Really this one kinda run of the mill. You can protest outside the stadium but no one is going to let protesters against a guest country do their thing during the game no matter what country it is.
It's the part where China trying to force the NBA to regulate what their employees say on their own personal twitter accounts where the over-the-line bullshyt is.

:Docriverswtf:Anyone else thought Hong Kong was in Japan?
I was in Hong Kong in the Summer of 98 when I was in ROTC in school and it was hilarious seeing all the Brits in the process of leaving. Everyone was paranoid that China was gonna turn HK upside down after the changeover. Lots of natives left as well and went to Australia and the west coast of the United States.
Funny part is China left HK alone and shyt was basically the same. All dat angst over nothing. But now that the Chinese started some ole slick shyt, the HK people ain't having it and their fears are now coming true 20 years later. You gotta be careful if you're the Chinese government. When the people turn against you, it's nothing you can do, no matter how hard you try to prevent it.
shyt, the US has had a good run itself that if these morons in DC aren't careful, shyt can go left here too...

But that's the part that is funny, even in these months of protest China has stayed away and has no involvement. Hong kong is ranked number 1 in economic freedom year after year, they can say do what they want, so why the protest?
they are protesting the extradition law that was passed where China is trying to exert more control in the legal affairs of HK and Taiwan, 2 areas that are technically Chinese, but on their own. In the case of Taiwan, outside of China, everyone treats them as their own country.
Essentially, any criminal in HK and Taiwan can be sent to Chinese jails instead of jails in HK and Taiwan respectively. The people in those areas ain't with that shyt and in HK the people there are pushing for even more democratic control of the area.

Hong Kong's protests started in June against proposals to allow extradition to mainland China.
Critics feared this could undermine the city's judicial independence and endanger dissidents.
A former British colony, Hong Kong has some autonomy and more rights than the mainland under a "one country, two systems" deal.
City leader Carrie Lam agreed to suspend the bill, but demonstrations continued and developed to include demands for full democracy and an inquiry into police actions. The bill was finally withdrawn in September. "
Clashes between police and activists have been becoming increasingly violent, with police using tear gas and activists storming parliament.
The more I read about the shyt, it doesn't seem like China is really being that much of dikkheads against the people of HK. The extradition was on a case by case basis too. The law was even shot down, but China arrested a lot of the protesters and they are in Chinese jails apparently. That still has a lot of the HK cats hot.
Right so the bill was squashed even though it's normal for countries to have extradicition bills in place. Do you know why that bill was proposed in the first place? It's because some guy killed his GF and fled back to HK, so you have a murderer on the street that can't be extradicted. I don't understand what more democractic control means when they're already number 1 economically? Aren't the protest showing how democratic they are already?
China is not gonna rock with Hong Kong being independent in the middle of its country. Thats like Colorado being a Mexican Colony in America. Once they came from up under Britain, it was inevitable. This is just the a step towards that reality. Hong Kong will be China's again at some point.
HK is already part of China, The Chinese just let them do their own thing. But like @chineebai said, this shyt started with some Taiwanese cat killing his broad and going back to HK. Taiwan and HK have no extradition agreement so China basically stepped in to handle the situation. HK is part of china and China still believes that Taiwan is as well (even though the Taiwanese don't think so). China was trying to do the right thing and get homie locked up but shyt went south and then with the protests and the Chinese arresting protestors, it just got out of hand. Now HK cats want out of being part of China altogether after protesting the extradition bill (which got canned).
Just fukkery all around.

I'm sure China would be satisfied with that and wouldn't of taken the Bill passing as a go button to continue to infringe upon HK's democracy.
funny how all of this started because of a fukkin murderer being allowed to essentially go free
I know but its more of a city state than state of China. Its a separate govt. I just mean China will change that at some point in the future.
yeah, they are supposed to let them be for 100 years and honestly they really have.
It's just insane that this shyt started over some cat murkin his girl and how China tried to fix the situation.
