  1. Pfft! Taiwan is a "flourishing democracy"? Taiwan had been under martial law for more than 38 years, which was qualified as "the longest imposition of martial law by a regime anywhere in the world". But it was under Kuomintang's authoritarian rule that much of Taiwan's economic progress and development occurred. The truth is that Taiwan was ruled by single government KMT for almost its entire life, and only in 2016, did another political party DPP finally took over, and now Taiwan is in a slump. How exactly did Taiwan flourish under democracy? Or is it just Western propaganda promoting democracy as beneficial for Taiwan?

  2. In the past, Chinese tourists from Taiwan also had a bad reputation before learning to be civil. Even Hong Kong tourists also had bad reputation too. Now mainland China is going through a similar phase as well. Also, my point is that Taiwan government has been in power for most of its lifetime, right up to 2016 (2 years ago from today in 2018), when another political party took over the KMT, so Taiwan actually flourished under authoritarian single-party rule, not under democracy. After the DPP took over KMT, now Taiwan's economy is is a slump instead.

  4. People in China can easily access Youtube and other Western websites through the use of VPN. So many foreign companies are setting up shop in China, and many require access to Western websites to operate while in China, so why you think average mainland Chinese don't have access to Youtube?

  5. +wakzz75 Otherwise how would you describe Taiwan democracy then? Taiwan progressed rapidly under the authoritarian single party rule of the Kuomintang for nearly 70 years. Prior to KMT, Taiwan was under authoritarian Imperial Japanese rule, for about 50 years (1895-1945). I mean, can you point out how exacty did Taiwan flourish under democracy then?

  6.  Gus YAO  According to World Bank, China's poverty rate fell from 88% in 1981 to a mere 0.7% in 2015. According to UNESCO, adult literacy rate in China increased from 65.5% in 1982 to a whopping 96.4% in 2015 growing at an average annual rate of 10.39%. This is impressive feat considering that China is world's most populous country, yet attaining 0.7% poverty and 96.4% literacy. Source: Wikipedia: Poverty in China

  7.  Gus YAO  It's true that some corrupt Chinese officials spend their money overseas on property. But at least under President Xi Jinping, the anti-graft campaign in China has extended overseas and more than 1,300 fugitives, including 307 corrupt government officials, were repatriated to face trial in China as the National Supervisory Commission made progress in promoting law enforcement cooperation with other countries. Source: Over 1,300 fugitives hiding overseas repatriated to China in 2018 straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/over-1300-fugitives-hiding-overseas-repatriated-to-china-in-2018 The commission said 1,335 fugitives were brought back to China in 2018, with over 3.5 billion yuan (S$702 million) in ill-gotten gains recovered. The number of fugitives and amount of funds recovered rose by 3 per cent and 261 per cent, respectively, year-on-year.

Source: World's First Quantum Computer Made By China fossbytes.com/worlds-first-quantum-computer-made-by-china/ The quantum computer is built by a team of Chinese scientists working at the University of Science and Technology of China, at Hefei in Anhui province. The researchers believe that quantum computing could excel the processing power of supercomputers. Pan Jianwei, a quantum physicist, and an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that quantum computing makes use of quantum superposition principle for ultra-fast parallel calculation and simulation capabilities.

It's more than 40 years yet those Asian countries haven't launched spacestation, nor have they soft-landed on the Moon? And I asked you which year did Indian "sharma" land on the Moon, yet you refuse to answer, because No Indian has ever landed on the Moon.

  10. +MrAdonis258 The Tiananmen Square Incident started because protestors (university students mostly) were anti-Deng. The students protestors (like all students) live in the world of academics and textbooks, idealistic and naive, and they think because the West was following democracy, so should China. Because there wasn't enough police forces, so the PLA was called in to disperse the demonstrators.

  25.  Gus YAO  It was Kuomintang that stole China's wealth back when they fled the mainland to Formosa. Much of Republic of China's wealth was in the possession of the rich landlords (aka the KMT) and it was the peasants that were dirt-poor. When the KMT fled to Formosa, KMT leader Chiang took China's gold reserves with him, which amounted to some 3 million – 5 million taels (113.6 tons – 115.2 tons) of gold, leaving the mainland in ruins and dirt-poor.

  26.  Gus YAO  Corruption is universal phenomena and every country suffers from corruption to a certain degree. But at least under President Xi Jinping, there are ongoing anti-graft campaigns to deal with the mountain of corruption inherent within the communist party. But when is the last time a democratic country had an anti-corruption campaign of its own? Look at the United States and Hillary Clinton is corrupt politician. Donald Trump even promised to jail her during his presidential campaign, but after he became president, no further action been taken against Clinton for corruption.

Hong Kong is scaring away potential tourists and investors with the protests. And did you know that Hong Kong actually flourished under authoritarian British colonial rule from 1841 to 1997, during which Hong Kong did not enjoy democracy and virtually no elections were held by people of Hong Kong while it was British colony? Only during the period of Hong Kong handover to mainland China that Hong Kong people finally get democracy, when prior to that they had none.

