<<So I suppose you're going to tell us that the Chinese people elected the Maoists/Communists to office?>>
... did i say that? or you are imputing that? either way, your mistake.
<<"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
-Mao Tse-Tung>>
... is that statement wrong?
<<And you should be more concerned with whether, in 50 years, the mainland resembles Hong Kong, or HK resembles Bejing.>>
... am unconcerned, because i belong to a group of folks who believe in voting by wallet and feet, because the otherwise lazier approaches to freedom are all false ways.
<<You don't have US/UK protection anymore in HK.>>
... and you in the usa also do not have the protection of the uk anymore.
<<In fact, all the values you embodied there.. Capitalist freedom.. etc, are a product of WESTERN VALUES, not eastern>>
... freedom of the individual should be of secondary importance to the good of the group. you will learn that truth the hard way.
<<And as you well know, HK was a thorn in the side of Maoist China because it was a "western colony">>
... as you obviously do not know, that it was explicit beijing policy even in mao's time to keep hong kong as a window to the world. you should start to realize that there is simply too much you do not know, especially re what you talk about.
<<And it only exists because the UK, backed by the US, defended it's right to exist.>>
... pure comedy. thank you.
by the way, the usa exists only because the uk defends its right to exist - does that sentence sound stupid? well, it is, and all variations of same. |
