Of course not. Why would people of an entirely different nation vote in Independent Taiwan’s elections?
You don’t think we’re stupid enough to believe Taiwan is part of China just because you are that stupid, do you?
Chip Star
Ever hear of Tiananmen, Tibet, or the Uigurs? All prime examples of how Chinese people aren't violent.
Chip Star
Agreed, but that's not happening in Hong Kong. What's happening is freedom loving people fighting back against the creeping tentacles of the corrupt, dishonest, undemocratic, authoritarian CCP

Mainland Chinese are generally nice people until you talk politics with them. The all you hear is years of brainwashing coming out their mouths.
Chip Star
The Chinese Communist Party.
Chip Star
Chinese don't elect any of their leaders. That's irrelevant because we are talking about Taiwanese electing their president.
If Taiwan were actually part of China, Taiwan wouldn't have its own president or military.
Strangerland
unfortunately it’s standard more than shocking. When you talk to many Chinese people you find out how many of the only know the lies they have been told.
Chip Star
Nope. However, the BBC has credibility, unlike the Chinese government.

You may want to re-read our posts and/or look up the definition of quoting.

I reaffirmed myself again that democracy and human rights are very important for people who live there.

Rhats been my experience, but they still seem to always be shouting.
Chip Star
Agreed, but this article isn't about China and Xi; it's about a real democracy (Taiwan) and a democratically elected president (Tsai).

Stop believing everything your leaders tell you.
I hope the troll farm pays well.
Chip Star
Shocking, innit.
Chip Star
Of course not; I want truthful documents, not the lies the Chinese government publishes.
Im not surprised that you couldn't read the articles given your government activity blocks its people from certain websites and apps. What a sad existence.

"Funny that Hong King didn't have any of these demonstrations until the authoritarians in Beijing took control."
Hahaha, who are real authoritarians ?
Akie
To use extremists against laws is despicable, as simple as that.
Akie
Chip Star, did BBc say that "the Chinese government colonized Tibet" ?
Akie
zichi, HK's democracy is definitely not the same as UK's democracy. Never. Chinese people are not violent, as simple as that.
Akie
zichi said "Chinese Uighurs have been accused of violence and falsely imprisoned."
Chinese Uighurs have never been accused of violence and never imprisoned by Chinese. Maybe by your govt.
Akie
Chip Star, what credibility ? Colonization credibility ?
Akie
Chip Star, democratically elected president Tsai ? What a joke. Did 1.4 billion Chinese elect her ? Not on the planet of Earth. Never.