  28.  Gus YAO  Chiang kai-Shek even served in the Japanese Army from 1909 to 1911. He purged communists from KMT and their removal of Communists from within the ranks allowed him free reign to give himself what amounted to dictatorial power over much of China. Source: 11 Things You Should Know About Chiang Kai-shek https://theculturetrip.com/asia/taiwan/articles/11-things-know-chiang-kai-shek/ When the Japanese invaded Manchuria, Chiang refused to face the Japanese invaders, until two of his subordinates, Generals Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, had to kidnap him to get him to ally with the communists in a united front against the Japanese. (Xi'an Incident) Additionally, the Communists actually saved his leadership, and it’s often forgotten that without the Communists’ help, Chiang would never have survived as a political force, since was the communists who convinced the officers to release Chiang and allow him to take control of the government once again. Chiang’s efforts against the Japanese gained him some influential friends. And although the Communist General Mao was responsible for much of the damage inflicted upon the Japanese, it was Chiang who got the credit mainly from Britain and the US. When civil war broke out in China, Chiang expected help from the allies, but after a long campaign against both the Japanese and the Germans, the US and Britain were reluctant to get involved in a civil war. His Western ‘friends’ literally abandoned him. He suppressed local culture in Taiwan (White Terror) and was responsible for the imprisonment of 140,000 Taiwanese. These people were taken captive for their alleged opposition to the KMT. At this time, anyone openly criticizing the ruling party was deemed a Communist sympathizer. He held the Taiwan presidency for 25 years. He held the Taiwan under a permanent state of martial law, thus ensuring his power was absolute. In fact, the constitution only allowed for two terms in power, but with martial law as his excuse, Chiang could rule indefinitely.

  29.  Gus YAO  It's clear that you are unable to present any solid arguments of your own. Chinese people are free to travel overseas for work, study or play. Everyone has heard of Chinese tourists, visiting your countries and spending money on your economies. Western schools and universities are positively flooded with Chinese international students, studying the same topics as their peers. Chinese companies like Huawei, Lenovo, Xiaomi, Oppo, ZTE, etc are expanding overseas and Chinese investors are buying up property in your lands.

  30.  Gus YAO  About corruption, the Chinese Communist Party is among the world's largest political party, at over 80 million members (about the population size of Germany) so of course corruption in China would be higher than in Philippines. And you think a democracy like Philippines, the President can't jail anyone? Look at Philippines President Duterte and he is jailing drug offenders and executing them without trial, and Duterte was elected democratically.

  31.  Gus YAO  Hong Kong is clearly a democracy and Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam was voted into power by winning the 2017 elections, garnering over 700 votes out of the 1200-member Election Committee (which consists entirely of Hong Kong groups) and was appointed by Beijing government. But Beijing government did not cast any votes in Hong Kong election and it all votes were cast by Hong Kong. Source: Carrie Lam wins Hong Kong chief executive election, with 777 votes scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/2082192/live-decision-day-arrives-hong-kong-race-its-next-leader So how is Hong Kong not a democracy then you tell me? Beijing did not cast any votes in Hong Kong elections at all. And before the handover, Hong Kong did not enjoy democracy for 150 years as a British Colony, so isn't it thanks to mainland China that people of Hong Kong finally get to vote for their favorite leaders?

  34.  Gus YAO  China's population doubled from 500,000,000 in 1950s to over 1.4 billion people today, so why do you claim China's population didn’t double? And from 1 in 4 to 1 in 5, that's because the rest of the world's population also increased, that's why Chinese people make up 20% instead of 25%. But the fact remains that Chinese people are the most common and China is world's most populous country even today. So what's your point then?

  35.  Gus YAO  Look at prosperous Shenzhen in the mainland, just across from Hong Kong and Shenzhen’s economy surpassed Hong Kong in 2017.

Over 40 per cent of the output came from “innovative” businesses such as internet, biotech and telecom, the report said. And that's in spite of Shenzhen being under authoritarian CCP rule and Hong Kong being under democratic Hong Kong government rule.

  36.  Gus YAO  I said that the Hong Kong Chief Executive was appointed by Beijing, but not the 1200 member Election Committee. The Election Committee has 4 sectors, each composed of a number of subsectors (with a total of 38 subsectors) and they compose of: 1. Industrial, commercial and financial sectors: 300 members 2. The professions: 300 members 3. Labour, social services, religious and other sectors: 300 members 4. Members of the Legislative Council, representatives of members of the District Councils, representatives of the Heung Yee Kuk, Hong Kong deputies to the National People's Congress, and representatives of Hong Kong members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference: 300 members Source: Election Committee wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_Committee So Beijing appoints the Hong Kong Chief Executive, but Beijing does not appoint the election committee and neither does Beijing cast any votes in Hong Kong election.

  37.  Gus YAO  Duterte is elected by the people, then what's wrong when President Xi Jinping is elected by the Communist Politburo? Look at how much Xi done for China as compared to what Duterte done for Philippines? China is prospering under CCP leadership, while Philippines isn't under democracy, so why should China adopt Western democracy then you tell me?

