All Hong Kong needs is America on it's side. If Hong Kong did declare itself independent and the US recognised them and sent support their is nothing China could do aside from all out war, which China would also like to avoid. And America has already been on the side of HK against China historically already so that's not too far of a logical leap.[/quote]
I support this idea, I hope you're right.

Then they can be dragged into civilization by the scruff of their neck. This isn't about what the Chinese people want, it's about the evident threat China has presented to the civilized world ever since WW2 ended.

That sounds very Imperialistic of you. Yeah, lets just murder millions of Chinese people to bring them into "civilisation", when they're working completely fine currently.

I've never claimed to be anti-Imperialist, and I never will. If the Chinese Government would hold the Chinese people hostage, then they're the ones at fault.

Because they have a higher sense of honour and duty then you could ever have.


if they had such high sense of honour and duty, why would they not be loyal to the state? to their own government and police force?

why are they destroying the economy of their own city, burning buildings, and destroying train stations?

It's also kinda awkward when the OP and other posters are native hongkongers.
It would been fine and fair if it was just anti-imperialism but not the case here.

Burma has a lot to be criticised for, but atleast they have defended the PRC. It's almost like the PRC isn't actually doing anything wrong in the Uyghur areas.

Being a world market gives you a blank check for human abuses. Shocker.

Unless you're claiming the Uighur internment is fake news or that it's perfectly fine.

As a native, no. I don't want Burma to be defending the PRC for the wrong reasons.

But let's not go there, not because I don't want to talk about it (I am more than happy to rail on my nation's politics); this is about HK, not Burma.
