Bullying people who hold different political agenda is not what democracy. Hong Kong does not have democracy right now and it is not because of the system.

Nobody can beat up another person in public space legally. Criminals should not be tolerated.

A reporter was beaten up in Hong Kong International Airport simply because he voiced his sympathetic position for the hong kong police force.

Support police

Many people will think that protesters are disrupting public and that equals to mob act when we do not know the contextual of the situation.

Those people are not protesters . They are thugs and terrorists.

Hong Kong Protesters, Police Clash at AirportPolice clashed with protesters at Hong Kong’s international airport late Tuesday, capping a second day of snarled travel plans with a bout of violence. America still represents freedom to the outside world..... they don’t want to be controlled by a government with that much authority over people’s lives Will the mainstream press encourage Western governments to invade HK to prevent China from ‘gassing’ its own people? Just asking. If you cannot provide an safe airport for passengers, why not shut down the HK airport permanently? Do the government want more innocent people To be trapped and injured there?

Why Hong Kong is protestingHong Kong is facing a major political crisis as it heads into a 10th week of mass demonstrations. What started as a movement against a controversial law has expanded into something much bigger. Here's what you need to know. Good for them. The US should learn a thing or two Imagine if a successful, prosperous, democratic city-state in Western Europe were being forcibly annexed by a tyrannous neighbour with massive current human rights abuses and genocides already on its charge sheet. I can't help feeling we'd care a bit more. Fake news again, dont confuse china with venezuela, they will eat your proxies..
