Surely not in the fashion that you adorably adorn upon your self which was hardly even humorous, off a boat or sinking with it

All American spelling and flawless syntax. Curious. So many claim exotic locations on this obscure little site. Some are genuine, I know. Others....I'm not so sure. In the relative bliss of apparent anonymity, some get carried away. Some even create an alternate identity. Yet behind the façade of cute name tags and plush toy avatars they could be anyone and anything. I sense a peculiar odor from the State of Demark, figuratively speaking.

I guess I'll just have to accept that as some sort of compliment...

Anyhow...  

Getting back on track...

The climactic event can't be far off now.

We might be headed for another Tiainanmen incident 

How can people who want independence possibly get it against a government that has no qualms with violence and an overwhelming military.

So did the colonies and they won. Not sure what point you're trying to make?

It is hard work overthrowing the existing order, pretty much anywhere, unless it disintegrates from within.

Other then saying that you could explain to me why I should support China in this extradition bill, or the situation on general.

 

Hong Kong was a den of mobsters and thieves. Rats! Even the corporate ones. China has no tolerance for corruptibles and criminals where Hong Kong gave them all. 

@third_eye   You certainly understand a lot of Chinese.....How should I put it?.......emotional, linguistic and cultural "nuances-concepts" for being a faker.  

I would hesitate to guess there is little understanding of the multi-cultural, multi-religious education of a Shorin by a Gaijin.

One doesn't need to be culturally sensitive to an online anus.  Good manners tend to flow from dealing with others who show them as well.  It's kind of a basic, cross-cultural effort between people of goodwill

You misunderstood. TE was being accused of being not Chinese.

Commonly and in general... Bu San bu shi ... Not three and not four either. 

Or the more direct "ren shi ni, gui ye shi ni" saying in no uncertain terms that you are both man / woman and the devil , not always denigrating, it can mean just a friendly ribbing, depending on the context. 

When the HK protestors started waving the US and UK flags while pleading mainland China for support, you know they had lost the plot, never mind the organized disruption and destruction of property throughout the protests this time around.

Public opinion has turned against them, what's happening at the borders is China not letting further foreign interference increase as well as not letting things get out of hand .

Not neccessarily. Umm.. I mean.... umm... it COULD just be the famous ShenZhen Festival of Military Lorries ?

China stand to lose a lot if sanctions get place on them for a brutal crackdown.

Therefore I think the only way forward is for them to give the people of Hong Kong what they want. And the longer this goes on the more my gut says they will demand independence. 

China could stop things getting that far by acting now.

Do you notice the similarity in narratives coming out of Beijing and the RNC concerning protesters?

Quote

 

BEIJING — When a projectile struck a Hong Kong woman in the eye this week as protesters clashed with the police, China responded quickly: Its state television network reported that the woman had been injured not by one of the police’s bean bag rounds, but by a protester.

The network’s website went further: It posted what it said was a photo of the woman counting out cash on a Hong Kong sidewalk — insinuating, as Chinese reports have claimed before, that the protesters are merely paid provocateurs.

 

It goes on to later add:

Quote

Chinese officials have begun branding the demonstrations as a prelude to terrorism.

This strategy is effective too.  Chinese on the mainland are on weebo, they're version of twitter calling for the traitorous protests to be put down.  Sentiments that simply beating them is not enough are prevalent.  This will not have a good result for individual freedoms in Hong Kong I fear.  When the protesters are massacred it will be to the roar of the mainland crowd, or at least the communist propaganda makes it seem that way.

I don't think it will benefit the Chinese government if they crush these people in Hong Kong.  I hope Tiananmen taught them something.

If you think about it Tianamen was a victory for them in the long run.  Sure the world condemned them at first and later made them the manufacturing center of the world, the long term results are that the citizens on the mainland are afraid to admit that they remember it happened and they all smile and pretend that there is nothing better in the world than their leaders.  At some point they will decide that in the long term bringing HK in line sooner will be for the overall health of the nation and that to make an omelette you must break a few eggs.  It's why this propaganda is being applied.

HK's benefit to the mainland has always been economic in nature.  Being sanctioned because of their brutality will hurt them.  Ultimately, they will behave as Communist regimes do but I hope it hurts them badly.

I suppose that will depend on if we care about people more than we do affordable luxury items.

Is anyone surprised by Chinas propaganda war ? It is the same thing socialists and the media in America do non stop control the air waves and spread their agenda as long as they can as far as they can. It is the only tool they have at their immediate disposal to put an end to freedom in any form. But Communism and Socialism work so great, Hence why China is the epicenter of the utopia that could be our future here in America if we don't stay vigilante and or buy into the propaganda from the left.

Ummm, okay.  I know where you're coming from but really don't see where our media is trying to turn us into communist's.  You're exaggerating.

Regardless this is not even close to the same situation.  The Chinese media are spreading this narrative to justify a future crackdown on the Hong Kong protests that will have the full support and sympathy of the mainland proletariat.
