Why so many Chinese students can’t understand the Hong Kong protests
I have lived in the UK for over 20 years since I was 8, and I have to say I don&#x27;t understand the Hong Kong riots.<p>For starters, does any of you even know how it all started? The extradition bill? To do what? To extradite a Hong Kong teen that killed his pregnant girlfriend in Taiwan so he can be prosecuted there, at the request of Taiwan! I don&#x27;t ever see that mentioned anywhere.<p>Let me say, this video absolutely riled me (even more so than the ones I’ve seen of the rioters getting violent):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;videos-a.jwpsrv.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;conversions&#x2F;KWwwg9Oc&#x2F;videos&#x2F;JGCtT6gS-29576809.mp4?hdnts=exp=1566469029~acl=*&#x2F;JGCtT6gS-29576809.mp4~hmac=365c430c6493822175fc7d570b1f7d4b4b81af913bdd9f9fa836fd768945a8b0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;videos-a.jwpsrv.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;conversions&#x2F;KWwwg9Oc&#x2F;vid...</a><p>Sure, these guys are “peaceful” as in they didn’t hurt anyone, but watch and observe their actions:<p>1. The guys postures are incredibly aggressive for starters, for me, I would not call that peaceful at all.<p>2. Once someone took action to stop them, they held their hands up to make it look like they didn’t do anything wrong<p>3. They have friends specifically to capture the moment when they look like they were provoked<p>Now taking all of these points into consideration, this is an intentional provocation to have someone take action against them and make themselves look like the good guys. Here is my question to you all, what would you have done in those situations? Forcefully make them stop? Then that makes you the bad guy, and could potentially have you beaten up (let’s look at the number of thugs they have behind them). Call the police? Then the police will look like the bad guys, which is probably their intention anyways. So personally, I do not buy the “protests” being peaceful at all, maybe it was at the start, but there are a lot more violence from these “protesters” that are not being reported.
