I think this is one of the reasons why our side is silent. We hope the Chinese side would remember this.

Here are some pictures showing the friends of that 17 year old effeminate little boy. They're crying like little b*tches because the grownups in Hong Kong got fed up with their anti-China shenanigans and laid the smack down.

This is no longer China's century of humiliation. And your average Chinese person hates hanjian race traitors with a passion. That skinny little sellout better enjoy his 15 minutes of fame now. Chinese people know how much damage traitors have done to China in the past. When the cameras are off, he'll have a big target on his back.

Why do they need to say residents and pro-government supporters all the time. The residents are obviously angry that these Gucci bag holding demonstrators are obstructing their daily life.

Honestly, I have never met a demonstrator in all my life in Europe going to a demonstration holding a Gucci bag. When I saw that pic, I really had to very hard.

It does not matter even if we know Japan doesn't utter a word in regards to the current unrest in HK. China's policy has always been very clear about foreign domestic issue. Japan has more to lose than to gain if it wishes to interfere with China's matters on the other hand China will not suffer even if the government would voice its support for an independent Okinawa (not that we are gonna interfere). So no, China doesn't owe Japan a thing

How protests suddenly erupted in Hongkong.

It's just the US. Britain has no influence in Hong Kong and is irrelevant globally. Nice attempt to ride the US' coattails though. 6/10 for effort.

I had talked to some Hongkongers who were claiming that they were better under British rule than as a part of PRC.

It's the economy. Under the British, HKers had less freedom than they do now. But China was also less developed and therefore Hong Kong mattered more to the Chinese economy. So no complaints about democracy or lack thereof. Convenient eh? I think someone posted a thread that showed how Hong Kong's economy, relatively speaking, went from being 18% of China's to less than 3% now. Not because the British did anything special - they've always treated non-whites as 2nd class citizens (As an Indian, you probably know about the British and their arrogance) - but because China is richer now.

Hong Kong's usefulness as a financial hub is being eclipsed by mainland Chinese cities, most notably Shanghai. Add to that the fact that most Hong Kongers don't speak mandarin, have a hard time competing, and suddenly see their "poor brothers" on the Mainland getting richer and you end up with a lot of frustration.

It's the western media's way of discrediting anything that doesn't jive with their propaganda. Anyone against "democracy" must be paid by commies. Of course that's clearly not the case and the irony of it all is that many of those democracy "protesters" *are actually* funded and led by American operatives. And we have pictorial evidence of that. But hypocrisy has never stopped white journalists from gloating in the past and it won't now.

Hey they treated plenty of whites as 2nd class citizens too...sort of had a revolution about it.

 

[AgentOrange]

Britain has no influence in Hong kong?? Tell you the truth, we do have, even more than the U.S when it comes to Hong Kong. Maybe Chinese Dragon can expantiate on this for you.

You really don't. And I mean not even a little.

And that is why the supa powa India 2030 will not emerge
