Hong Kong protests [Discussion]

cnlonglive (62) · 5 years ago

As a mainland Chinese, I know exactly what they fight for. Frankly, I was also a victim of the CCP tranny who has to flee far away from home. We the real Chinese patriot and dissidents don even have any room or space to fight back for ourselves. As the Chinese who pro the Republic of China, we stand with Hong Kong people. I 've known there are lots of people in China who were locked up just because of supporting Hong kong people fight for their own rights. even though we are enslaved by CCP, it doesn't mean we are ignorant. yes, there are still a large number of Chinese people lost their mind or being brainwashed, but I have the conviction that the darkness will be enlightened, sooner or later the dawn must come! at that time we Chinese people will honor each other fight for ourselves exactly like Hong Kong people are doing right now!

I have to apologize here to all Hong Kong people, I know I should physically sand with you guys against the common enemy, but I can't. there is no room leave to us to fight like what u r doing! THEY CONTROLLED EVERYTHING, THEY WILL USE OUR FAMILY AND OUR FRIENDS TO THREATEN AND FORCE US. If anyone exposes himself to the public for supporting HongKong , his entire family will get involved and implicated. the parents may face to the dismissal, the kids may dismiss from school! They are the true evil , using the family who is the people we most love to enslave us!

Right now, it's you, hong kong people, the last chance. Don't back down, otherwise they will spread their slavery system to Hongkong. They will use everyone you loved to enslave you.....

想对香港朋友说几句：感谢你们的坚持，你们是我们的镜子，和楷模。你们这几个月的坚持一直激励着我，抱歉，我没有胆量去公开暴露我自己，更不可能和你们并肩战斗，但是并不代表我不想，我做梦都想和你们一样战斗，畅快淋漓的为着民主，自由，法治去战斗！

时代革命，光复香港！

Stay strong and don't give up! It took us 4 years of protests to get rid of a corrupted government yet some important figures are still in power.

Thanks to reply, Chinazi won’t last long. Chinazi is playing the role like Soviet Union from Cold War. hong kong freedom fighters draw attentions from all over the world during this new Cold War between US-China. I don think CCP have the guts to do the Tiananman crackdown nowadays again especially in Hong Kong which has the free speech,free press and free media.

Be safe and keep the protesting until the end, Glory will be back to Hong Kong again. Not only hongkong people need this victory, the entire civilized world need it, the entire human being need the Hong Kong free. right now the Hong Kong human right bill is in the process of senate voting,the world won’t leave the Hong Kong people behind!

万事小心，荣光一定会归于香港的保重。

The front liners in Hong Kong have been battling non stop for many months now. Many have given up so much for the cause and are prepared to die for it should the worse come to the worse.

For those not on ground to support them, all I ask is for the international community to help spread the word about what is happening, to your friends and family and via social media.

The world needs to know what is happening in Hong Kong, how people's liberty is being eroded day by day, how a normal person going to work can be arrested for no reason, how the police are charging into university campuses and accusing students of illegal assembly, how they are firing tear gas left right and center with disregard to public safety.

Hong Kong is not and has never asked for independence. All we ask for is the democracy and freedom due to us. We fully understand that we can't do this alone, and any international support we can get, no matter how big or small will help one step forward to achieve this.

Thank you for bringing international attention to this issue. The Recruitment Office tells me that the HK Police Farce will soon need recruits to replace our attrition. Some photogenic white monkeys would make for perfect WeChat stories and press shots. Did I just say press shots? Excuse me peppering about some spicy humour - brings us all to tears. Seriously though, did you know HKPF now sources tear gas from more countries than we did mere months ago? Yes, such is our commitment to diversity!

The only reason hong kong is allowed the protests is because china doesn't yet have a full administrative presence there. The protesters know they won't be able to protest if china is in full control.

They obviously wouldn't want to be in the position Muslim Uighyurs or Falun Gong members are in. The CCP has killed at least 2000 Falun Gong members and an unknown number of Muslims and Gong members for organ harvesting.

We at HKPF support the rights of China citizens to hold peaceful demonstrations supportive of the regime and against our obvious enemies. For balance other protest gathering are also allowed but three or more people constitutes an illegal assembly. Careful walking home from school there kids.

