with the aim to consolidate power and purge the system of dissident voices. I'd love to hear other perspectives.

AFAIK, those 538 people follow the decisions made earlier by the majority people. Those 1200 definitely aren't. Yes, the US system may not be perfect, but to put both on the same balance is such a misleading comparison.

Just curious, where did you get these ideas?

Such things change by the day, you have to understand that. The PRC government does not publish a exhaustive list of what's being banned at the moment. It wouldn't surprise me either, that the decision was made not by Xi, but by s

How you can make people from one part of the world care for people from another part of the world? If anythin, most HKers aren't very interested in what's happening around the world either, AFAIK.
