@MarkYeung1 The 2019 Hong Kong riots had been ongoing for more than a year, before the mainland finally took action, and since then, peace has been resorted to Hong Kong. Would you have preferred the 2019 HK riots to last forever instead of being put to a stop?

@yl128pang3 Agreed. Meng Wanzhou did not break any Canadian laws while in Canada, yet she was unlawfully detained by the Canadian border authorities. Her rights were violated, she was not allowed by the authorities to contact her lawyer for advice, before complying with the Canadian demands. Her laptop, smartphone and electronic devices were forcibly unlocked and the contents searched by the Canadians, in violation of Canadian privacy laws. Worst thing was that the Canadians couldn't even describe what crime Meng had allegedly committed, it took them more than a year to fabricate a crime they could accuse her of.

Especially when Huawei is a leader of 5G technology and infrastructure, and that 5G could possibly form the basis of the next tech revolution. Countries that banned Huawei 5G infrastructure could be losing out on the next tech wave that is 5G.

@bellisarius6968 After WWII, Japan had to host U.S military bases in Okinawa (even till today) as part of the terms of the surrender treaty, so Japan can never be allowed to surpass the United States. However, China is free of such obligations and can grow our economy and our military to rival that of the U.S, and perhaps even surpass the U.S someday in the foreseeable future.

@MarkYeung1 "I agree with you. China really shouldn't blacklist the US companies in China." That's a hypothetical scenario that hasn't happened, unlike the U.S blacklisting a bunch of Chinese companies. So when you agreed, does that mean you agree the U.S shouldn't do that to Chinese companies?

@MarkYeung1 "China has cost the riots in Hong Kong by imposing the extradition agreement." The Hong Kong Extradition Bill (now since scrapped) was initially proposed because a Hong Kong man (named Chan) had strangled his pregnant girlfriend (named Poon) to death in Taiwan, and flew back to Hong Kong, leaving her body for the Taiwan authorities to discover. Taiwan wanted to extradite this Hong Kong murderer to face justice, but Hong Kong realized that they don't have an existing extradition treaty. Chan has since confessed, but since the crime occurred outside of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong courts are powerless to convict Chan of murder, that's why the Chief Executive Carrie Lam proposed the Extradition Bill to cover up this legal loophole. So how did mainland China caused the riots in Hong Kong? Now that the Extradition bill has been scrapped, a Hong Kong murderer roams free, and there's no justice for the victim's family.

Since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.S has grown intoxicated on their own power, so much such that they regard no other countries as their peer competitor. But the rise of China challenges this U.S hegemonic mindset, but it's been so long that the U.S has forgotten how to interact with a peer competitor.

Russia's global integration may minimal compared to China's, but Russia supplies essential commodities like gas, oil, wheat and fertilizers, and the West sanctioning Russia has already caused food and fuel prices to increase in their countries.

@MarkYeung1 So literally anyone can be detained in Canada (for nearly 3 years in Meng's case)?

@thequantumalchemist2965 I take it that you had initially wrote a long post, only for YT to shadow-ban it. So you've decided to break up your post into multiple smaller replies, in order to bypass the shadow-ban, and it appears to have been successful?

@taobaoexpert123 One of the 5 demands of the Hong Kong protestors was that all previously arrested rioters be set free and cleared of any criminal charges, even those who looted and burn Hong Kong public property. It's obvious that Hong Kong police aren't going to bow down to such a ridiculous demand.

@MarkYeung1 "神州 Shenzhou Hong Kong government should have scrapped the extradition bill LONG AGO ." The Hong Kong Extradition Bill was indeed scrapped, but the Hong Kong riots still continued even after the bill was cancelled, then what more do the Hong Kong people want? The bill has been scrapped, yet the rioters continued their violence. And because the bill was scrapped, the Hong Kong murderer now roams free, because Hong Kong courts are powerless to convict a crime that occurred overseas in Taiwan, and there's no justice for the victim's family. You said: "There are many ways to solve the political issues regarding extradition. For example, Australia and China (who don't see eye to eye) seek help with each other regarding criminal cases" But Australia and China already have an existing extradition treaty. The Treaty on Extradition Between Australia and the People's Republic of China was signed on 6 September 2007, so how does your example work? However, Hong Kong and Taiwan do not have an extradition treaty (that's the primary reason the extradition bill was proposed) then how to solve the problem of extradition without a bill? Also, Hong Kong and Taiwan do see eye to eye, so why can't they have an extradition bill?

@MrJay8633 Samsung can open chip factory in the U.S but can the American worker wages compete with Chinese worker wages? Also, currently the Made-in-China Samsung phone quality is impeccable, so why pay more for American wages when they can do it cheaper with Chinese wages and still not compromise on quality?

