      So, in your view, a single man can sway an entire people to follow his ideals without any issue? My my, he must be a master of deception, maybe Loki himself. You’re as unserious as the legal processes in dictatorships

        No? Jimmy Lai was just one example that was convicted in the last few days after evidence was collected. You’re deeply unserious.

          And where are the rest of the people who helped this wrong insurrection against the Chinese government?? Millions of people rallying against China but they’re still the good guys. Keep telling yourself that you’re right and everybody else is wrong, you’ll be always right

            The riots died down and the majority of people support the status quo. That’s literally what happened. Hong Kong is doing better now than when they were a British colony, that you seem to wish they remain.

              Why did the riots died down? Was it a decision by the people or had the Chinese state step in to crack down the manifestations by force? Have you seen the images of Chinese police attacking protestors and people?? Are you selectively blind?

                It was both. Police cracked down on violent protestors, and the protestors gave up as well. The pro-colonization side lost and now most people support the status quo. Capitaliats are still upset though.

                  Ah yes, the always useful “violent protestors”. How convenient there’s always some in all movements against China

                    The west does indeed try to force violence into protests they back, yep! Arming and radicalizing people against socialist governments is a tried and true tactic of the west.
