Hong-Kong Protests

Congratulations Hong Kong!
This is a great moment for Hong Kong and a great day for China. One Country, Two Systems has finally been completed as Deng Xiaoping intended.
(After all, Comrade Deng was the one who ensured that Article 23 was in Hong Kong's Basic Law, as he long ago foresaw the danger of separatism in Hong Kong.)
Let's Hong Kong and China move forward, continue in prosperity, and - in the words of Comrade Deng - "Unite As One 团结一致."

Aww, look at this poor Hongkie who got the door slammed in his face by their masters in the British Isles!
Americans said: no taxation without representation.
BNO Hkers said: we want that and a side of chips please.
UK government said: I’m hungry. Want to eat a cookie.
I kinda noticed these days that everytime the UK talks, a lot of people just mock them as has-been small guys acting like they are much bigger than they are.
Its not that the UK has suddenly become arrogant as they have been always like this. The difference is they no longer have the power to backup their confidence so they appear more arrogant when they have always been the same. They just refuse to accept they are has-beens.
This is why at the very core of it, hard power and force in various forms is what truly counts. Without it, all your words become no different than a chihuahua who can bark loud but can't bite hard.
Agreed. I stayed out of all the ridiculous arguments about hard power vs soft power, but at the end of the day, one is the cake and the other is just icing.
Shouldn't china give some monetary support to accelerate northern metropolis projects?

Remove all symbols of the British from Hong Kong. Does it violate any human rights? No, but it’ll hurt everyone that counts.
The tweet message in English is intentionally mistranslating the Chinese news report in the picture. It implies somehow that this person's sentence was arbitrarily prolonged when in fact the Chinese news report simply says this person failed to get an early release and that early release (reduction in sentence) for national security law violators are only allowed if the prison director believes it will not harm national security (i.e. committing the same crime again), which is all pretty standard for early release/sentence reduction for any prison sentence.