@taobaoexpert123 Who determines what is the will of the people? Take the Jan 6 Capitol Hill riots for example, should the American police give in to the demands of those who stormed Capitol Hill?

@CHINESE_PRIDE "It's China that is dependent upon the west, not the other way around." How so? China literally makes the stuff the West needs.

@GMATveteran The thing is that people shouldn't "project" onto China (and also Russia) what the U.S is doing. Even after Russian oligarchs had their private assets seized by the West, Russia is not retaliating in kind by nationalizing McDonald's and other companies assets in Russia. Russia is leaving the door open in case Western companies decide to come back to Russia. Likewise, China shouldn't freeze Western assets if the West decide to freeze Chinese assets.

@MarkYeung1 "The HK government must bear some responsibility of the unrest." The Hong Kong Extradition Bill was meant to cover up the legal loophole of someone committing a crime elsewhere and then escaping to Hong Kong to evade extradition. By bearing responsibility, are you saying that Hong Kong government is wrong for trying to seek justice for the poor pregnant girl who was murdered in Taiwan by her boyfriend? Also earlier you clearly blamed mainland China as the cause of the riots (you said: "China has cost (I think you meant "caused") the riots in Hong Kong by imposing the extradition agreement." then how is mainland China to blame? You said: "The unpopularity of Hong Kong government is well know (ask Cyrus)." Why should I ask an American living in Canada about the unpopularity of Hong Kong government? You said: "Not surprisingly Carrie Lam didn't seek for a second term." Previously, Carrie Lam had won the three-way 2017 Chief Executive election garnering 777 out of 1200 votes, and Beijing did not cast any votes in Hong Kong's election. Since she's not seeking a second term, this implies she's not a Beijing puppet after all, and that Beijing did not force her to remain in power as a so-called puppet. You said: "神州 Shenzhou Violence in protest is wrong and should be punished. But if a government cannot solve its extradition issues, it's your own fault." How is it my own fault? Do the Hong Kong rioters even understand what the extradition bill is for? Have they read its contents and understood them before protesting? And why is it after the bill was scrapped, the protests and riots in Hong Kong still continued?

@MarkYeung1 "神州 Shenzhou Hong Kong people knows what the extradition bill was for. The HK government didn't." The Hong Kong government literally proposed the extradition bill themselves, what makes you think they don't know what the bill is for? It's so that people who commit crimes elsewhere and flee to Hong Kong, can be extradited to face justice for their crimes. If the ordinary Hong Kong person knew it, they would permit the bill to be implemented because it would cover up this legal loophole. But now that the bill is scrapped, there's no justice for the victim's family, since Hong Kong courts are powerless to convict crimes that occurred outside of Hong Kong. And even after the bill was scrapped, the protests and riots continued in Hong Kong, so did the people even know what they were protesting against in the first place? Because of their actions, now the Hong Kong murderer, surname Chan, is allowed to roam free, do they understand the consequences of their actions at all?

@MarkYeung1 For what reason do you keep on bringing up Australia and China? Both our countries have an existing extradition treaty (The Treaty on Extradition Between Australia and the People's Republic of China signed on 6 September 2007) then how else can Hong Kong and Taiwan solve the problems of extradition without a treaty? Why bring up Australia and China as an example in the first place to compare?

Anonymous Panacea The United States has no qualms supporting authoritarian regimes with human rights issues, like Saudi Arabia, then can't the U.S do the same with China, despite our differences?

@dragonknightleader1 "神州 Shenzhou Why would having military grade semiconductors being built by a foreign nation be a good thing?" That's precisely the reason why China started developing our own domestic semiconductor industry, and how Chinese company SMIC achieved a breakthrough in 7nm chip fabrication.

Anonymous Panacea "No one should be able to tolerate that for the sake of an economy." The United States is able to tolerate authoritarian regimes with human rights issues such as Saudi Arabia and Israel as their allies, so can't the U.S do the same with China despite our differences? Clearly the U.S is not driven by human rights, but they are willing to use it as an excuse to sanction China that's all.

The Orange Stool Sample The special military operation is by Russia, why are you lumping China in with it? China is actually sending humanitarian aid to Ukraine, whereas NATO is sending lethal aid to Ukraine in order the prolong the conflict that the Ukrainians are losing.

