        Every HKger is suspicious. Their SERVILE SPIRIT makes them suspicious. The thirst to please any shadow of their COLONIZERS, It's what make them ridiculous even when they travel.

        @globaltimesnews @XHNews @PDChina @ChinaDaily This is what China should not do. If China wants the trust of the rest of the world, China laws must be transparent and explain publicly the process of the laws. Now HKers have every reason to demostrate for fear of the Chinese laws.
