breh it's insanity
and it's nikkas who be talking that revolutionary shyt outchere seriously defending fukking China cracking down on citizens to the point their funding the triads to attack them that vying for their own independence and self-determination
the hong kong people are a prime example of how to deal with an authoritarian regime....
this thread is constant propaganda from questionable sources by a user who has a crazy amount of pro china sentiment...
their demands are not extreme.... why are the people being ignored?
America has always had a a presence in foreign affairs when they feel they could benefit
but the presence and applause doesn't mean the CIA is funding it or behind
America put guns and support behind the Mujahideen in the 80's because they felt they could be an asset to them fending off the Soviet Union's last attempt at colonizing another country.
and they didn't, America got played and had to pay for a never ending war in Afghanistan because of it.
and I guess America is shelling out money for this as well
this is just a shallow way for American big wigs to act like these protests and acts of civil disobedience are against Communism, which China in 2019 is far from, and not about the following:
Hong Kong protests: What are the 'five demands'? What do protesters want?
1 Full withdrawal of the extradition bill
The
proposed extradition bill would have allowed for courts in other places, such as China and Taiwan, to ask for criminals to be handed over. The protests started over a general mistrust of the Chinese legal system.
Currently, the government has
declared the bill “dead” and insists all work has stopped on the bill. But protesters demand the formal rules of withdrawing a bill be followed in the Legislative Council.

2 A commission of inquiry into alleged police brutality
On June 12, police dispersed protesters outside Legco with what protesters say is excessive force. They have criticised these actions ever since. Protesters also have little confidence in the current police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Council.
3 Retracting the classification of protesters as “rioters”
Shortly after June 12, when protesters surrounded Legco and forced the second reading of the fugitive bill to be stopped, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor and Commissioner of Police Stephen Lo Wai-chung used the term "rioters" to describe protesters, which is a crime that can be punished by up to 10 years in prison.

4 Amnesty for arrested protesters
So far, more than 700 protesters have been arrested in connection with the anti-extradition bill protests so far, charged with crimes ranging from illegal assembly and assaulting police to rioting.
5 Dual universal suffrage, meaning for both the Legislative Council and the Chief Executive
At the moment, only half the seats in Legco - the body which makes the city's laws - are directly elected by voters. The Chief Executive is elected by a 1,200-member commitee considered to be mainly controlled by Beijing.
