What would you have the us do about this? We are already in a confusing trade war with China. Because of it being a part of china I don't think the west is ready to go to war with China over it.

It's horrible, it's what China will do to anyone they get power over. I want everyone to leave there, I am terrified for all those brave young people. Their only hope is to leave.

It's not a loss to the world. It is a loss to China, and surely it is a loss to HK people but who are Chinese.

You're right. It's not a loss to the world. The world is filled up with kleptocracies, dictatorships(which China is) or just about anything in-between.

It is however a loss to the free democratic world.

I don’t really think there’s such a thing as the free democratic world nowadays.

Keep telling yourself that. You'll know the difference if or when you live under another system :)

[allarm]

I lived under another system, that’s why I’m saying that.
