Hong Kong is battling for its future right now

I know it’s been posted on here but worth bringing up again. Losing battle as they try to fend off mainland China but still they are out there fighting for their rights. The HK police at this point have simply turned into militarized thugs controlled by Beijing.

Sheesh, I'm getting claustrophobic just from looking at those pictures

It's really sad but I think HK is lost.
No one is going to come to their aid and confront China

NYC seemed way more claustrophobic to me than HK

I want Hong Kong to be the thorn that ends Pooh Bear and his communist party

What is China’s reason for taking over?

This isn't a bigger story because people are fighting for freedom against big government and communism.
Which the media in the US wants the opposite to happen.

I think you’re right

What's the basis of the battle right now? HK is basically losing all of its rights they've had in the past and being completely consumed by Chinese laws right?

Totalitarians doing totalitarian things. A little preview for the US when Progs take the reins of government again.

Glad I got to visit a few times a few years ago before Beijing could really starting pressing a thumb down. It was an awesome place - hope it doesn't get too fricked.

We don't need guns because a government would never crush its citizens in the modern times. You are a crazed tinfoil hat wearing idiot to think such things.

Stability.
China would fall apart without strong central rule. The protests in HK threaten that stability, and will encourage others to ignore Beijing, or act out.
Repression also works.

These violent tactics being used in Hong Kong are the same used by the US-backed coup-mongers in Nicaragua and Venezuela, who made giant road barricades (called tranques or guarimbas) and then attacked any cars that tried to pass through

That's some anti-american **** on twitter.
More like the tactics used by BLM and Antifa. But he wouldn't say that.

FOH. Do you comprehend how stupid of a statement this is?
ETA: They didn't try this shite while Obama was president. Wonder why they're doing it now? HK has been independent for decades.

It's like you guys are fricking immune to how inane your thoughts are.

I hate how photos like these taken today are staged. Sorta treated like a makeshift photoshoot instead. "Everyone get back and let the little girl stand facing off against the still human barricade of authority".
Photographer just thinking "Pulitzer" the whole time.
