when was the last time China invaded another country and killed hundreds of thousands?
I really not interested in arguing good vs. evil, China VS US, but your blindness is just amazing!
Though the Chinese are everyday provoking Taiwan like crazy nowadays and does a hell lot of economic coercion to other countries
They also had some recent borders disputes with India which did end up with deaths
I'm sure that Hong Kongers see it that way ahahaha.
They then suppressed any autonomy in Hong Kong for decades, installing a ruthless puppet government.
Oh really? The two systems where a CCP chill was placed at the top of the power and where protests were violently repressed?
Talk about being "freed" of colonial rule.
Without the will of Hong Kong citizens. That's the reverse of freedom.
> Hong Kong still has a democracy
It's not. The CCP simply dictates what happens in Hong Kong.
> Not hard to grasp.
Hong Kong being under the dictatorial boot of China is indeed not very difficult to grasp.
Without fair elections? I don't think so.
> It is the will of Hong Kong citizens to be free from British imperialism.
As decided where?
Show me the referendum voting results then?
So it isn't a democracy.