All my heart and my support and with you people of Hong Kong. The independence of Algeria and Hong Kong and all countries led by criminal crooks.
I live in Algeria we protest against this indirect colonization for 9 months
and these weeks which comes, its determinant but the world does not speak.

The peoples of the world are beginning to understand that the place of crooks and in prison, and not to be leaders, and that's thanks to the alert launcher in the world, but the ongoing fight and the crooks do not let go business, he used to triumph even after the revolutions, and the history of humanity prove it today countries that are not run by families of criminals and crooks are rare, and the crooks do anything to destroy them like the democrat party in Sweden which is a scammers' party funded by rogue families to destroy the Scandinavian model, but fortunately the Swedes have not fallen into their trap. for the good of the people is necessary to follow the example of the Nordic countries. (Scandinavian) studied their history how it came to become the only countries to the people are free to good triumph over evil.
it must be understood that Scandinavia is not just about the history of the Vikings, so you understand how Scandinavia and become a model to follow,
it is necessary to study the history of Sweden from the time of Gustave Vasa until modern times.
and you will see how the world tried to destroy Sweden, and its model to deliver corrupt or powers,
but thanks or Swedish people and these good leader (it is necessary always to supervise the leaders even if it is good) it not succeeded. alore for a new Constitution can draw inspiration from the Swedish constitution is also from all the good ideas that gives power to the people as the good idea of Citizenship Initiative Referendum the (ric) that was requested by the yellow vests which represent the French people. and who has been refused by the government of scammers and French criminals who support criminals around the world and on everything else, and who do everything to prevent Africa from developing.

This is bound to happen, event in mainland China it will happen, because once people's survival and comfort is settled than the really struggle for freedom and liberty starts.

Once the survival process is taken care of, than only ideas matters to People and that is what is happening in Hong Kong and that is what will happen in China too.

$0.00

littleboy (72) · 5 years ago

This has happened in china once. And they were brutally suppressed with military force. Ever heard of the tank man?

People's survival and comfort has little to do with the struggle for freedom and liberty. The chinese people have rebelled in many areas even when they weren't living comfortably.

$0.00

banzzara (56) · 5 years ago

I was just pointing out that till now china has ruled with an absolute iron fist, and that is one of the reason of its fast paced economic development.

But iron fist will not work on People who are empowered with education, ideas and economic well being. As more and more Chinese people are becoming affluent, demand for freedom and liberty will grab more attention.

Earlier there were only one tank man and few others who were struggling for their rights and freedom but as number will increase government will find itself in tight spot.

I think now Chinese government should think about becoming more liberal and open to new ideas slowly slowly.

$0.00

mobbs (69) · 5 years ago

Not sure I agree. As the middle class rises, comfort also rises. As long as the government can provide them with that, protests are unlikely. Those who are not wealthy are typically trapped behind the Great Firewall, completely oblivious to what's going on.

In fact, my extremely wealthy friend here essentially wished death upon the HK people at one point, genuinely emotitonally anngered and upset by their brutish uncivilized behaviour. Does that sound like the narrative of an affluent, empowered individual?

This person is very well educated, with VPN access, but their natural state of media consumption is casual, so they only get the one side: HK kids are evil.

I don't really see any evidence that people are increasing in frustration at the CCP. And those that do simply say they'd rather not talk about it because everything they do is tracked and watched

$0.00

banzzara (56) · 5 years ago

In that context I also think if government is taking care of people's aspirations, it is all fine all good

But those wealthy people are ok and ignorant only untill they begin to feel the heat. Because of the controlled media inside China, one( or I) barely know what is actually happening in China but what I have heard from other people and what is happening in the Hong Kong shows that there must be something wrong with the way China is taking things forward.

But on the other sometimes I think what people really want freedom from, if government is taking care of people's aspirations and is successful in providing them a good standard of living, what is the problem ?

Hi @transisto and @likwid we can talk together

I think you guys are downvote to @sultan-aceh because you see his art that he posts can be a lot like and that me and my team vote for him. Why we give @sultan-aceh votes on every blog he has with friendship over a longer time here.

I will continue to vote for @ sultan-aceh but I will reduce it to 49% vote. @ Sultan-aceh will continue to vote for me too but he will reduce it to 39% vote.
He does not want to draw more pictures now, but will post other things on the blog as I think you think the picture number was too similar

He also has a project in progress that you may have read about that will help more people use steemit in the Aceh forest.

