Going to Hong Kong thread [Merged]

[kisshmet]

anti-China/pro-US/anti-Du30/pro-dengvaxia political bias

Pro dalian train which was made in china

Chang kai shek is right..you cant trust communist china

Hong kong is a failed autonomy

This all happened for a reason..FREEDOM

TAIWAN has always been free from communist china

Who does? Answer: No one. So mankind is doomed?

Not really. It's just the way it is in politics and international affairs. Those who are in power usually don't care about morals and values when their interests are at stake.

Go to an even bigger bully to help you defend yourself from the person bullying you -- it's the way of the world. US is still bigger than China. So everyone gravitates to them. Does not mean they have moral highground, but you know China's scares Sh*t of them, for now.

If China can terrorize big corporations like that, imagine how China terrorizes the individual? "Scary" is an understatement.

Big company yes, but individual lalo na yung citizens nila I don't think so, I've been living in China for quite some time now and wala naman akong nakikitang they've been terrorizing their citizens, but well it depends also if that individual criticize the government then you can expect a knock on your door, but I think they need to do that, they are governing 1B+ people, so they really need to govern with an iron hand, like what my late friend from Taiwan said, democracy is not for everyone, think about it, if China is democratic country now, sobrang gulo siguro dito, mas magulo pa nga diyan sa pinas eh, we can't walk alone in the middle of the night without being mugged or held up, dito I can walk alone without fear that someone will rob you.

I'd like to see the cockroaches smash their Iphones and vandalise Apple stores... Using the same reason they used in vandalising the MTR stations...

In the arms race, US is 20 years ahead of China sa technology, but yun nga lang, US now is afraid of China bcoz China now has the money and resources to build its weapons, remember that China is good at copying kahit ano hahahaha.

which is why the US is trying to weaken China

the trade war is more than a trade war

tariffs, blacklisting China companies

US goal is to cripple China's economy

US goal is to prevent China's rise

China I think is not afraid of US, but they're not ready yet kaya kahit anong provocation gawin ng US, di sila kakagat kasi alam nila they will loose, kaya they're being patient for the mean time.

Since h.s , china has been known to be sleeping giant...

Ngayon gising na gising na.... their assets are all over the world... kaya ingat na ingat sila sa action kasi u.s and its allies are watching every moves they make... one mistake move, may reason and chance ang kalaban na patulogin ang giant pero it will come with a price...

Yes, I don't disagree wtih you sir. There should ba a balance in everything to achieve harmony. Too much of anything is bad. Too much freedom, and too much restrictions are both not good for the soul.

But you can't have power concentrated to one side only. This leads to abuse. Both sides, the governed and those governing should have power -- not necessarily equal power -- to counter each other to balance things out when necessary. That is the way to harmony.

As I see it, the Chinese government of today have too much power, and even clinging on to that power like leeches, for the longest time that they can cling on to it. Like forever.

As you pointed out, individuals can't even speak out against the Chinese government if the government happen to do something wrong, without consequences coming back to them. Those who find the courage to do so gets jailed, or worse. That's what I meant by "terrorize the individual" -- those individuals who dare to stand up against tyranny were snuffed out -- and that kind of terrorizing is never good in my book.

AH, the mysteries of life. I find it funny and ironic, sir, that you didn't click the link because of your pre-conceived biases and labels, and yet you inadvertently ended up posting a portion of it through your quoted piece. For your information and elightenment, that same quote you posted was actually in the article I linked if you were open enough to read it. Heh heh.

And there it is again.

Of course it goes without saying that the US looks after itself first and foremost, just as China looks after itself first and foremost. The difference is who do you side with? Which bully do you support?

That's why BIG is bad. Big corporations, BIG governments, they're all the same. US grew so big, it became bully #1. China is bully #2 now that it's gaining in BIGness. Concentrated power, concentrated money -- all bad, because humans being humans will abuse that power, that money.
