So why did you feel the need to post off topic stuff here?

We are well aware of bias currently but the western media is too strong and fixated on China. There is nothing a few dozen English speaking Chinese can do.
Talking about Kashmir is pointless on SDF because we all know the situation is likely very bad. When we bring it up to Western audience they flat out ignore. They know their hypocrisy but it is intentional because China might overtake them.
How bad things are we don’t know because of media blackout and we don’t speak Urdu and can’t read the social media . However, many of us frequent PDF to get update of things.

My apologies. I somehow inadvertently missed your earlier post that had the full text of Article 8. My bad.
My replying point is being resident does not in itself automatically has inherent knowledge advantage as legal issues are ultimately decided by the courts.
This is where we disagree on points of law. As the judicial review takes its course and ultimately decide, we will know its legal outcome.
Whilst you may be right that the NPCSC can ultimately upend any judicial decision, it will come at a political price. One of the complain from HK protestors is Beijing’s interference into the HK system. Such a move through the NPCSC will just reaffirm such a perception.
The HK protests is already generating unintended consequences and publicity like the NBA, Blizzard and Apple fallout and clearly showcasing how China is able to coerce actions of even US companies. This raises the credibility of the argument that Huawei somehow is independent and can act independently from China’s direction.

I am moving this conversation to the Chinese culture thread as it would be more appropriate.
Your focus and expectations are absurdly misplaced, of course nobody is talking about Kashmir in a thread about Hong Kong in an English language military forum about China.
Especially when most posters in this forum are not from Kashmir nor nearby, therefore are not particularly familiar with what is happening there, do not have the local language skills nor local insight to offer nor any special ability to evaluate any relevant insights offered.
Feel free to advocate in the relevant threads, interrupting other threads is not going to help.
The unintended consequence is that the HK protest has united a new generation of mainland youngsters who have awakened to the double standards and hypocrite behavior of the west. Even some of my more liberal relatives in HK have been shocked to discover how these media distorted facts. As for Huawei, nothing can stop fear mongering and scare tactics so who cares.
I've been unavailable over the last 36 hours because I've been catching some flights.
Clearly there's been a bit of deviation from the thread topic and some heightened emotions on the matter. Off topic posts about Kashmir are also very much not appropriate for this thread.
The nature of this thread's actual topic means that it is very easy to become more intensely political and lead to heightened emotions and what one side considers to be a reasonable argument may be considered to be personal, egregious and offensive to the other.
The active moderators are currently under some discussion as to what the future of this thread will be, and what the boundaries for discussion could be.

You can try opening a thread on this topic but it'll be immediately deleted as per forum rules as this is a Chinese focussed English Language forum.
