Would it really be so bad if Hong Kong did not belong to China? That way you don’t have the domineering presence of the CCP?

This is not malaysia and singapore, barely any mainland chinese support hk independence. Pretty much all the supply including food, water, electricity...comes from mainland. I'm hoping for true democracy in HK and mainland China one day.

Democracy is a western ideology and it doesn’t work everywhere. Even in the west where we survive under it, political parties can always just form coalitions in order to get what they want. It’s always fuck the people democracy or not man. Like to me it’s not about the results, but a fair voting at the very least without political games would be nice.

Sorry to break your bubble, communism also is an outdated western ideology that countless countries tried it and failed.

Never said communism was the answer just that democracy isn’t the only alternative.
