The volunteer mods here have no interest in bending the knee to the PRC government. Unlike many we have no economic interest which the communist party can leverage against us.
Steer clear of US red/blue partisan politics is all we ask.
But from my informed perspective, the PRC government simply cannot allow HK to spin out of control... that fire could spread and has the potential to be a very literal existential threat to the PRC regime. Keep that in mind if you're there, they don't want to appear draconian in the eyes of the global community but I'm almost certain they will if that's what it takes.
