hong kong starts to blow...
- Thread starter argh!
- Start date
tourist said:The Soviet Union imploded after 72 years. Communist China began 70 years ago. It about time. BOOM!
Sit down, argh! I totally agree with you on Fox's non-reporting of this. Pathetic.
the 'great firewall' has kept the real news out of the hands of mainland chinese for years, but kids these days are pretty savvy in getting around it, although they still have to resort to cryptic messages to say a lot of stuff online. one young woman i know in the mainland, who sells plastic surgery procedures for a living (of all things), posted a picture of bricks with the caption 'it is getting hot today' on wechat (the mainland's facebook, which is blocked in china). it is going to be very hard for the commies to keep this from the even average mainlanders, especially given that shenzen is literally within spitting distance of hong kong now. going to be interesting to see what happens.

The HK legislature building and the protests are in the Admiralty section of Central, in Hong Kong. Our firm's offices are in that area. Our people have been able to see the protests below and are having to deal with all that. The office is open and work goes on. Our office hosted representatives of the London Stock Exchange yesterday.

it was fox business, not news, was not much of an article, if you could even call it that, and the video was already taken down.
according to what i've read, businesses generally oppose the extradition law, but the bigger the business, the more silent they stay. i guess they just want the 'little guys' to do the work, while they play both sides of the fence.
was talking to someone originally from china the other day, who was impressed by the protests. said 'hong kongers usually only care about money', or something like that. i'm sure your firm fits that bill, eh, greenie...

So, you think that Fox Business isn't part of Fox? That's pretty funny.

your ability to read is pretty dismal, greenie. i said i looked at the fox news website and didn't see a single article. didn't say that they might put something up; in fact i hope they do. in response, you posted a deleted video with a non-article from fox business as your 'proof' that fox news was covering the issue.
i can't imagine that many of your colleagues in hong kong are real thrilled about the extradition law, or the way things are going. whether they would tell you that over the phone or in an email, i am not so sure, because their communications are likely to be monitored, and the ccp's main tactic for keeping power is a scared, which includes even big businesses, which can be wiped out at the whim of the mainland. that's why people are protesting. i imagine the law is a relevant issue to your firm, as businesses are expected to leave hong kong once their judicial system is corrupted by beijing.
anyway, it is good you have others in your office who can do your research for you, as your ability seems to be at about a 4th grade level.

jeezus, greenie, i'm just telling you what happened when i clicked the link. this morning an opening shot of cops in riot gear appeared, followed by a 'this video has been deleted' message. now i get the opening shot, followed by a blank screen. however i searched out the video on a different browser, and watched it. like i said, the little bit of writing beneath the video was barely an 'article', if at all, but the video was actually much more in depth, and in my opinion the speakers were very to the point and accurate a lot of the time, especially about dictator xi, or mao ii, as he seems to want to be.

ha ha, i'm using a lenovo, so maybe that is the problem.
the chief news editor of the south china morning post does a good job in describing one of the biggest issues, beyond the extradition law, that is driving the unrest in hong kong, which is an ugly housing crisis. his analysis is pretty brutal, and includes lines like 'why not just lay us out in rows of coffins that we can sleep, then die in...'. given the owner of the paper is jack 'the commie' ma, one has to wonder how long he'll last. wish we had more journalists like him.

oh, i don't think so. he's very pro-capitalist and pro-democracy. this guy is walking a tightrope, so you've got to read between the lines. slamming the hong kong government is really slamming beijing. plus, what he's not saying is where the money is coming from that is driving the huge housing problem there, and who's buying stuff up - it is the newly rich communists, purchasing themselves the rights that you and i have, if even just temporarily.
i'm curious, have you ever derided the rich californians who come to montana to live part time, buy up the land (raising prices), driving out the locals, who maybe don't want to see another mcmansion screwing up the scenery? there is a place on georgetown lake that comes to mind. it used to be owned by someone with ties to the tobacco industry, is very visible, and also very gaudy, mucking up one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Every chance I get. I can't look at a Kalifornicator license plate without spitting. Look what has happened to Missoula, then spreading down the Bitterroot. Hell, the infestation has spread from Darby to Glacier Park. Bozeman is going the same way.