If you have been watching lately, I have changed my voting pattern a bit.
I'm sorry to accuse you of having another agenda that I included in my post when I wrote about @sultan-aceh.

To you I have only given a 100% downvote once a long time ago
due to a comment about another user where I think you were unfinished in what you wrote.

I see others taking revenge on you with giving downvote back.
That's not my idea at all, I don't like the downvote being used as revenge.

When it comes to @sultan-aceh and me, we don't vote for ourselves. We also do not buy from bitbots. But I see it being voted from previous bitbots, but those are manual votes I think

We want @sultan-aceh to continue in steemit because he is a great role model in Aceh and can help many there to become Steemians.
Hope you guys can help @sultan-aceh continue and give some kind words to him.

Regards @xpilar

I saw that video yesterday. I liked the fact that they used word "protest" and "protesters" instead of "riot" and "rioters." Which is quite peculiar considering that South China Morning Post has lost it's reputation after being accused few times for bending down to China's manipulation and demands.

Vice News has been regularly reporting about protests too.

Sorry, down-voted because there is nothing here! Took me a while to decide whether to down-vote or not. The rewards do not coincide with the content (which is beyond low energy). While I applaud your efforts to start a conversation, this could have entailed a bit more effort.

I do not down-vote (or up-vote for that matter, most times) without explaining why, even if the reason seems to be self-evident.

Had to modify this comment to make an observation... there are a number of folks mysteriously absent who tout themselves as using their down-votes and communities/initiatives to protect the rewards pool. Guess I am not the only person that participates in identity politics. Or... is their silence due to fear of reprisals?

The choice seems to be clear: embrace freedom or live in an ever increasing surveillance state. Unfortunately, circumstances have made this choice much harder. What China's government is doing reminds me of the actions of states in the past and is very dangerous. This is where societies should (have to) make a stand if they want to keep their (already more and more resticted) freedoms.

Thank you for bringing international attention to the disproportionate use of force by protestors. How dare they use primitive weapons against our; batons, tear gas, baton rounds, pepper spray, pepper bullets, tear gas grenades, flash bangs, assault rifles, water canons and armoured vehicles.

I would like to say that it seems there is a mass uprising rooted in liberty and freedom the world over. As an american who resists the idea that a government has the authority to take away peoples rights and sell them back as privlages, i urge the Chinese people to take back their government. While i cannot physically lend a hand in toppling the communist leadership of your country i am 100 percent with you in spirit. I want to leave a future for the next generation where the principles of sovereignty and liberty rule the day instead of regulation and corruption. If we all stand united world over this could be achieved. The enemies of liberty do not waver and so we may not rest until it is finished. God speed.

I was expecting to see at least one CCP shill make a post here like on Facebook or Twitter, but anyone here understands the value of decentralization and freedom. I’m glad to be a part of the Steem community and happy I never showed up to my job in Beijing now.

I wonder how the CCP will block Elon Musk’s Starlink. A global decentralized internet will be a powerful tool in spreading freedom and democracy around the world.

I’m looking forward to the day when the mainland Chinese wake up and stand up to the evil CCP, burn the hammer and sickle, and join the free world.

mobbs (69) · 5 years ago

In a nutshell, my view is equal to the Christian community there: Both sides need to show restraint.

Living in China I can see the overall opinions of people here and the more violent HK gets, the happier the CCP becomes. It's just a growing list of reasons they need to come and 'rescue' the city with military intervention.

They are famous for playing the long game so don't expect some Iron Fist force hammering down in some city-wide curfew, but the end result, however it happens, will be the same. HK will calm down, Ethnic Hong Kongers will slowly be replaced by the Han, voting will be revoked as the city government slowly gets dissolved (not that it's worth shit now anyway given that nobody protested when they signed away their right to vote for anybody except pro-beijing officials).

It's sad, but violence is only expediating the process, I guess

The nativist Hong Kongers are grandchildren of the swimmer generation who escaped the glorious abundance in post Revolution China and who now express their poverty mindset via a new generation. Unfortunately, they are Han Chinese too. We cover these facts and many more in our comprehensive and totally non-biased recruitment course to re-educate the holes in our officers understanding.
Luckily for you, we accept recruitment applications from overseas. There are many British people currently serving.
