What's shocking is that even with guns drawn, someone threw a stick at the officers...

it will more be a response of "natural instinct" causing him to shoot the protestors holding a traffic cone and hitting officers.

Do HKPF not have tasers?

Seriously if this was in the US, these kids would have all been shot to death and the cops would've been exonerated in their killings.

^ you are right about it. Hongers (either protesters orpolice) are not experienced in this kind of events, they all believed in peaceful protest down the street (see those 8964 gatherings and all other protests) and go home. They were like level 1 compare to US level 99, think about if it is the same situation in the States, probably a lot of burned cars or looted shops or shooting everywhere.

You see Hong Kong police did drop their shields, low EQ, shooting randomly, threw tear gas to the press. Hong Kong protesters used umbrella, cried for help at the police station, yelling and shit. Now they are at level 2, sooner or later will smarten up.

中國廣電局再下令禁拍「記者臥底」題材

 傳同機場包圍《環球時報》記者有關?

提到內地劇集,近年最多人提到嘅必定係《後宮甄嬛傳》、《延禧攻略》及《如懿傳》等等,深受唔少中港台觀眾 歡迎。不過由於題材涉及鬥爭,所以中國廣電總局早前突然發出「限古令」,6 月前全面禁播一切古裝劇,上月底更指偶像劇都要禁播,改為推出多達86部「愛國」劇,以慶祝新中國成立70 週年。

而日前內地影視公司「恒生影業」就出post,「昨天廣電培訓,現在不支持境外涉案題材,以退伍軍人、僱傭 兵、記者臥底等身分進入境外採訪破案偵查等都不行。」更特別提醒叫「編劇們注意」!

有傳聞指廣電總局突然下令禁拍記者臥底題材,係因為早前係香港機場遭示威者包圍《環球時報》旗下記者付國豪 事件有關,並指題材會令外界對中國印象不好。

而前年由吳京自導自演,兼成為內地首部總票房突破50億嘅電影《戰狼II》,亦因劇情涉及中國軍人在境外扮 演世界警察儆惡懲奸嘅題材,所以導致《戰狼III》遲遲未獲得批文開拍。

Basically due to what happen to the China reporter in HK getting caught at the air port The movie and film assoication ban any movies/TV shows to do with Spy since is a too senstive matter. And Also to the 70th celebration for the CPR gov TV stations have to show TV shows that support the Chinese gov and spread the idea of love China. So all the regular TV shows are ban lol. Pretty sad and scary how the Gov of China control everything, people can't even watch the TV shows/movies they enjoy.

For people who argue against democracy, this is what they want. have a government in power that can't be replaced, and let them decide for the people what media, entertainment, and culture are. This is better than free choice, see, because the economy is better.

^true but TVB BLOWS DONKEY COCK. Fuck those ah mo's and their god damn lame ass bullshit.

TVB Generator

Insert one Ming Xing 40+ year old Ah Mo / Ah bak

Insert Generic Chinese plotline (Ancient China, Cop Drama, Comedy Romance, Office Drama)

Insert horrible shitty ass youtubeesque graphics during scenes and ketchup like fake blood

Delete any swearing of any kind

Get sponsored by some lame ass electronics company and be forced to use their shit throughout the entire series.

Rinse and repeat.

Edit: ninja’d. This was in response to Skinny.

^ they say money is the root of all evil. China seems to be a glowing example of that old cliche.

Trump isn’t far too behind and could be looking to take the lead

This place is fucked. I literally apologized to my kids the other day for bringing them into this mess. Who knows what they’ll face when they’re adults. Careers are overly demanding, free time is sparse and you need an expensive post-secondary education if you want to stand a chance out there. Not for the right reasons either. It’s because everyone, including schools, consistently strategize on ways to increase revenues and profits. The world as it stands today is seemingly designed to take every penny from you that they can.

I’m about ready to peace out. Wonder what my equity could get me in Nunavut

Yea but Hong Kong entertainment industry is way more than just TVB, and TVB was MUCH better in the 90s and early 2000. You can say the same generic shit that TVB does now started with alongside increase Mainland influence.

Hong Kong's golden era days of film in the 90s, there was literally no restriction on creativity. Hong Kong film nowadays is basically Chinese control propaganda. Everything has to fit within the current "restricted creative control"

While big money films are largely finance by Mainlander, I am so glad Hk still has tv channel like RTHK.

Didn't want to start a new thread



Thoughts on this?
https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/22/asia/...hnk/index.html

TL;DR

British consulate employee detained coming back from shenzhen.
Gf say he lost contact when he was coming back from border.

China version
A) china arrested him for engaging in prostitution or visit prostitutes shall be detained for no less than 10 days but no more than 15 days, and may also be fined 5,000 yuan ($705).

HK version
'Made-up crime'
b) political reasons cause he participated in riots

Hundreds to thousands go to China for prostitution and hundreds to thousands go to riots. Why him? Dd he really go and seek prostitutes.. maybe?

I think China fuked up on his case because his family was transparent about his whole ordeal and the dude has a very clean past, so there was a lot of skepticism already from the public that he would purposefully go to China for a prostitute.

China used him as a pawn peace to place more propaganda to its citizen to hate on HKers and oversea expats. This was during the time when a lot of UK politicians were putting pressure and scrutinizing China.

Chances are, he's probably going to receive a notice from his bosses not to say anything or else he's going to get fired or not see a bright future with his job.

There must be a reason why so many HK business guys goes to SZ every weekend. Pretty sure it's not about the electronics or cheap food...

P.s. I don't think this guy was looking for a hoe. Look at his face, he's a guai guai boy. I seriously doubt he seeks out sex workers. He looks more like a fanatic pokeyman collector.
