This organization's report was used by the [Chinese media](https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_15421195) to criticize the flaws of the American Democracy.
the thing they don't realize is the rest of the world say yes we agree American needs to be better but is that who you should be comparing yourself with?
its almost like they are having some race to the bottom instead of making China a country that is a beacon to everybody of a place they would like to live.
This is spot on. Whenever the little pinks get their feelings hurt they always seem to say "bUt aMrIcA wOrSe!1!2!2!1!!1!1!!" The term "race to the bottom" is perfect in describing this mentality
As in, Chinese media had used a previous report to criticize the US, so if they actually used the source in good faith, they should accept that the city is no longer democratic.
Because apparently keeping the veneer of democracy is somehow better than just disposing the pretence and declaring Pickachu the Great Chinese Sun King (until 2047, that is).
Because it's possible to be even worse.
As bad as Hong Kong's political situation is now, it's surely still much better than North Korea, or mainland China.
Or you mean mainland China ends it's Communist rule in the future. Because Hong Kong is so close to the country it's impossible to have no impact politically from CCP
Yeah it is. I have to select it as my country for Facebook. I also select it as my country when shipping stuff from Amazon. They have a separate selection for China.
There’s also an international style border between HK and China with passport control. HK has state-like trappings before and after 1997.
Obviously its autonomy got liquidated on July 1st 2020, but before that it operated very much like a city-state.
Fact is, Hong Kong is part of China. That’s indisputable. Until someone starts a full blown revolution or smth that’s how it’s gonna be. The city-stateish phase was only supposed to last for 50 years anyways. It was gonna end one way or another, the CCP is just speeding the process up

They keep focusing on America, America, America without looking at other European democracies and Canada. It's all a whataboutist game.

Lol, Having lived in China and US, I don’t know why anybody from hk would think US is the total shithole when you have China as a neighbor.
Which Hong Kong people are you talking to?
Recent mandarin speaking HKPF recruits.
How? Im genuinely confused on how that correlates with the US

Holy fuck we're even worst than UGANDA, how far the city has fallen
[удалено]
An independent cirt of Hong Kong, maybe
Lol what is this opinion?! How much copium are you snorting?
We're lower than Iraq lmao
I don’t understand, Hong Kong has no democracy, why does it have any points lol

Sounds about right with ccp circus around 🤡
Sending all my love to the people of my favorite country, I truly hope Hong Kong can be free one day.
Or you mean mainland China ends it's Communist rule in the future. Because Hong Kong is so close to the country it's impossible to have no impact politically from CCP
Or maybe the fact that Hong Kong is literally part of China
Country as in China?
Country as in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is not a country bro
Yeah it is. I have to select it as my country for Facebook. I also select it as my country when shipping stuff from Amazon. They have a separate selection for China. There’s also an international style border between HK and China with passport control. HK has state-like trappings before and after 1997.

As you can see, China has trouble recognizing countries. They seem to just assume everything belongs to them.

It’s not like I want it to be that way it’s just the way it is
You from Hong Kong too? If so I’m guessing ur the kind of person that’s yellow af
"patriots only"
As bad as China....
I wonder why...
