True. Hongkongers should be grateful China shows respect when they could just cut the lines and force their power over Hongkong. If it weren't for the one country two system agreement, these protest could have ended in just a day.

The people in China has much respect to their government that they look at it as their father and do as what their father says. Technically Hongkong is part of China whether they like it or not China will take over Hongkong sooner but this protest has been prolonged too much that I think is funded to weaken China's economy.

They should not. China shows respect only bcz by doing so their leaders' gain is far more than loss.
Quite a few high ranking CCP leaders actually want Hong Kong to remain a city of libertarian capitalism so their agents in Hong Kong can happily launder their money collected from corruptions and covert it into USD.

Of course. A country under a nationwide strike/protest would be a state of national emergency, and would require international intervention.

But the protests lasting since July is impressive. Next protests, maybe Bitcoiners should raise their arms in support.

Emmmm, I am a bitcoiner. But I won't raise arms to help those protests.
Since June, I have seen so many lies and much violence made by both sides that I would support neither.

End can never justify the means.
If people don't stick to this principle, after overthrowing an asshole, they just put another group of motherfuckers in power or the freedom fighters themselves turn into bad guys.
That is the exact lesson learnt from Iran Revolution in 1979.

BTW, can you read Chinese?
