Huh, is that why the people of Hong Kong seemed so happy in that last bout of protests? You know, when over 1 million people took to the streets, protested and set the city on fire? Also, and just out of interest, is your government still using "prisoner's of conscience" as an organ donor pool or have they finally shut down their concentration camps?

They also set people on fire. The protests were started because they opposed an extradition bill designed to address a loophole that just allowed a man in HK to murder his pregnant wife and flee to Taiwan and avoid criminal prosecution; you shouldn't support the HK protests.

Glad we're taking the claims of religious zealots as established fact

Don't try to equate a bill that allows someone to make a choice to decrease prison time, with a concentration camp where they harvest organs and hair, and "reeducate" people to believe China #1. One is dumb, the other is evil.

I get worried sometimes about my country's (Australia) invasive online privacy laws. China doesn't allow proper internet access, and if you think you have nothing to worry about, just Baidu-search "Tiananmen Square 1989" or "why did the Dalai Lama leave Taiwan". I'm sure you'll be fine...

"Tiananmen Square 1989"

read up

"why did the Dalai Lama leave Taiwan"

That's easy, the CPC and Tibetan masses didn't let him keep the theocracy that allowed slaves/serfs to be tortured by the feudal lordship and women to be barred from education.
