China Hong Kong SAR: News and Images

just heard some student calling CY to resign due to use of tear gas and among other reasons, not too bright that kid

 

[Lure]

Economy is one of the most important issues that people care for. HK has robust infrastructure, and a GDP per capita that is not even imaginable for many Asian nations. Therefore one can think that status quo is very favorable.

If a group wants to break a favorable status quo, they are simply marginalized. That's why pro-democracy camp may actually get a huge backfire from those protests.

However Beijing should immediately try to reduce the tension, since high tension causes groups to stick with their camps much devotedly. Hence, even if they fail the public support, they will become more and more aggressive and create more trouble in the future. You want such things to "disappear" not stubbornly go on even when they are defeated.

Is that amount supposed to disrupt the HK government? Is US getting poor or what?
It's like throwing a bone to a bunch of hungry dogs, the Vietcongs fit this category better IMO

That's just the official or public numbers for ONE organization from the US operating in Hong Kong. We do not know the net total cost of public operations and secret operations by MULTIPLE organizations from the US operating in Hong Kong.

Anyhow, the US media, US corporations, and US government are trying to get rid of these pro-Palestine protesters in the US:

Well, let them be. I do not think they may make much of a difference by those naive students. I'm sure most of them even don't know what the interest of Hong Kong is. They are so easy to be instigated to fight for "democracy" which may finally do harm to themselves. Any political revolution should be carried carefully and gradually.

 

[TheMatador]

Put the traitors in prison and kidnap USA intelligence agents in HK.

 

[帅的一匹]

The Central goverment shall apply iron hands to those traitors immediately .

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

Hmm...either everybody is vastly underestimating the power of the US Government or vastly overestimating its power.

One one hand people say it is completely inept and can't figure out how to show people how to cross the street on their own.

On the other hand people claim it is so powerful it can in short order and with a snap of the finger brainwash thousands of people to join ISIS or thousands of HK citizens to protest China.

No surprise there, as I said, it's geo politics baby.

You know it's always much easier to create problems rather than to solve them.

Occupy Wall Street now!

Hey NiceGuy, do you have a hard on for Joshua Wong? You post his pics on every thread?

He hopes Joshua Wong wants a mail order Viet groom

 

[Jlaw]

How do they aid Protestants in VN? I think they just want to help VN to be developed like SK and US. I too want aid from them.



My friend, it seems like you do not understand the meaning and essence of life. Why are you saving that 50k in your bank? Life is all about spending that money to drive the economy, to buy products to flaunt your wealth and status, then buy the updated products in every 6months cycle, if you don't have enough money, use your credit card or take out a loan. Oh, don't forget to get some plastic surgery to make your face match your status and wealth. Obey your president when he encourage consumers to spend their money, don't be like your grand parents and hide your money under your bed, thats why their generation was starving. Use every cents of your saving, the economy needs it. When you become a billionaires, you then don't need to be encouraged to spend all your money, you'll have the right to save them, preferably in a Swiss account or invest in assets in Monaco. But if you are middle and lower class, it is your responsibility to spend all your money to drive the economy.

I hope I have thought you a bit more about the meaning about life.

I used it to put down for an investment property and it up $90k in one year. Will rent it out and sell it later lol. Unlike most people i don't want to work until 70...i want freedom from corporate slavery.
I do enjoy life as i travel every year.

LONDON: China's Communist Party has warned of "unimaginable consequences" if demonstrations by pro-democracy campaigners in Hong Kong continue.

The threat, made in the party-run People's Daily, came as China's government appeared to be losing patience with the protesters, who have threatened to occupy government buildings unless the city's chief executive, Leung Chun-Ying, resigns by the end of today (Thursday).

An editorial read on state TV called for people to support the government's efforts to "deploy police enforcement decisively" and "restore the social order in Hong Kong as soon as possible".

Amid the heightened tensions, Lord Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong, accused Beijing of breaching its commitments to Hongkongers, made before the territory was returned to China in 1997.

Lord Patten said Beijing was undermining the so-called "one country, two systems" agreement, which affords the people of Hong Kong a degree of autonomy and freedoms not enjoyed by those in mainland China. "[The Chinese] said these matters were within the autonomy of the Hong Kong government and they are now reneging on that," he said, adding that there must now be "a new period of genuine consultation" over democratic reform.

Officials in Hong Kong tried to celebrate the 65th birthday of the People's Republic of China. The first day of October, or National Day, marks the Communist Party's creation of China in its current form and means a two-day holiday for Hongkongers, and usually an influx of mainland tourists to its shopping precincts.


Pro-democracy protesters hold umbrellas in Hong Kong

Leung said at a flag-raising ceremony: "We hope that all sectors of the community will work with the government in a peaceful, lawful, rational and pragmatic manner... and make a big step forward in our constitutional development."

But the ceremony, at Bauhinia Square on Hong Kong Island's waterfront and only a short walk from the protest's epicentre, attracted demonstrators who booed Mr Leung, before turning their backs for his address.

One protest leader, Lester Shum, of the Hong Kong Federation of Students, said there was "no room for dialogue" with Mr Leung because he had ordered police to fire tear gas at demonstrators. "Leung Chun-ying must step down. If he doesn't resign by tomorrow, we will step up our actions, such as by occupying several important government buildings," he said.

Local councillor Paul Zimmerman waved an umbrella, a symbol of the city's democracy movement. He said he did so "because it stands against the shooting of tear gas at the children of Hong Kong".

Oscar Lai, a spokesman for the student group Scholarism, said: "We are not celebrating the 65th anniversary of China. With the present political turmoil in Hong Kong and the continued persecution of human rights activists in China, I think today is not a day for celebrations, but rather a day of sadness."

Official worries about the disruption even affected celebrations in Beijing — in fairly comical style. There, the 10,000 doves to be released at sunrise in Tiananmen Square had their feathers and anuses checked for dangerous materials, according to state-run media.
