Russell17au Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Unfortunately the protesters are playing right it the Chinese governments hands. Think about what happened here in Thailand 6 years ago with the violence between the red shirts and the yellow shirts, well, it is the same thing in Hong Kong with the violence and it does not matter what anybody says Hong Kong is part of China. China have the army just across the river ready to go into Hong Kong and if this violence keeps going and these protesters keep ignoring the Hong Kong police directions then I think that there will be no choice but for China to send in the army to stop the violence the same as what happened here with the military coup which as far as I am concerned is still in force now. These violent protests are destroying Hong Kong as a financial hub and China cannot allow this violence to continue but the protesters cannot see this because they are being led by these activists that really do not care. Sorry, but I believe that China will have to go in and do whatever they need to do to stop this stupid violence. You can protest without violence.

chainarong Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 One couldn't give a toss what the communist Party of China say's, just because it doesn't suit them, big fuss on down in Oz with The Chinese also, one thing for sure if their people ever get a taste of freedom they'll all hang from the nearest light poles, that's why they are so repressive.

Card Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Actually, Wong has clearly stated many times that he is not working for HK`s independence from China, only for true democracy in HK. The ref to independence is just propaganda on the part of Chinese politicians and their Thai acolytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The violence stems from frustration that the police and mafia violence on oeaceful protests and the HK authorite's completely lack of concern for the will of the people. How else are the democracy movement really going to get noticed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter2186 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I find it strange how ill informed many are on the issue of Hong Kong. These are not protests but are riots with police being bombarded with Molotov Cocktails, entire communities being threatened and prevented from taking transport, police family members being singled out and threatened, an economic crash, the airport being shut down temporarily, investors are taking their money elsewhere and the tourist industry has dried up along with substantial property damage, but the good news is no deaths so far- yes Wong really is someone who politicians should be talking to https://criticalspectator.com/china/joshua-wrong-the-butcher-of-hong-kong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4pktbgDbT0 The only politicians who should see this twerp are people like Nancy Pelosi who helped fund these riots through congress and the National Endowment for Democracy, (as reported by Rick Sanchez and Michelle Greenstein) they funded the Hong Kong Human rights front - the organisers of these riots. Pelosi and her cronies are even pushing through the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Bill, a direct insult to the Chinese people. I know we all hate the Chinese, a cursory look at some of the comments says it all, but how about sprinkling the hatred with a few facts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expat Tom Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Let's face it. The election in Thailand was a total farce. Before the election, Thailand had an unelected military government. Nothing has changed. The Military changed to constitution to it could remain in power. Further, the "Military" clowns who runs Thailand would love to emulate their Chinese commie buddies and squelch freedom of expression. Thailand is on a downward spiral and, even though I have spent many pleasurable years here, I won't be hanging around to see the final fall.

TKDfella Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 To those comments who say China should respect other opinions, are right of course but...have got it round the wrong way. I won't repeat what I said on other 'about China' threads and moreover I can't tell the whole tale of what happened to me when I was I there because, frankly I don't think anyone here would believe me. I find it hard to believe myself now. The Chinese regime thinks that everyone else SHOULD think like them. I will say this, sitting in front of a Chinese panel of hard line communists is not a pleasant experience. One of them, educated in England and spoke good English made it clear what they thought of 'dead democracy'. If the time comes when it seems China will have Chinese politicians in the Thai government, I will leave. Maybe the only reason that hasn't happened yet is because Thais love to boast that they are the only country in the region that has never been colonised.

Sir Dude Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Usual Nazi stuff from Beijing who can't deal with the slightest negative comment. With any luck, the Thais will continue to say such stuff and "relations" will worsen, as who in their right minds want to be friends with the Borg?

wisperone Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 China controls Thailand, not in the least of which is through tourism. China can shut the tourist spigot off anytime they want and just deny any from visiting there. What would Thailand do then. China wants to control the world and are doing their best to accomplish that through Belt and Roads. I feel sorry for the people of HK. The ending is inevitable. How long be Joshua Wong disappears?
