Silver tried to pull a pr bullshyt on the CCP by not picking a side. The CCP just pulled a power move on the NBA by pulling all the games from airing. These capitalist owners just got exposed they all about the money. Whatever campaign they have going on in Amerikkka about black issues is all just smoke and mirrors. The owners play both sides to keep peace and the money flowing.

As for China's politics you should look at this shyt objectively. If Alaska decided they wanted to be on their own all hell would break lose in Amerikkka. The fact of the matter is Hong Kong is part of China, their people are historically Chinese and from the mainland. There's no reason for the league to go in and mendle with their politics.
This is absolutely not the same

It was an analogy that's similar because both places involved some sort of financial compensation for territory. Hong Kong was leased from China to the British Empire, both British and Chinese troops liberated Hong Kong during WW2 from Japan. Afterwords mass migration poured into HK from China. People of HK got a taste of capitalism under the British and got corrupted to induce instability into the region.

Puerto Rico.

If mainland US said Puerto Rico must force former US residents to pay taxes in the same manner they do here...
...the U.S. would not give a fuk what people in another country have to say.

This aint our fight.
You think if protestors here started getting violent the Feds would just let that go?

The problem here is that you accepted an agent of the Chinese government’s disingenuous framing of the issue so now your analogy makes no sense.

The HK protestors are not trying to secede from the mainland, they are trying to keep the freedoms in the 1 nation, 2 systems that they were promised in place.

If the US was taking people who said negative things about Trump and putting them in Guantanamo with no trial or just straight disappearing them then it would be an apt comparison, because that is what the protests are about

Extradition bill has been withdrawn. Last I checked Hong Kong is a part of China. And they're not gonna be an independent country however much they cry out to their former colonial masters, got em waving their flag :scust:
Even their western media supporters concede that it's a pointless exercise.
If they wanna secede they know how that game go :birdman:
And even they must have come to the conclusion that no one's coming to their aid
Like I said, kid gloves :stopitslime:

Those HK protesters(heck even the posters in this thread) just USA/western shills. These HK protesters are just fighting a losing battle. These clowns would rather be ruled over by the colonist British than other Chinese. Also based on what posters who been to China told me China is LESS strict than USA in terms of guidelines lol.

This is the tip of the iceberg crazy enough

China got their hand up our ass in so many facets n moving the US like a puppet.

They’re militarizing an ENTIRE Sea that many countries have holdings in and just told to them fukk off n do something about it.

They’re illegally fishing ALL over the world

They’re buying up massive amounts of real estate in countries like they US, Canada and Australia among countless others.

Throwing millions of Muslims in camps

Recolonizing Africa and doing similar predatory lending to countries all over the world.

Have been threatening to invade and annex Taiwan for years under the false pretense of them being a runaway province

Not to mention the Hong Kong Andy Tibet situations...

China’s poaching market is threatening endangered species literally all over the world including Africa


I kno the US is not perfect..but this is a totalitarian state capitalistic regime with zero free speech and ruled by a man who appointed himself as lifetime dictator literally trying to become the dominant economic and military power in the world.

This shyt feels like a crossroads in history moment, what mfs gon do?

GTFO with this western filled propaganda garbage especially the bolded. The enemy of my enemy is my ally. Some of you guys are just scared to shyt that USA will not have its precious hegemony. USA has done far worse domestically and internationally that I don't even have to go into detail. Now not defending China but fukk USA. Before you tell China to fukk off tell your precious USA to fukk off outta Latin America especially my father's country Haiti.

:heh: of course the Coli thinks China is communist. And Hong Kong belongs to China whether anyone likes it or not.
The same Communist Party that Mao founded still runs China whether you want to acknowledge that or not, and who anywhere in this thread has claimed that Hong Kong isn't part of China?

Uh... No duh?:heh:

Fact is China hasn't been communist since Deng Xiaoping back in the 70s.:heh: Ever heard of the "opening up" period?
Chinese economic reform - Wikipedia

@Tommy Knocks the posts in this thread is what I was talking about. And my point with HK is that its inevitable that they would be absorbed back into China.
