LMAO imagine the manufactured outrage in US government "NewsGuard"-approved media if this happened in China and not the US:

China something something black mirror something.

Ms. Hong examined attitudes toward mainlanders with a series of implicit association tests, which use rapid-fire word association prompts to measure subconscious prejudices.

“We found that implicit bias is very strong — even stronger than white prejudice against African-Americans,” she said.

Just go to lihkg and search for new threads with "支那" in the title everyday. Its all there.

I actually don't want to raise a stink on this part, because only the "less educated" HKers say it out loud, the middle class only dog-whistle it. I feel beating on it only focus on the already oppressed lower class and let the xenophobic middle class off the hook.

fascist cult's newspaper is fine apparently



i tried reading one of these the other day and it wasnt even a newspaper just a book that had been reproduced in newspaper format they started off by talking about how marx was a satanist and about how communists murder people for the fun of it to please their dark god satan then it started talking about how jesus was in china first in prehistory and taught people magic powers and how the communists are repressing this information and how we can have magic powers too

is that what they actually believe because it seemed like every time i got to a new section i was thinking to myself i must not be interpreting this correctly

Between this and the last article, I may have to change my previous assessment that the Hong Kong independence radicals are just a fringe minority.



edit:



If a significant portion of the population becomes radicalized, at some point things may actually go from "pro-democracy protestors with a few violent extremists" to "separatist guerrilla forces."

Let's game out a worst-case scenario:

~30,000 separatists takes over government offices, mass transit stations, and the airport. Two decades of pent-up frustration against Mainlanders explodes in a weekend of violence. Mandarin speakers make a mad scramble for Lok Ma Chau.

HK police is outnumbered and unable to respond. Carrie calls for help, the People's Armed Police marches in. The PAP manages to take back the city after a week of block-by-block urban combat. Despite the PAP making a half-hearted effort to use non-lethal methods, a few hundred separatist fighters are killed in the fighting, along with a few dozen government troops. ~5,000 fighters are arrested, the rest escape. The PRC sets up an occupation that makes Xinjiang look like child's play.

The fighting is carried live on cable news around the world. The US sanctions the PRC, increasing tariffs to 100% and severely restricts access to dollar-denominated financial transactions. Both sides recall their diplomats and all commercial flights between the countries stop. A severe recession hits the globe, exacerbated by a sudden shortage of manufactured goods.

Unemployment in the US jumps to 10%. Unemployment in China jumps to 20%. Xi's political rivals begin stirring. Seeking to regain control, and with nothing to lose, Xi orders an invasion of Taiwan. Trump jumps on the opportunity to divert attention from his impeachment and sends in American forces. US submarines quickly sink the Liaoning and the Type 001A. In response, PLA cruise missiles sink the Ronald Reagan.

Soon, Minutemans and DF-41s start flying and we are all freed from our mortal coils.

ok Hong Kong independence weirds are bad but writing Tom Clancy fanfiction about China is not therefore good

It's hard to imagine any Hong Konger attempting to resist deadly force, even if the PAP was sent in. Nobody actually wants a war, no matter how appealing independence might sound in the abstract.

The most ridiculous part of that post is the idea that anyone would ever use the border crossing at Lok Ma Chau.


Really it's just another hilarious example of someone posting a lot about Hong Kong without ever having been there.

I wouldn't call HK protesters' violence is "escalating" though. I would call their physical actions "passive aggressive non critical" violence.

the "CIA elements" will be resisting (ineffectively) sadly some casualties are inevitable when the people's armed police moves in the suppress them. The protesters brought it on themselves when they keep breaking the law, disrespect their police and only understand violence as the solution to problems

I stumbled into cheapo tickets for Shen Yun a couple years ago and it varies between pretty neat Chinese history / traditional myth stuff, really hamhanded, and really weird.

Here you'd think with the outpouring of love and support for the police from the Hong Kong people he wouldn't have this problem. So weird that he'd feel safer in China. I wonder why that is.

Afaik from my conversations with muslims, doing haram stuff doesn't count against you in the eyes of God if you're genuinely fooled into it or forced to through serious enough threats, so even if people were threatened with consequences in some instances, it's more like a test of faith, enabling less devout muslims to rise higher in society because the more devout will be willing to take more social suffering for their faith.

So basically effective pressuring policy wouldn't be like "drink this and deal with the guilt for the rest of your life or get thrown into a dark hole for who knows how long" or whatever, much more like "come drink with me and we'll discuss your promotion".
