Hong Kong

[Zurkerx]

This is a watershed moment for Hong Kong. If China wins, Hong Kong will forever be under their thumb.

This, pretty much.

And it seems they will as, by my knowledge, no cares about HK.

I do, does that count?

Depends. Do you have a navy or a trillion-dollar economy to pit against PRC?

What else am I supposed to use a dinghy with a shotgun for?

Conquering Mollosia. Or Liberland, if you want to use the dinghy.

1. Ferry food to the poor.
2. Fish for food to give to the poor.
3. Protect Europe from the encroaching migrant hordes at gunpoint.
4. Hunt birds to feed the poor with.
5. Not hate on those foreigners that have done you no wrong.

etc. etc. etc.

Britain actually had permanent ownership over parts of HK. The government just decided it would be too hard to split the city between the leased and owned parts so returnees the whole thing in an agreement China is now infringing upon.

That is not how I remember it. The reason they gave it back at the same time is as you said it would have been impossible to split and administer (also the water supply was in the new territories as i remember) but it all had to go back.

China only agreed to respect the different government of the SAR for 25 years, and I think that time is up.

Edit: I see the ceeded timeline, shows what I know.

And the. SAR is for 50 years not 25, so it expires in 2047.

Jayus Ethel, get something right.

Here's hoping our Hong Kong bros embrace the power of the internet and learn to make themselves some weaponry.

... I don't have "a strong need, desire, or craving" to shoot people dead or oppress them alive, Xi does. Do not confuse me with that motherfucker.

I don't think he does, either. But he's perfectly willing to do it, to expand his power; that doesn't mean Xi is joneseing for it.

Not sure which. I mean, they all boil down to: "Help those who have done you no wrong and are in need and don't hate those that have done you no wrong."

Some local forums have been passing recipe for things like Molotov's cocktail, but none remains to be seen in use so far. For the most part, I don't think they're armed with anything more powerful than bricks, mobile phones, or bricked mobile phones.

The UK couldn't adequately defend or sustain Hong Kong without the New Territories. This combined with ongoing American/UN pressure over 'decolonisation' and China's sheer size and location meant the handover was a foregone conclusion; perhaps a decade of civil rights was all that could be expected when dealing with the PRC.

It's extremely tragic what is going on in HK ): I applaud the resolution and determination of HK's people in their fight against autocracy. Here's hoping they succeed...

I would like to see Western governments (especially the UK which has special obligations to HK) do more to stand up to China over such human rights abuses. As of right now, China is not independently capable of facing off combined Western economic pressure, but the West's ravaging psychotic addiction to free markets is allowing them free reign to extend their state's power and soon they may well be able to withstand that pressure. At that point HK will be sacrificed. If anything can be done it has to be done now.

Let's hope it doesn't end like Tiananmen.

It most probably won't. I doubt even the HK equivalent of SWAT would need to be deployed to disperse the protesters. Hell, it seems to be almost done and the police didn't even get the water cannons online.

They already shot one guy with water cannons.

You sure it's not the one who took a rubber bullet in the face instead?

What if Hong Kong just joined up with Taiwan?

With any luck they'll move up to things past that level. Rudimentary firearms are buildable in near any conditions and ammo, while sketchy, can also be scratch built. Force is the only thing the CCP understands, they're going to keep coming back and taking more and more from Hong Kong if people roll over after a day or two of protests.

They won't have the power of the PLA, though.

Surely it would be easier to use Hong Kong's vast black markets to just purchase quality weapons and ammo.
