Hong Kong's Carrie Lam to Formally Withdraw Extradition Bill
- Thread starter Kalnet
- Start date
Good for Hong Kong. This is fantastic news.
It's been a long hard fight for pro-democracy protesters. Good for them for not giving up, despite the incredible uphill battle.

Congratulations to all of the protestors in Hong Kong. I hope the leaders there realize that no matter what the government in China wants, none of it really matters if your entire population refuses.
Fighting for what's right makes a difference. Take note fellow Americans and all the defeatists in this forum.
That feeling when you realize protesting in China is getting more results than protesting in the USA
I was told that people should stop fighting for what they believe in, why would people say such a thing?
I wish I could be positive like you lot but it's inevitable. The whole of China needs to change for the better, not a city that will be assimilated into the rest of the country in our lifetimes.
You lot really think China is just going to let things slide? I don't trust the government, I am wary of such news.

What protests in the USA?
2047 integration date still stands. That's the deal. Making Hong Kong submit by force would be breaking that deal. Long term that would hurt China, since respecting deals is extremely important in world of economics. China will push boundaries and see how much they can get away with, this is a place where they couldn't.
My personal guess is, they hoped that protests would wind down once schools started again 1st of September, but protests didn't stop. So here we are. But as I said, 2047 integration date still stands and these protests will not change that.
maybe they can wait?
i mean HK still will be merge completely with china on 2047.
Hong Kong is not China.That feeling when you realize protesting in China is getting more results than protesting in the USA
Mass protest gets harder and harder to do the larger your country gets. The reason you can get success in Puerto Rico and Hong Kong is primarily the lack of landmass because it allows for a much larger proportion of the population to have access to the protests.
Yes, it quite literally is. Hong Kong is still a sphere of influence, but it's still china. It's spelled out in the "one country, two systems" designation.
Or course not, and HK is on borrowed time anyway ever since Thatcher sold them out to China.
This is a great victory for all the people in HK right now, but sadly China is playing the long game, so I understand your uneasiness.
This is fantastic in that they've won the battle, but they certainly haven't won outright freedom yet. Even so, protest WORKS. Perhaps that could be a lesson for all the lazy fat asses who think otherwise.
Except when Americans protest they do it "peacefully".That feeling when you realize protesting in China is getting more results than protesting in the USA
Hong Kongers knew how to throw some shit at their leaders.
This is only one of the demands, the fight is far from over.
Protests work, but the work is not yet done.
