BrutalistMcDonalds posted:the glorious past also came about because china was gradually opening up and HK was like a sluice gate or front-office lobby for it. while HKers can go "well we're smarter and better and we'd be doing great if it weren't for the evil CCP" but the reality is they just got lucky and were in the right time at the right place Weird that you think HK was the only place who was lucky and in the right time and place during the period of Four Asian Tigers, and that China wasn't the chief beneficiary by becoming the world's manufacturing hub

the comparison of anarchist graffiti to organized groups of reactionary pro-US demonstrators in Hong Kong makes it look like the reactionaries can control the streets while the anarchists are forced to the margins, even within the movement. I don't know if the people waving US and Trump flags reflect the opinions of the average person in the Hong Kong "pro-democracy" movement, but its obvious they are one of the most organized forces within it

The images you see of waves of people carrying US flags was for one of the US themed rallies after the Hong Kong Act was passed so people were more inclined to support America/Trump back then but seeing the impotent pres do nothing further will prolly stem that drip of support for Trump

Also, the US clearly overplayed their hand in HK. I don't get what you think Trump is going to do considering he just burned down the US economy.

i saw some comments elsewhere online saying "well look at the U.S. flags, that's evidence the U.S. are involved..." and i replied at the time: no, you moron, those people are idiots. and actually, if you want to look at U.S. involvement, let me introduce you to the hong kong democracy council, etc.

I think there is a good few decades and even generations before you convert a large factory of a random industry to a completely automatic place. I am also skeptical of Dr. Doom's argument on this. I don't see why companies that have to move out of China would move back to the US. It seems from a profit standpoint better to move to another low labor cost country like Vietnam or Indonesia. Sure you can pour money into automation, but why bother when there are still so many poor around to world to exploit? Plus less pesky profit-loss things like safety regulations that benefit the bottom line in the long term. OhFunny has issued a correction as of 07:03 on May 26, 2020 |

US actually has a trade surplus with HK, not a trade deficit. Have all the Trump economic advisers quit or there is some rear end kissers left that can explain this concept to him? BTW haven't heard anything from that snake oil salesman Peter Navarro in a while.

This was happening prior to the pandemic - there were already other countries that could provide outsourced labor for cheaper than China could.

I'm glad you've stepped up to take Pevin's place as the forum's resident China stan, hopefully you can avoid being extremely racist about non-Han Chinese e: w/r/t the NPC there's not too much news. No GDP announcement this year, they're doing more belt and road / free trade areas to grow western China. Unfortunately China punted and have said that they will not be changing the marriage laws and they'll remain opposite-sex only. quote:But on Monday, Huang Wei, an official with the Legislative Affairs Commission of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, said comments about legalising same-sex marriage had been sent in “an organised act”. I really expected them to make changes about this but it looks like they're resistant to it. Grapplejack has issued a correction as of 07:31 on May 26, 2020 |

The mass of people in the streets aren't reactionary, but they don't really seem left in any meaningful way. Again, I think leadership is important. The Arab Spring protests were fueled by real hardships, but the most organized parts of the protests were religious reactionaries so they ended up gaining the most momentum in the movement. Like, in Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate won the presidency, but the urban liberals who supported the initial uprising were so appalled they ended up supporting another military coup. In Hong Kong this dynamic is complicated by the fact that outside support seems necessary for the protests to achieve any of their demands. The US would be at the forefront of that. If protesters were happy to line up behind US flags before, why wouldn't they do so again?

That's true, in the context of other western nations US's response to HK so far has been the best. There are plenty of calls for the UK to give HK citizens holding BNO full citizenship but they have their own poo poo to deal with, although Patten is shouting the loudest he can about it. EU are always "observing the situation" or giving stern messages that get ignored. Basically only Taiwan is the closest another country can get to supporting the HK democracy movement. HK has a long history of protests before this whole democracy movement started, so while they know what they protest against, I don't think many people have a political ideal outside of the 5 or 6 great demands. The pro democracy camp have always been notorious for infighting and not getting along with each other which has enabled things to get to where they are now
