    1. Hong Kong never had a single election under 148 years of British Colonial rule until China gave them elections after the 1997 handover. Western media seems having no problem with Hong Kong back then under colonization but now they are concerned with the “freedom” of HK? Just when you wonder how hypocrite and double standard can people get…

    2. Resignation en mass? Great and BYE BYE to those CIA/MI6-funded so-called “lawmakers” that only brought riots and turmoil to HK!

    1. @Zachorazor1 during election all Americans from all part of society argue and fight but after the election it is time to lick up the wounds and be united again. There are other countries out there which are gladly waiting to tumble down the US in all whatever reasons possible..

  1. who in their right mind would support a resolution allowing removing elected officials without process? Obviously they don’t represent hong kong

    1. Ikr? Like the Democrats repeating CCP propaganda when they deliberately let the virus spread. Democrats are running things. There goes our national sovereignty.

    2. @Ozark Yeoman The democrats try to contain the virus Trump lets it run wild. Trump found the concentration camps in China a good idea. All Trump goods he sell an decorate his hotels and resorts with are made in `china. Trump is doing business in China and has a bank account with a Chinees bank inside China. Trump got Ivanka 5 trade licenses in return Trump lifted sanctions. You are dumb as hell. `trump is president and the republicans have the `senate. McConnell refuse to vote on any bill that comes from the house. And you blame the democrats. What a moron you are

    3. Obviously some ridiculous new human species were created in Asia with western political agenda after colonial time…..

    1. @Arithia East Germany was socialist, they unified with West-Germany and now have a republican form of government. Poland was socialist under the soviet’s bloc, they now have a republican government. When the entire USSR shattered like glass, Russia and Ukraine, both have republican forms of governments. Sure Putin is essentially dictator of Russia, but Russia is still a democracy. There’s still elections in Russia, despite the corrupt system.
      Fun Fact: The Australian Labour Party, is a Democratic Socialist Party, within Australia, and they controlled majority of seats in Australia for a VERY long time, today they hold a lot of seats still. Oh, and Australia is another democracy.
      By the way, nothing about your statement about socialism was true, and it’s highly opinionated. You’re entitled to your beliefs, but please have some knowledge about the subject you’re speaking about.

    4. Trump said he was going to do anything he could against China, and then… he gifted Hong Kong to China without lifting a finger…

  3. “This council is so full of fakeness, so full of false sincerity, fake sincerity.
    Me: So… America then.

    1. @Heisenberg Collins Don’t you threaten me. You dont have no clue what I know or how I know.Who I am or where I have been You might want to watch Operation 🔨 .Keep Threatening me and it will be operation Eagle eyes at the front door

    2. Too many chinese bots here, im so glad that democratic countries dont need to use vpn to comment here on yt hehee

    3. @Wildman’s Journey there is a problem auditing some of the electronic machines that have No paper trail. They are used in 17 states.
      I do not know how this will end.
      I do know it has the capacity right now to create a rift that could bring the country down. Each side making strong comments that ought go unsaid.
      You stated the election process well.

  4. Food for Thought

    If a Dead Person passed away prior to the year 2016, how did he/she know who was on the Ballot and who to vote for?

    Do they get Fox News, CNN and MSNBC in Heaven and Hell? And how much is their Cable Bill?

    1. Yes, it is call fortune tellers and yes, they have Fox News, CNN, and MSMBC. cable in heaven is free provided by GOD. The only news they get in hell is Fox News and you can only vote for the devil’s spawn. Trump because grabbing is allowed in hell.

    1. @IJJusion
      Well I expect you to be spewing fabricated lies and you being a stage playing phony because you’re a beast system slave controlled by demons, silly…
      You’re brimstone casket bait.

  5. The Hong Kong Senator asked the United States to impose sanctions on Hong Kong. The real story happened last year. More sci-fi than fiction

  6. Name one US senator or house member that openly denounces the ideal of USA and actively plots with foreign governments to topple the US federal government but gets to keep his or her seat.

  7. It would seem to me, that if companies that have a branch in Hong Kong started to openly make plans in moving from Hong Kong, it would change China’s desires to control it so completely.

  8. How can uk govt criticize any govt for breaking treaty when uk govt has done the same with EU on N Ireland agreement.
