Chinese fascism like all the others has an in-built self-destruct mechanism. Hong Kong has triggered it and the clock is now ticking.

Really? I had not noticed the French government making concessions or stepping down despite a whole year of demonstrations.

You're then, very misinformed.

In other countries, you know, democracies, when the people rise up like they have in Hong Kong, the leader either hears the people and takes steps to do what they want

The thing is the protesters have no leaders. They don't meet but just use apps to look out for each other. They need a plan. Listen to Joshua Wong on running for local office. His speech sounds like a high school student running for Student Council President.

And to think that this whole mess could've been avoided had Xi in Beijing just honored the promises made to the UK and the people of Hong Kong.

This is more of a reflection of what's wrong with the Chinese government than what's wrong with Hong Kong.

I suppose this kind of sentiment is related to the topic. Both China and the poster are trying to dictate to the people what they should and shouldn't do.

There is an escalation in pro-Beijing intimidation and threats which should not be taken likely. It's coming from the very top, it's coming from aggressive posts using disgusting language and it's coming from within campuses all across the world.

Indeed. The 50-cent army are coming in full force these days, and that is worrying enough to become a national security concern to any country that wants to live under a democracy with respect to the rule of law and with a chance to change governments if they don't do the job well.

At some point, China will have to taste backlash from all around the world because that kind of rhetoric is in line with the stuff the Nazis used to spread in Germany and through political parties with a similar ideology in other countries. Our leaders need to wake up in front of this threat more than never before.

I suppose it is good that the CCP has stacked the leadership in Hong Kong with puppets, or they'd really have something to worry about.

In other countries, you know, democracies, when the people rise up like they have in Hong Kong, the leader either hears the people and takes steps to do what they want

or

he steps down, usually talking govt friends with them.

But not in Hong Kong, because the CCP controls the swords and they aren't a democracy.

Ref: Puerto Rico Governor, President of Bolivia, PM of UK, PM of Kosovo, ... those are just in 2019.

I think liberals need to stay clear away from CNN and msnbc, even the NYT is sounding more rational these days

Trump and family first. Trump's only taken from the US, given little in return. Why's he hiding his tax info?

I think liberals need to stay clear away from CNN and msnbc, even the NYT is sounding more rational these days. No one cares about his taxes except for the haters. Haters, Trump’s taxes won’t put more money in your pocket or improve your health.

Liu Xiaoming is severely misinformed...

Only Trump stands up to China.

As long as Trump/Ivanka Inc. can get more trademarks and can continue to have their products made in China through arrangements with the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) oligarchs. Trump and family first. Trump's only taken from the US, given little in return. Why's he hiding his tax info?

Greed by most countries sees them accept chines money and also chinese rules.
