I just wanted to show some support to you. It's absolutely disgusting what China does to Hong Kong, Tibet, etc, and also inside its own borders, towards its own people.

All of this without mentioning how it handled the very situation the whole world is going through nowadays, obviously.

It might take a lot of time, perhaps decades, but eventually the truth will be known, clear as a day.

I agree. This stance on pro-abortion by many celebrities, companies, etc just shows to me how twisted the world is nowadays.

Just a recent example, the guy who developed the "Maneater" videogame. The developer community took a **** on him. Just disgusting.

As Ronald Reagan once said, "'I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born".

I'd love it if a Laker spoke up something about China, and they stopped airing their games.

Or, if say China invaded Taiwan, would the NBA and Lebron still defend and do business with them?
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Hint: When you are actually facing repucrussions from the establishment for your position, thats when you know your social activism has merit.

This is why I can totally get behind and support pro Taiwan,hongkong, Tibet, Palestine movements.

I am from Hong Kong too, I don't see any of my freedom or human rights getting affected, in fact, my freedom was taken away when HK protestors/riotors were destroying public properties/ transports and forcing me to not attend work to join their movements.
So yea, how about enough with these bs and just play ball

that's what the western media wants you to believe, most people in Hong Kong and Tibet is fine, stop over reacting just because a few idiots from Hong Kong are having first world problems, pretty much like Kim Kardashian crying for the end of the world when her hair curler doesn't work.
It's pretty much that weapon of mass destruction bs in Iraq all over again

I didn't understand what you meant. Could you elaborate further?

Who's the western media? Which companies?

Who are those few idiots? Which group do they represent?

Didn't they jailed some of the news reporter?
Freedom of speech is a thing?
What about LinkedIn? They closed it for that same reason, freedom of speech, you can seriously speak the truth? Obviously not.

If I made the above comment in China, I could be in jail.
They took away a bookstore owner from a different law and jailed him. And if you read the news, they are forcing people to provide fake evidence. That is justice?

Huh? It seems like you have absolutely no idea of anything, I suggest you to educate yourself on the current events before showing support to anything, especially from another country that is thousands and thousands of miles away from you.

Dude, I was just trying to politely further up the discussion. No need to act like this.

I asked you to elaborate if possible, you come at me with the strawman's fallacy. Come on.

Most people are fine not caring about freedom of speech? You also mentioned that if you had made that comment in China, you will be in jail, while you are in Hong Kong, China? Aren't you contradicting yourself? Or are you already in jail? Where's the logic in that statement?
Funny you mentioned the bookstore incident as it's the biggest myth and the oldest bedtime story rioters tell to their kids, you being absolutely fine, commenting in this board, having access to anything you want whenever you want is the biggest evidence that Hong Kong is just fine and great. All I am asking is, show some respect to your culture, and stop **** at your own home. Your grandparents and parents had spent many years to build Hong Kong from the ground up, don't ruin it for the majority of us, you are free to migrate to another country anytime you want, yes, Hong Kong is a place with freedom, you don't get to yell and say **** about the government, but most of us are fine, we have all the freedom we need, I don't need to say **** about my birth place, and my own country, thank you.

If you don't know, I can tell you that Canada has access to Hong Kong media.
Newspaper:
Sing Tao Canada
Ming Pao Canada
TV news:
TVB news
Phoenix Hong Kong Television news

There are also Taiwan channels, China channels. In Canada, we can compare and understand the truth.

I give you an example (China):
https://bc.ctvnews.ca/wanting-qu-says-mother-s-bribery-charge-dismissed-1.5286053

Wanting Qu mother was charged for corruption, but this year the charge was dismissed. But she is still in jail.
Can you please explain how this is not a human right violation when the charge is dismissed and she is still in jail?

Another example in Canadians Kovrig (Hong Kong):
https://www.hk01.com/%E5%8D%B3%E6%99%82%E5%9C%8B%E9%9A%9B/681277/%E5%BA%B7%E6%98%8E%E5%87%B1%E8%BD%89%E6%8A%B5%E5%A4%9A%E5%80%AB%E5%A4%9A%E7%8D%B2%E5%A6%BB%E5%AD%90%E8%BF%8E%E6%8E%A5-%E7%A8%B1%E5%9B%9E%E5%9C%8B%E6%84%9F%E8%A6%BA%E9%9D%9E%E5%B8%B8%E5%A5%BD

Someone is clearly innocent, got in jail for no release, that is not human right violation?


Hong Kong people are fine being jailed for doing nothing wrong in their heart? I don't think so, just not speaking out.

Sure, Canada has all the human rights in the world, let's look at the famous Meng Wanzhou case, is that any different from the examples you have listed?

Grow up kiddo, there are not one place in the world that has 100% freedom and human rights. I am not even gonna spend more time with you on this topic, please don't ever come back to Hong Kong if you dislike it that much.

The claim from the article was "Canadian police have treated Meng in such an inhumane way by putting her in handcuffs and ankle braces without conviction", where Hong Kong police also handcuffs, put a paper bag for those without conviction, no?
