Thread: Hong Kong and Taiwan Are Bonding Over China

  1. #61
    freedom and independence

    The US government said it wants Spain to remain united amid the ongoing dispute over Catalan independence.
    "I think Spain is a great country, and it should remain united," Trump said.

    HK can get a independence but not Catalan because Spain is a puppet. Why HK? because itchy to get military bases.

    Saudi Arabia is the result of British meddling not American meddling, I don't see your beloved China doing anything about it either, in fact you guys seem to be buddying up to them.
    I guess one oppressive barbarian regime feels a kinship for another.

    I supported Catalan independence.

    You seem unable to fathom the idea of people supporting things on their own instead of always siding with one government's dictates or another.

    China wanted Catalan independence because it wants to see the EU collapse and it supported Crimea because it is allied with Russia.
    In spite of the fact that I generally oppose China I supported both because they had a right to liberty and independence or to join Russia.

    No difference, just different people and place.
    The regime change in Venezuela failed.
    You support Catalonia and Crimea but you don't support the people of Hong Kong or Venezuela.
    It's completely obvious that your only principles are the interests of Communist China.

    Yes HK does belong to China, as evidenced by UK returning HK.

    But HK wants to leave, as evidenced by the millions on the streets against the 6M population of HK. I know plenty of HK'ers and believe me, hating on Mainland is not a hip 2019 thing.

    So let them leave if they want to. But you keep making this about America or UK. Its not about any of that. The people of HK want to GTFO of Mainland's grasp, how can you not support them on that?

    Look you want to be against the American empire, whatever thats cool. But don't be so against the empire that you won't even afford freedom seekers the respect of aligning who they wish to align with to help them gain their freedom.

    No matter if you are libertarian or not, being aligned with the west = far more freedom than if you are controlled by China.

    Maybe you haven't been to China or don't understand the CCP's culture. You will though, if nothing is done. And you won't like it.

    Freedom is NOT popular. HK should get all the help that they want, if we help them, thats a risk that we take.

    Also to another post you made. Taiwan is not necessarily apart of China, as much as China claims it is.

    Your American lying Maisntream News Media outlets always lies about the actual number of protestors whatever they are in Moscow or HK. Whenever such a protest happens your beloved FOX News, MSNBC or whichever go blitzkrieg onto the claims.

    "Over Million Protestors are protesting in Moscow Against Russia and Putin"

    Just because your MSM claims that there are millions on the streets against the 6M population of HK doesn't always mean its the truth.

    Look you want to be against the American empire, whatever thats cool. But don't be so against the empire that you won't even afford freedom seekers the respect of aligning who they wish to align with to help them gain their freedom.
    Save your Neocon talk. They will have their freedom as long as they become American/British puppets again.

    Soros must be very happy to know that Americans are supporting his NGOs efforts in HK.

    Oh yes it is about America and Britain who do you think militarily occupied HK when Britain was in Asia? and tried to militarily take over beijing? the British. The fact those so called protestors were waving both American flags and the flag of the British empire days.

    Really speaks volume. It would be no different from a Jihadist in Syria asking for a military intervention.

    Freedom AS LONG AS YOU AGREE WITH THE NARRATIVE.


    I have being already labelled by you fake freedom supporters as a communist for not supporting this obvious regime change and protest movement which had being started up by NGOs and including by Soros as well.

    You don't support the brave protestors? you must be a communist or a propagandist of China! if anything this protesting that is happening in HK is exposing you NeoCons that love protests whenever they fit your interests.

    But Catalonia and Crimea are pure and untouched by either Russian or ChiCom meddling.

    Sure.


    All legitimate movements are immediately infiltrated by powers who will benefit from them, you will never find a movement that isn't, therefore you must judge the movement itself and not its backers.

    Hong Kong is right and China is the greater evil.
    Crimea was right and Catalonia was right.

    You clearly only support movements that benefit Chinese interests.

    How very mature of you. No wonder you support the clown trump who isnt doing anything about the Walls and using this as a distraction to get away from his failures on trade deals in Europe etc.

    In Europe Trump is being mocked.

    My ChiCom media? your rather comical with that one. You might as well just support John Bolton on his regime change in Iran while your at it.

    Yea you've been doubling down since page 1 and its not looking good for you.

    Your line of thought would also be telling the American colonists to end the revolution and get back in line to serve the British Empire.




    And here it is, when Yaron Brook even knows supporting HK is the right thing to do, you know you've gone too far.

    An August 20 article in the Singapore-based Straits Times noted that the number of people moving from Hong Kong to Taiwan has risen rapidly in recent months, and during the first seven months of 2019 is up 28 percent compared to a year earlier. The Times attributes this increase to the “anti-government protests that have swept the former British colony amid fear that its autonomy from Beijing is being eroded.”

    Taiwan’s top diplomat said Tuesday that his government stands with Hong Kong citizens pushing for “freedom and democracy,” and would help those displaced from the semi-autonomous Chinese city if Beijing intervenes with greater force to quell the protests.Speaking to The Associated Press in Taipei, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu was careful to say his government has no desire to intervene in Hong Kong’s internal affairs, and that existing legislation is sufficient to deal with a relatively small number of Hong Kong students or others seeking to reside in Taiwan.
    But he added that Hong Kong police have responded with “disproportionate force” to the protests. He said that any intervention by mainland Chinese forces would be “a new level of violence” that would prompt Taiwan to take a different stance in helping those seeking to leave Hong Kong.
    “When that happens, Taiwan is going to work with the international community to provide necessary assistance to those who are displaced by the violence there,” he said.


    “The people here understand that how the Chinese government treats Hong Kong is going to be the future way of them treating Taiwan. And what turned out in Hong Kong is not very appealing to the Taiwanese people,” Wu said.
    China’s Communist Party insists that Taiwan is part of China and must be reunited with it, even if by force. Modern Taiwan was founded when Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists, who once ruled on the mainland, were forced to retreat to the island in 1949 after the Communists took power in the Chinese Civil War.
    Beijing has suggested that Taiwan could be reunited under the “one country, two systems” model that applied to Hong Kong after the former British colony was returned to China in 1997. That agreement allowed Hong Kong to keep its civil liberties, independent courts and capitalist system, though many in Hong Kong accuse Beijing of undermining those freedoms under President Xi Jinping.
    Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen has said that the “one country, two systems” model has failed in Hong Kong and brought the city to “the brink of disorder.”
    Government surveys earlier this year showed that about 80% of Taiwanese citizens oppose reunification with China.
