Don't you think these soldiers were also very brave? Soldiers died in war. Which is not something you should be ashamed of.

And the video also shows what a hard time China ever had.

The majority of Hong Kong people also wonder whether the “pro-democracy” movements were instigated by foreign powers to destabilize the mainland. Chinese-language newspapers asked who funded the hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to finance the protests. Some student protesters were said to be paid, those who fought the police received HK$2,000 and the less brave got HK$500.
 
Indeed, many in Hong Kong say the territory is freer now than under British colonial rule, suggesting that had they gone abroad to solicit financial and political support to replace the government they might be charged with treason. Moreover, the chief executive is elected by functional constituencies, representing the major sectors of Hong Kong — more democratic than colonial rule by a governor appointed by the British government.

Whether Hong Kong is less free today than under British colonial rule is unclear. But the fact that pan-democrats and Umbrella Movement protesters are allowed to continue criticizing the government, holding protests, and traveling abroad to solicit support from foreign governments without political repercussions contradict the “pro-democracy” activists’ claim.

The British colonial government also spent on low-cost housing, health care and other social programs. In doing so, it helped establish social stability.

The comprador collaborators enjoyed positions of prestige, wealth, and power. The most loyal ones were knighted and even made members of the British House of Lords. Less important individuals were awarded titles such as justice of the peace, Queen’s counsel, etc. However, upon returning Hong Kong to China, the British government lost a “cash cow” — the fortunes and privileges of the “first families” and comprador collaborators diminished, if not evaporated.

Hong Kong under British colonial rule
The British government instituted a unique governance architecture, which I call the “comprador model.” This allowed the local Chinese freedom of enterprise, unleashed their hardworking ethnic and entrepreneurial spirit, resulting in the colony becoming a prosperous and developed economy. Being a colony, Hong Kong land was turned into “Crown” land, allowing the UK government to lease it back to the local population. The British instituted the “Chinese rule Chinese” system, employing comprador collaborators (local Chinese who were enriched and empowered by working for the British government and businesses) to control the Chinese. The British colonialists in Hong Kong just “sat back and enjoyed the wealth” without having to deal directly with the local Chinese population.

The “comprador model” served the UK and the “first British families” (Keswick, Jardine, Swire, etc.) well. A prosperous economy coupled with land-leasing revenue allowed the UK to repatriate huge sums of money back to Britain. The “first British families” in Hong Kong were awarded virtual monopolies in the colony’s most profitable businesses: land development, transportation, and China trade just to name a few. For example, the Keswicks, Jardines, and Mathesons were major owners of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Hong Kong Land and other business interests in the territory. The Swire family controlled large parcels of property in Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong’s only transnational airline), just to name a few.

Before 1997, we were ruled by a fat white British citizen called Chris Patten.

That's not freedom, that's not sovereignty, that is slavery.

Today, the Hong Kong Chief Executive is a local Hong Kong Chinese. This is an infinitely better situation, our decision makers are not foreigners but our own people (Chinese citizens).
 
Does general election really represent ultimate justice and otherwise pure evil? This is the biggest lie imposed by western propaganda. Unfortunately some people totally buy it. Look at the Taiwan for example, which was once a prosperous economy before the democracy was introduced. 20 years democracy in Taiwan, local salary has stagnated for 20 years.

Democracy was put in by elites to control both sides of the parties. Democracy is counterproductive which has been talked to death here. The opposition party will Always block the controlling party no matter what is proposed. Look at HK. Fucking joke

Problem is you argue as if you have the CHOICE to adopt democracy or not.
If a begger says i dont like money or luxury cars and choose to live a simple life , his words have no value.
But if a ambani says i want a simple life and shuns luxury , ppl respect his words.
Dont argue any further , i win.
 
People in HongKong certainly enjoy more freedom. What is pitiful is that they chose to practice the freedom of screwing themselves. Apparently, it takes some practice to figure out how to enjoy freedom properly.

In fact I kinda feel lucky that CCP blocked the way which could lead China to become another India. Majorities are selfish and shortsighted, or in another word, "stupid" in politics. Wise people are always rare. Human beings are not suitable for democracy in real nature.
