        He should fix his country first. There’s no democracy there either. That’s why you could see his tendency to appease Beijing

        Lee and his father has got one thing critically wrong - Beijing doesn’t really want a genuine two systems, rather a capitalism system that under their total control pretending to be autonomous.

        He is so naive that still believes the CCP would treasure one country two systems? If China has a reputation of keeping their promise, follow the rule of the game, respect their own population, to be more civilised and humane, I dun think people would want to overthrow the govt!

        If the CCP is behind and grateful for Lee’s remarks, then you know his comments exist only to meet the CCP’s approval.

        These are not uncomfortable truths. Hard truths are a much better words to narrate.
