Hey chimp, can you prove HK had more democracy before China took it back?
I dared you before to prove that HK is now worse off than it was under British colonialism and called you a chimp if you refrained a response.
I guess you went back to that "repeat" mode, hoping that your past arguments would be forgotten.
Does not daily consumption of banana even help a little to recover some brain cells that you lost over the years?

Next TaiWan.
According to Hong Kong Basic Law, if they wanna changes after 50 years. That law was signed by BeiJing central government with British government, under British rule the H.K also no democracy too.
H.Kers can play democracy game right now, but ppl also need jobs for living. Oneday if they find local economy down and salary decrease, they will stop it.

Hong Kong Pro-China Protesters Take To the Streets Against 'Occupy Central' Movement

Thousands of marchers have taken to the streets of Hong Kong to support the city's pro-Beijing administration, as a debate about the future of democracy in the special administrative region of China rages.
BBC News reports that More than 120,000 people have signed up for the rally in support of the government, which began at 1:30pm local time (01:30am EDT), but organizers say the turnout could reach 200,000.
The rally is aimed at countering the "Occupy Central" movement, a pro-democracy group that proposes to stage a sit-in in the city's central business district, unless the government in Beijing allows candidates for the post of Chief Executive, the highest post in the Chinese Administrative Region's devolved government, in the 2017 election to run without having to be subject to a political screening process. Critics claim the screening process will eliminate any candidate who is not favored by the Beijing government.
Agence France-Presse, or AFP, reports that the Alliance for Peace and Democracy, who organized the protest, claim that the majority of Hong Kong's seven million residents do not support the Occupy movement. "We want to let the world know that we want peace, we want democracy, but please, do not threaten us, do not try to turn this place into a place of violence," said the alliance's co-founder, Robert Chow.
The city has seen tit-for-tat rallies and petitions in recent months. A non-official poll run by the Occupy movement on the future of the city's democracy attracted nearly 800,000 voters. Meanwhile, a petition against the Occupy Central movement was signed by CY Leung, the city's current Chief Executive, and several members of his cabinet.
The South China Morning Post reports that critics of the march have claimed that marchers had been coerced into attending, with some allegedly being offered time off of work or a free lunch. Reuters also reports that some participants, mostly elderly, told the news agency that they had been provided with free transport by various political and business groups.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the next significant stage in the city's political debate will come later this month when China's top legislative body, the National People's Congress, issues its position on democracy in Hong Kong, which is expected to allow everyone to vote, but only for approved candidates.
Bloomberg reports that Occupy Central has threatened to organize a 10,000 strong sit-in if political reforms fail to meet what it terms as “international standards.” The protests may take place in next month if China indicates that there is no room for negotiation on political reform.

Thousands rally in Hong Kong against pro-democracy Occupy Central movement

Tens of thousands of people have gathered in Hong Kong to protest against a civil disobedience campaign by pro-democracy activists.
Demonstrators braved the sweltering heat to take part in Sunday's rally, which was organised by pro-Beijing group the Alliance for Peace and Democracy.
Alliance organisers say they oppose the Occupy Central group that has threatened to shut down Hong Kong's financial district with a mass sit-in unless China grants acceptable electoral reforms.
"We want to show that the march doesn't have to be violent and angry. It can be happy," Robert Chow, spokesman for the alliance, said.
The group says it has so far collected close to 1.5 million signatures, including that of Hong Kong leader Leung Chun-ying, saying the "illegal" Occupy campaign would tarnish Hong Kong's reputation and hurt business.
It wasn't possible to independently verify the number, which exceeded the almost 800,000 votes in Occupy Central's unofficial poll on democracy in June.
The pro-Beijing rally kicked off early on Sunday with a run through the centre of the city that attracted about 1,500 in temperatures as high as 30 degrees Celsius, organisers said.
Pensioners join pro-government march
The all-day rally was overshadowed by speculation that some business groups had pressured people to take part.
Many rally participants, mostly elderly, told Reuters they had been provided with free transport by various political and business groups.
In one district, about 150 people boarded buses organised by the Hong Kong Livestock Industry Association.
One man interviewed by Reuters said he had boarded a bus from an outlying area of Hong Kong and was given a HK$30 subsidy for lunch.
"It is normal to have a little bit of a subsidy when you are at a march. Some (marches) give more, some less, but this time we only get a little money for food," Chan Chiu-fat, 55, said.
In a Whatsapp message seen by Reuters, people were offered HK$350 ($45) to attend the rally "for five hours". The message sender, however, declined to provide their name or background.
Alliance spokesman Mr Chow dismissed such messages as fake and attempts to discredit the pro-Beijing campaign.
Occupy group presses for 'genuine' democracy
Hong Kong was handed over from Britain to China in 1997 under an arrangement that guarantees the city's freedom and civil liberties.
China says residents can vote for Hong Kong's leader in 2017, but concerns are growing that the city's pro-Beijing administration will set out a proposal that vets candidates.
Hong Kong's chief executive is currently chosen by a pro-Beijing committee.
Pro-democracy groups have called on Beijing to allow open nominations rather than only letting "patriotic" pro-Beijing candidates to stand.
Pro-democracy lawmakers said they would press ahead with the campaign to gridlock Hong Kong, if Beijing fails to come up with a proposal that meets their demands.
Occupy Central has said its movement is peaceful, demanding a "genuine choice" for Hong Kong's five million eligible voters.

According to the World Most Respected News Agency, Reuters:
- Only ELDER people who support it!
But never YOUNG PEOPLE (who have been educated in Christian school setup by Holy Queen government, the Most Beautiful in the World).
- The protest is CORRUPT!
And paid by the Communist Political Parties and Greedy Businessmen. (Remember Reuter didn't say about NEXT MEDIA and MARK SIMON, who is not no longer worked for Pentagon anymore. I REPEAT (if you are not clear), WHO IS NO LONGER WORKED for PENTAGON ANYMORE (which he is a very very very clean and honest person in entire UNIVERSE, I repeat again, UNIVERSE!!!))
The conclusion:
Reuters is the world hero! (for reporting the honesty to us)
And Anti-Occupy Movement is a FRAUD and CORRUPT!!!
(Unlike the NEXT MEDIA's MARK SIMON pro-democracy Occupy Movement, which is their honesty moved me in TEARS~~~~!!!)
Not forget, that CHRISTIAN Churches in HK and TAIWAN, held a mass praying event to support Occupy Movement.

Even our HK Chief Executive (CY Leung) himself signed the petition AGAINST Occupy Central.
'There is no neutrality': CY Leung signs petition against Occupy Central | South China Morning Post
This is why I always vote for the pro-Beijing camp (which dominates the HK government at all levels). Because they are more sensible and rational, compared to those other clowns.

Always.
I am one of the most dedicated supporters of the pro-Beijing camp, I attend every march that I can.It's people like me and my family, the ones that vote for the pro-Beijing camp... that allows the pro-Beijing camp to dominate the HK government at all levels, from LegCo, the District councils, all the way up to the Chief Executive.
It's this domination of HK politics that forces the anti-China traitors into such desperate moves. And we will mark down their names, see how their tune changes once the One country two systems farce is over.