@slee4039 "神州 Shenzhou you got to be kidding when you propose that China should not retaliate if IS sanctions China???" Because China's retaliation would lead to escalation, possibly leading to outright military conflict, and potential nuclear war and a mutually assured destruction scenario. It's no secret that the U.S is in decline and China is rising. China should do everything in its power to avoid getting sucked into an unnecessary war, which would devastate our economy. As long as peace prevails, the U.S will decline to the point where they can no longer afford to challenge China's rise any longer. Time is on China's side, and I believe this is the best course of action for China. A sanctions war could potentially escalate into an outright war.

@dragonknightleader1 "The problem is China doesn't want co-dependency," China's push for self-sustainability is a direct result of former U.S President Trump's tariffs and the sanctioning U.S chips to China. As a result, Chinese company SMIC recently make a chip technological breakthrough in the fabrication of 7 nm chips for use in semiconductors (possibly by 2 generations). So it was the U.S attempting to decouple from China that pushed China towards developing domestic industries to reduce reliance. "they want to be the big brother and the US as the little brother." The U.S has been the big brother for so long, isn't it time for a change? If China can surpass the United State's someday in the foreseeable future, then can't China strive towards attaining this goal?

@dragonknightleader1 What makes you claim China doesn't care about the environment? China built the world's largest hydroelectric powerstation, the Three Gorges Dam, to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. The Three Gorges Dam produces clean renewable energy equivalent to burning 100 million tons of CO2 and 2 million tons of sulfur dioxide. It also makes China the world's largest producer of hydroelectricity. Countries by Hydroelectricity production in 2018 1. China (1,229 TWh) 2. Brazil (414 TWh) 3. Canada (382 TWh) 4. United States (294 TWh) 5. Russia (184 TWh) 6. Norway (139 TWh) 7. India (130 TWh) 8. Japan (88 TWh) 9. Venezuela (70 TWh) 10. France (62 TWh) ...

@dragonknightleader1 You said: "Having the US be reliant on Chinese resources, labor, and in the Film industry's case, capital is NOT a healthy co-dependent relationship." Then why'd you said earlier that "The problem is China doesn't want co-dependency,"? You support the U.S moving towards self-sustainability but when China does it, it's a "problem"?

@hyc1266 Did you perhaps have to fork out more money for your Made-In-USA New Balance shoes, as compared to Made-in-China? It's possible that in order to cut costs, the U.S manufacturers choose to skim on quality, in order to make their product's prices more competitive with Made-in-China goods. Could that be the reason why your shoes broke?

@MarkYeung1 So literally anyone can be detained in Canada (for nearly 3 years in Meng's case)? Then Canada has no right to preach to China about following the "rule of law" according to your logic.

Agreed. Even much of Xi Jinping Thought comes from a focus on Marxism–Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought that had guided the Chinese people out of the darkness of that long night and established a New China. China needs to bid farewell to the U.S's way and return to our Chinese way or Mao's way.

@CHINESE_PRIDE "If CCP continus to strain relations, China is guaranteed to collapse." Western journalists have long been predicting China's economic downfall. Here's a list: 1990. The Economist: China's economy has come to a halt. 1996. The Economist: China's economy will face hard landing. 1998. The Economist: China's economy entering a dangerous period of sluggish growth. 1999. Bank of Canada: Likelihood of a hard landing for the Chinese economy. 2000. Chicago Tribune: China currency move nails hard landing risk coffin. 2001. Wilbanks, Smith & Thomas: A hard landing in China. 2002. Westchester University: China Anxiously Seeks A Soft Economic landing. 2003. KWR International: How to find a soft landing if China.. 2004. The Economist: The great fall of China? 2005. Nouriel Roubini: The Risk of a Hard Landing in China. 2006. International Economy: Can China Achieve a Soft Landing? 2007. TIME: Is China's Economy Overheating? Can China avoid a hard landing? 2008. Forbes: Hard Landing in China? 2009. Fortune: China's hard landing. China must find a way to recover. 2010. Nouriel Roubini: Hard landing coming in China. 2011. Business Insider: A Chinese Hard Landing May Be Closer Than You Think. 2012. American Interest: Dismal Economic News from China: A Hard Landing. 2013. Zero Hedge: A Hard Landing in China. 2014.

Forbes: Remember The China 'Hard Landing'? We Got One. ... But its already 2022, and China's economy is still going strong. So why continue to believe China's economy will fall, given that Western journalist predictions about China's collapse been proven consistently wrong for 30 years already?

Anonymous Panacea "The US is a hypocrite but so is china." How is China a hypocrite? China is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is building infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, bridges, tunnels, powerstations, dams, ports, airports, etc and investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc. Whereas the United States is warmonger being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, Yemen War, etc, even in the 21st century. USA is bombing in those Middle Eastern countries and enacting regime change by cutting off their "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place. If anything, it sounds like the U.S represents a threat to global peace and stability.
