good that there's a thread about this. i think things will only get worse in the short term. bj's hope is to wait it out until at least september when school starts up, as most of the protesters are high school and college aged.

another funny sub-story from the other day is that a local newspaper doxed a US diplomat. lol.

Ex-envoy ‘appalled’ that pro-Beijing paper leaked details on US diplomat

edit: so as not to doublepost

chinese state media now calling for boycotts of hk firms. bj is really doubling down on the "violent, radical extremist separatist" rhetoric to paint all protesters in a broad brush so they can deal with them in the only way they know how: through violent, uncompromising oppression.

Companies are getting caught in the cross-fire of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy unrest, with Chinese state-run media inciting boycott campaigns against firms seen to be backing the protesters. Hong Kong’s flagship air, Cathay Pacific, has become one of the highest-profile targets, while a Taiwanese...

Basically, the Hongkongers (lol) don't want to be part of the glorious PRC.
Hong Kong still enjoys basic human rights like due process, fREEEEdom of the press and no censorship that are certainly not a thing in any great socialist nation like China, but Beijing is trying to take away their status as "special administrative region" and make them suffer like the rest of the Chicoms.

How can any supposedly civilized people surrender their fellow man to the depredations of the Chicoms remains a mystery.

British subjects aren't people, especially British Chinese subjects.

Because China has never done things like that? Did Rhodesia just magically decide it'd be Zimbabwe and throw its economy down the shitter?
