HK system was setup by CCP, why would CCP wants to undermine it ? At the moment , it is some HKers attempt to challenge the current system.
In fact, CCP has always been take it easy on HKers if you compare to the treatment mainlanders get, even in mainland HKers were given privileged status thanks to CCP.
Yet these ungrateful HKers take CCP's lenient policy as weakness, greedily ask more and more. It's time to stop spoil these brats and teach them some real-world lesson in the hard way.
This is why I said that you give someone an inch, they will take it 100 miles.
Demands never end.
What we are seeing is the failure of the Chinese intelligence services, failure of the Chinese government to be proactive and for allowing foreign NGO's and foreign journalists to operate inside mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.
People are blaming the protestors, but these anti-China liberals are always there, so its up to the CPC to keep them down. It's the lack of proper governance that is at fault here.
If the CPC actually had been proactive, they would have known foreign embassies, consulates, NGO's and journalists in China, HK, Macau are there to fund destabilising protest movements. So everyone working in those embassies, consulates, NGOs and media companies must be under 24/7 surveillance to track what they are doing and disrupt their activities.
Chinese government spends billions to keep social stability, but they failed here.
Even after this protest ends, the CPC won't do sh*t. They are more worried about what others will say than doing whats in the best interest of China.
I really hope this will be the trigger to bring the hammer down on foreign NGO's, USAID, foreign journalists, and other troublemakers.
If the CPC don't respond in ruthless fashion to this protest and nip it in the bud, others will take inspiration from this and try to attempt similar movements.
The ball is in the court of the CPC. Let's see what they truly made of.
