I hope there is minimum voting interference in pro yellow and pro blue districts. I don't want to hear any of the dumb conspiracy afterward.

The power play is to not send any police out what so ever so that way they can't possibly get blamed for election interference (they'll still get blamed)

If the US has taught you anything they're going to push a conspiracy theory even if there is provably zero interference.

No that's too far fetched, obviously the CPC is using luxury pillows and the elderly to undermine democracy in Hong Kong

Old people have a pretty reliable track record of voting for horrible reactionaries without much help. But the DAB bribing reactionary olds with Maxim banquets is pretty well documented. A pillow would be new and oddly specific.

The text, by the way, says
"Hey grandma, where'd you get that gift?"
"We bought it ourselves!"
"The shop isn't even open, and you two both bought the same thing?"

If this is where HK politicbis going for the next few years, I can see HK posts taking over the conversations of the China threads. Maybe we should consider having a separated HK thread.

A reporter comes up to an old woman and asks her who she's voting for, she doesn't answer because who the gently caress tells a reporter with a camera who they are voting for when there are political riots in the streets, and from this you conclude what? That she shouldn't be able to vote? That there is a grand conspiracy to intimidate elderly people to shift the vote in any meaningful way? Are you retarded?

Even if you were Team Red, voting DAB makes no sense as they have done nothing to bring stability to HK in the last 6 months. Regina Ip’s prodigy brings nothing but further corruption to the table.

Ah, surely just an internal matter. Please express no interest.

"China's UK ambassador dismissed the documents as fake news."

Funny how China and China sympathizers all seem to pull their tactics from the well as right-wing Republicans. I'm sure Peven Stan will be along any minute now with a photograph of a bruise on a HK police officer's arm while conveniently making no mention of HK police stomping on people's heads.

Including Hong Kong, although the lower class class usually hires Indonesian maids, while the upper middle class hires Filipinas. The Indonesian maid agencies for whatever reason have Cantonese language training, whereas the Filipinas speak English and don't learn Cantonese.

But the quote stan is laughing at there just says "some" had Filipina maids, which he decided means "most" or "all" for some reason.

The pro Beijing parties all got absolutely annihilated in the district council elections though. Not just the DAB. With 71% turnout it's clear the riots haven't soured people on the pro democracy camp. Turnout has never been even close to this high and the pro democrats have never done even close to this well.

The one great tragedy of the election is that revolutionary Marxist Long Hair Leung Kwok-hung failed to unseat DAB party chairman Starry Lee.
