Hmmm considering that he was supposed to support the Palestinians yet has done far less then what other neighbors have done in their defense, that could in fact have played a bit of a role. On the current trajectory, any leader in the Arab world that leans too much to the western angle of things can expect this kind of reaction from the Arab populace, I mean China and Russia have done more at the UN then Erdogan in the last six months to try and help the Palestinians so for someone who styles himself as the sultan of the Muslim world, he certainly comes off as impotent as a Eunuch in comparison to others which is embarrassing

The series Regime is actually quite interesting because of how clumsily obvious of an attempt it is at thought inoculation to try to stop countries from ditching the US and embracing China.
It’s a pretty old formula where the ‘bad’ thought is embodied by a ridiculous villain so anyone who holds a similar view is easily mocked and dismissed as a lunatic. It’s just that Hollywood used to be more subtle about it where the viewer forms the ‘correct’ view organically rather than have it shoved down their throats as Regime does. The US regime must be anxious about possible imminent ‘flipping’ of certain European countries to have to try any hammer home the point so bluntly.
As a native Chinese speaker, I can confirm that the translation provided by this tweet is 100% accurate.

I agree. I am not against liberal democracy per se. However, a liberal democracy in Hong Kong in the presence of a hostile foreign country like the USA with enormous financial resources and malicious intent would not be in the best interests of the people. It would be in the best interests of the US. Financial independence must precede political reform.

Like I’ve said before… every dictator in history doesn’t believe in their own freedom? That’s the same kind of freedom Americans believe in because they only believe in their own freedom and not for everyone else. You just have to look at Hong Kong itself. Did the British ever give the kind of freedom to Hong Kong they expect China to give to Hong Kong? They never did! So what’s to prevent them from say having someone give up their lives by encouraging someone else to sacrifice their freedoms for their goals? They’re doing that right now all around the world. If they cared that much about other people, they would care about that but they don’t. That’s called having someone else do your dirty work because you don’t want to make any sacrifices yourself.

Further adding this because it was discussed a long time ago, back when there was actual rioting.
The whole idea that the security law "violates" the Sino-British joint declaration or HK Basic Law is a horse manure falsehood promulgated by western news.
Putting aside the absurdity of being subject to foreign governments, the Basic Law of HK was well established before the handover. Article 23 is nothing new, and was ALWAYS a part of the Basic Law. Thus the UK was well aware of its existence the entire time and in effect, signed off on it. These are the facts. If anything, failure to implement Article 23 would be the true violation of the Basic Law (and thus violating the principles of 1C2S).
Anyone can look this up themselves.
The implementation of Article 23 was blocked by so-called "pro-democracy" legislators for 20 years (first tried to pass in 2003). Yet, if they really followed democratic principles, then there should have been some kind of compromise which would be in the benefit of HKers.
This is without even getting into the obvious foreign interference angle that is so blatantly obvious. It's so silly to see these western countries (UK, Canada, US, etc.) cry about "foreign interference" when they've toppled democratic governments to serve their own interests.
