Are putting their lives on the line for Liberty. Americans like the HondoBros argue here daily for more government control and oppression. Hong Kong gets it.

    They are fighting the extradition of their citizens to China. It’s right that they do so, but there’s no need for you to go drama queen on us.

    Christ. So simplistic.

    Turn on the BBC. There are nightly segments on the shit going down in HK.

    It’s damned near a war zone right now. Over a number of human rights issues and violations of the agreements related to the transition to Chinese rule. They want to go back to being a British colony ASAP.

    The human rights issues have largely to do with the police treatment of protesters protesting the extradition bill. There are some seeking democratic reforms, but this is and mostly has been about extradition.

    Let it be known that HH and the rest of the libs on here love the idea of rights being taken away.

    Looking good HH. REAL GOOD!

    Only the last one is even arguably distinct from the original extradition issue. And even that stems from the distrust over the extradition bill.

    Hong Kong might be the powder keg that topples the commi-fascist government in Beijing. If they crack down militarily, they will be put in a vice and squeezed by the international community. If they do nothing, they look weak and vulnerable. It's a lose lose situation for Beijing.

    I doubt it does much to the mainland in terms of protests. What they can do on the mainland is much more totalitarian than what they can do with HK. They literally harvest the organs of anyone who dissents too much.

    What could happen, is that HK stops being the golden goose for the CCP's access to the rest of the world's finances. It will compound the problems they have right now and force them to insulate the mainland even more so than now both financially and socially. Where that goes? *shrug I think we see more of a slow burn down and lost decades of living under totalitarianism more so than a dramatic Chinese spring. That is, unless something dramatic happens like the bottom falling out of the real estate market or another major tipping point event that exposes the underlying fragility of the system the CCP has erected.

    Not going to happen.

    This hurts China but it's going to take more than so than Hong Kong to do it. The rest of the country doesn't have a clue what's really happening in HK.

    Chinese oppression isn't going anywhere.

    Most of China doesn’t even know about Tank Man. It’s either been totally censored. The folks old enough to remember have repressed it, gone silent to survive, or developed Stockholm syndrome and have begun defending their oppressors.

    And to the extent that they do know, they aren't very happy or supportive of the people doing the protesting in Hong Kong.

    No, that would simply justify the CCP invading HK.

    Way better to threaten to remove favored trading partner status and make HK treated the same as mainland China financially. That would fuck all the party members keeping their assets "overseas" through HK among many other things.

    China is 5 years younger than the Soviet Union when it collapsed.

    Information is repressed in China (thanks google!) but people have ways

    The Hong Kong virus is in play

    Keep the pressure on them
