Unrest in Hongkong

HongKong was a thriving business center until the treaty expired and it was handed over to China with the condition that they would remain independant to a certain extent...But practically speaking how long will this go on given the fact that China grabs even what is not theirs...The only problem is that HongKong Chinese were used to better adminstration and lifestyle under the British rule and are not ready to become part of mainland China,,

True to its national symbol, The Dragon, Chinese always wait for an opportunity to grab any piece of land that's not theirs. This trend is visible in every aspect of theirs. For the same reason, I never believed Chinese government after the violation of Panchsheel pact that led to Indo-Chinese war decades ago. Coming to the point, unrest in Hongkong, I never was astonished considering the inherent trait of Chinese government.

Hongkong is ex British colony that was transferred to China. Now Hongkong is part of China. so far, China follows the policy of 'One cuntry two systems'. Apparently, China now wishes to modify this policy by curtailing some autonomy of the region. Some prtests are reported.

Election will be held in 2016 and China wants only their representative in political contest and it is perceived that it is invigilating HongKong unrest with some smart phone apps.

Elections in China are a sham. I believe only one candidate chosen by the government ( communist party) is allowed to stand and voters are expected to vote for him/her. Can it get any more bizarre. It is time the world supported democratic movements in Hong Kong and into China. Hong Kong is not grabbed by China as it was illegally occupied by UK and rightly handed over back. The Chinese are going to crush the pro democratic movement and the world will look the other side for the sake of cheap Chinese products esp the USA which has enabled China to become a strong economic power by transferring its labor intensive manufacturing industries to China.

The unrest in Hong Kong is very deep. The immediate issue is of election of Chief executive of Ho Kong. The Cinese authorities insist on only two or thre candiates to be screened by a committee loyal to Chinese administration. The Hon Kon potesters consider this as fake democracy.

Yes. Elections in Hongkong is the immediate issue to be addressed. But the way in which Chinese authorities are selecting the candidates, is a sham. It's an eyewash democracy which the Chinese wanted to show the world that they are true champions of democracy.

Chines are taking every precaution to avoid what happened in Hongkong is not repeated in mainland. Reminds me of Tiananmen Square protests that took place about 25 years before.

Who can forget Tianamen square protests, that rocked China? Of course, they take all the precautions such protests are not recurred in the Chinse mainland. If I'm not mistaken Tianamen protests took place during Mao's regime.

Historians say that the facts about number of people massacred during the protests was hidden behind the iron curtain. The number of massacred were any number between a few hundred to few thousands. I too am not sure about under whose regime this massacre took place.

of course i have gone through t his article. The important part is Tienanmen protests exposed the internal differences i the Chinese Leadership.

It is internal matter of China and India should not interfere it like Tibet in the past. :whistle: :whistle:

India did not interfere in Chinese internal matters. Like any other country, India has been discussing and commenting on the possible outcome in the Hongkong unrest. Nothing more.

There is no harm in discussing as our interests are involved too. Yesterday it was Tibet tomorrow it could be Arunachal Pradesh besides thousands of kilometers of land that is already either in China's control or disputed. As long we do not interfere physically there is no harm.

India did not interfere in Chinese internal matters. Like any other country, India has been discussing and commenting on the possible outcome in the Hongkong unrest. Nothing more.

Any Indian minister or government have not even commented on Hongkong. So there is no interference. Press and media can discuss anything. The comments in press, media, internet including Bodunan, cannot be considered as intrference in another country. affairs.

Exactly. Our discussions here doesn't contribute to interstice..

HongKong is pretty much under control now, but this may be just the beginning, there may be more such unrests to follow as and when China decides to impose its own brand of democracy on them..

Yes, the ultimate aim of China is to impose its own brand of democracy. But China is very cautious about seeing that the Tienanmen unrest spreading in its mainland China.
