Nah, there are plenty of idiots who live in Canada, go to Canadian schools, and still think CHINA #1. Except now they don't have to log onto a VPN to post propaganda in YouTube comments.
The number of times I hear mainlanders tell me not to trust NY Times, WaPo, WSJ etc is hilarious. Yeah, I should get my news from Chinese state media or fucking Weibo instead.
This is the first time they have addressed sending the army into Hong Kong with tanks, chasing protesters, assaulting HK style residential homes, destroying civilian vehicles with grenade launchers. It's right there in the promo, PLA attacking protesters, warning them that “All consequences are at your own risk.” . Also with English subtitles possibly for the first time in a PLA video.
Also the video includes attacking America with missiles.

Don't think any of this is just a coincedence
They are fucking insane.

On another note, local media here tryin to make china kids look bad

Last week at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus, Hong Kong international students and peers who have ties to the territory put up a “Lennon Wall” – a message board full of posters and colourful sticky notes thatmainly express solidarity with Hong Kong’s demonstrators. According to some students, these notes, bearing messages such as “Stay with Hong Kong” and “Fight for Hong Kong,” were partly torn down three nights in a row.
There also was unrest at a university in Australia last week, where disagreements on the Hong Kong political turmoil turned violent. As seen in footage circulated on social media, punches were exchanged at the University of Queensland between pro-Beijing students and those who back the Hong Kong protesters, who began marching to oppose China’s proposal to extradite criminal suspects to the mainland.

He said the campaign does not represent the views of all students from Hong Kong and may increase the tension between students from the territory and mainland. He further added that some mainland Chinese students may think these messages encourage Hong Kong independence.

“They find it surprising: why Hong Kong wants independence,” he said.
Do it! Roll out the tanks on HK like what happen in 1989. I would love to see what the international gov reactions is after that.
Will they "actually" do something about it and not just talks?
What do you think they will do?! They don't give a fuck about what happens in Hong Kong. They rather not jeopardize their economic relationship with China.
If western nations cared would have already stood up and made China back down from creating those man made islands in South China Sea.
If China rolls in tanks all everyone will do is send thoughts and prayers then go about their day to day.
KunLun red Star shenzhen team lost 11-2 to HK U20 team. kid at the beginning got his cage ripped off
I mean it's getting more attention because of the political climate now, but we've seen plenty of videos like this... Whenever a Chinese team loses to a HK team, they go absolutely nuts. We've seen it in soccer, basketball, olympics, fucking BADMINTON once.. and yeah hockey too. The brainwashing that Chinese athletes endure must be hard for us to even fathom.

How is the local media trying to make the Chinese kids look bad? They're down 11-2 and decided to start assaulting the Hong Kong team. All media outlets, especially the hockey ones are calling it a disgrace.

The issue with South China Sea is that philippine is closet to the man made island but the president of philippine is very friendly with China so he isn't going to say a thing about it.
If tank does roll in HK you can bet is going to set off the international community. Just think how many companies invest in HK and made HK their main Asian headquarters. Not to mention the US election is coming up soon Trump is going to do something about it for sure (I mean he already started the trade war). All these humanity group is going to point their fingers to China once again.

While I wouldn't quite phrase it this way, I see the situation as a game of dare between the CCP gov and common Hong Kongers. To twitchyzero, welfare, and others who might have failed the post, I want to remind you that the on-going protests, acts of civil disobedience, and continued clashes are essentially the Hong Kong protesters' way of saying exactly what HappySilp is saying. It'd be absurd to think that the protesters have never considered the possibility of a PLA takeover / crackdown in Hong Kong, and yet their activities continue to occur, so I take that as their answer to the possibility of a PLA shutdown.
I also want to point out -- and this is something that strikes me heavily at the emotional level -- there are 2 biggest revelations that I have come to realize from the 50 days' worth of protesting:
1) the HKSAR gov as well as the HKPD are far more shameless than I have ever imagined
2) the youths of Hong Kong are really casting aside any sense of self-preservation they might have in the face of the HKSAR gov and policy tyranny
#2 is the reality that it is, because the Hong Kong youths see themselves as really having nothing to lose. Even prior to the extradition bill, the future for these youths is already very gloomy. A dead end job that barely makes enough for them to feed themselves. They won't ever be able to afford a place to live, and renting is just another mean of draining them of their hard earned dollars.
For PLA to enter HK would be the most stupid decision the CCP can make with HK situation.
It simply showed the rest of the world that China has not changed ONE BIT from 1989.
Given the current economy in China, I'm not sure it can withstand the potential consequences that ensue. Many of US allies who were considering any deal with China or Chinese companies... well, they just gave them a perfect reason not to. And it's not just political. If I were the head of Fobes 500/1000 with big presence in HK, I'd at least cease any further investment into HK to avoid getting caught in the conflict. Some of the more risk-averse industries might simply leave altogether because god knows what's going to happen next in HK.
Tonight HK's civil servants are walking a rally right now. The government caught wind of this and last night issued a sternly-worded statement to all civil workers that they should "be loyal" to the chief executive... My guess is, that letter just increased the number of people by at least 50%. They have no fucking clue how to get people on their side. These aren't fucking commies
So it's not just students, and it's not just people spending their Sunday afternoon as part of a march.
BTW they are organizing a city wide strike and shutdown on Monday. They're asking anyone who works in a non-essential job to walk out, and join one of the marches that are organized throughout the entirety of HK. T his could be massive, bigger than the 2 million person march.
The big 4 told they are going to flexible, SMB says they are allowing employees to stop work, banks are telling employees they have their rights; let's see how this turns out on this "shut down".
As to 2 million people march that last time; did you know there were some British analyst who wanted to do an actual count? From size of street, flow of people, # of heads, they setup cameras, props, measuring devices and algorithms to try to calculate the validity and the gap between gov't versus private polls.... somehow... these British analyst never came back with their results. I wonder what happened to them.
