          “If we don’t have the courage to escalate our resistance, we will lose faith” Though there are clearly two types of protesters - peaceful and hardcore - there appears to be an understanding between them Because ultimately they share the same goalshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/1diisEsIvY/hong-kong-protests …

          If u dont know about china and hongkong,its ok, but if u know history a little bit, u should understand hk is a part of china, sending troops is china's political rights,hk garrison is only for hk defense, so dont use the word “interfereing”,its not appropriate

          Yeah okay... first you say Hong Kong's government can handle it now you say it's China's right to INTERFERE with the situation by sending troops. I'll use any word i like, and interfere is entirely appropriate here since HK can handle it after all, right?

          Maybe i didnt make it clearly, china sent troops to hk 22 years ago, in 1997 hk came back to china so china sent troops to hk, and hk's garrison is ONLY for hk's defense, NOT for public security, so garrison wont help hk government to handle what happening in hk, clear?
