CCP always coming up with comical responses... it's like watching monty python

EmperorIS 11-18-2019 03:42 PM

Its only comical when they can't get away with it. Its absolutely terrifying that they can even suggest it. According to China, Hong Kong's judicial system is just an imagination.

Alpine 11-18-2019 05:08 PM

So if that is true, then HK is already under China control...

Tim Budong 11-18-2019 05:15 PM

the current CCP doesn't want to honor the treaty signed in the 80s that guarantees HK 50years of one country two systems

its as simple as that

Pretty much it.

The latest appointment of the new Chief of Police was appointed from Lam, under the “recommendation” of Beijing.....

China. HK is part of China. But HK is governed differently than main land China.

I didn't know much about XJ before, but after googling it, I understood why the protester graffiti'd that wall inside Poly.

So what makes it one country?

HK is like a warzone now. It's insane. Just a battle between Chinese media propaganda vs western media propaganda. It's an escalation of an eye for an eye between the cops and the protesters. Yes it was a peaceful protest to kick things off but now it's a full on riot, with a bunch of poor kids tied into the chaos...

I thought this nyt article was pretty funny too:

so people with weapons are still considered protesters overseas. In they state's they'd be considered as terrorists.

J____ 11-18-2019 10:05 PM

I thought this was a good explanation

I dun get it, are the foreign students (the ones not protesting) being shot at? Why don't they just walk out with their hands on their heads, they're not even protesting...

Honestly, it might be best for the remaining protestors to just walk out with their hands up and surrender during the middle of the day when all the cameras are rolling. I know what they are fighting for, but let's face it... They are surrounded and barring external intervention, it's only a matter of time before the police crush them. Who knows what sort of police brutalities will happen once the cameras are off or under the cover of darkness/tear gas/smoke/etc.

Alpine 11-19-2019 12:21 AM

Also, HK "police" have changed their slogan:

Or they got it from the LAPDs motto of 'to protect and serve'

Hkpfs motto is to serve with pride and care

RCMPs motto is to 'maintain the law'


Nope, that was pretty fucked up, I'd like to see what happened that caused the cop to go over to him, regardless though, that was ridiculous

They changed their motto today:


They no longer care (about the people), have no pride (who could?). But they are loyal (to the CCP), serve their duty (to oppress the people), with their own version of (tyrannical) honor

Seems about right SeemsGood

Jokes aside, it sure does seem more like a military like slogan than a public service slogan.

Firefighter speaks out, as he witnessed police plowing into crowds with their vehicles, causing stampeding

Here's the incident from the closest angle:


Another angle:


Photos of the pile of humans:


According to police: “rioters fell to the ground on Pitt Street near an exit of Yau Mat Tei station”

Like every bit of attempted propaganda and information shaping out of china, it completely lacks any form of subtlety.

Thousands of people tweeted to them every single day about the old motto, so I guess they can say they listened to the people LUL

SkinnyPupp 11-19-2019 06:32 AM

Fascists tried to burn down the Epoch Times (among the media outlets willing to speak out against china - I believe they are run by Falun Gong people)

HK Bar Association responds

Quote:

Under Article 19 of the Basic Law, the HKSAR shall be vested with
independent judicial power, including that of final adjudication. Under Article
85, the courts of the HKSAR shall exercise judicial power independently and
free from interference. Any suggestion that the Courts in Hong Kong cannot
conduct constitutional review circumscribes the exercise of judicial power by
the Courts which they have always enjoyed and is contrary to the Basic Law.

It also undermines the high degree of autonomy granted to the HKSAR under
the Basic Law.

Domestic terrorists. Shoot to kill.

In the "land of the free" you get shot for looking the wrong way or making sudden movement. These clowns expect to "escape" when they hold a landmark hostage and shooting at cops? Delusional.

The protest lost the moment they resort to violence. Easy job for the Chinese government now. You know what the "free men" likes to say: "We don't negotiate with terrorists".