  38.  Gus YAO  Exactly, Hong Kong actually thrived under authoritarian British colonial rule from 1841-1997 during which Hong Kong did not enjoy democracy and virtually no elections were held by people of Hong Kong while it was British colony. Only during the period of Hong Kong handover to mainland China that Hong Kong people finally get to vote in elections for their favourite leaders. So isn't it thanks to China that Hong Kong people finally get to vote, when before that, they had none? And since Hong Kong thrived under authoritarian British colonial rule, why is there a need to adopt democracy then? Why fix what isn't broken?

  39.  Gus YAO  Hong Kong was once a thriving port city closest to mainland China, however in recent times it has since fallen behind other rising mainland port cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Ningbo-Zhousan and is facing increasing competition from upcoming mainland cities like Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen, Dalian, etc. No wonder why the Hong Kong people feel like they're being left behind. Source: List of busiest container ports wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_container_ports List of busiest ports by cargo tonnage wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_ports_by_cargo_tonnage So what makes you think Hong Kong or Taiwan can even compete with the mainland in terms of sheer volume of port traffic? Mainland port cities are all advancing rapidly and our ports dominate the list of busiest ports in the world.

  41.  Gus YAO  I have thoroughly shown that President Xi Jinping is willing to conduct numerous anti-corruption campaigns in China, as well as outside of China, but all you've done is complain, complain, complain. I mean, corruption is rampart in the communist party, but at least there is progress in dealing with corrupt. I mean you can't possily expect the government to just wipe out all of China's corruption in one fell swoop, isn't it? The government is slowly and systematically going through each individuals corruption charges, so you can't just expect instantaneous rooting out of corruption isn't it? Especially when the Communist party is so massive at 80 million, you can't just jail all the corrupt officials at one go, else the party will fall apart. You can't refute my points on anti-corruption, so you just complain why so slow, why so little being done about it? At least there is something being done about corruption, so what's your point then?

  42.  Gus YAO  I clearly said earlier that Hong Kong actually flourished under authoritarian British colonial rule, so who's admitting what? And China did not fix Hong Kong, China wanted Hong Kong to be fully returned to the mainland, but HK people wanted democracy so China had the One-Country, Two-Systems policy to allow Hong Kong to have their own separate government from the mainland. And those problems in Hong Kong were caused by Hong Kong government, the mainland China had literally nothing to do with it, so isn't it clear that Hong Kong isn't doing well under democracy? Look at all those HK protests and riots, scaring away potential tourists and investors to Hong Kong. They are HK protestors own doing, not the mainland's

But I never said the Election Committee was appointed by Beijing government, so why are you putting words in my mouth?

  52.  Gus YAO  And yes, the Hong Kong Chief Executive was appointed by Beijing, but once again, Beijing does not cast any votes in Hong Kong elections, so what's your point? According to Hong Kong Basic Law Article 45 (香港基本法第四十五條) which states the following: "The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be selected by election or through consultations held locally and be appointed by the Central People's Government." - Article 45, Hong Kong Basic Law. So the Central People's Government (Beijing) reserves the right to appoint HK Chief executive and is not violating any HK laws here.

  53.  Gus YAO  The Hong Kong Extradition bill was proposed because of a certain incident. Some Hong Kong guy named Chan, brought his pregnant girlfriend to Taiwan, then proceeded to strangle her to death, and then flew back to Hong Kong alone, leaving her body in Taiwan. Chan has since confessed and Taiwan wanted to extradite this HK murderer to face justice in Taiwan. But Hong Kong has no existing extradition treaty with Taiwan, and since the crime occurred in Taiwan, Hong Kong courts are powerless to pursue justice for the victim's family. That's why HK Chief Executive Carrie Lam proposed the amendments to HK extradition bill to cover up this legal loophole. Do the HK protestors even know what they are protesting about? Have they read the extradition bill and understood its contents in their entirety?

  54.  Gus YAO  Hong Kong will eventually be fully returned back to China by 2047, once the Sino-British Declaration finally expires, so why delay the inevitable? Look at mainland port cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, etc, and they are flourishing under authoritarian CCP rule, while Hong Kong's economy is in a slump today under democracy, and protestors are tearing HK apart and disrupting its economy. And I don't understand why you keep on making personal insults against me and then bringing my parents and grandparents into this discussion. I don't bring your parents into this discussion, because what your parents even got to do with this discussion?

  55.  Gus YAO  India is not your country, so if you can complain and badmouth China, then why can't I do the same to India? India is not your country so what do you care anyway? India is world's largest democracy yet why are they still lagging behind China then? India has 2nd largest population so they have similar workforce as China. Republic of India was founded in 1947 while People's Republic of China was founded 2 years later, in 1949. India is founding member of World Trade Organization in 1995, while China had a late entry into WTO in 2001. Many Indians speak English (more favorable for Westerners) while many Chinese still struggle with English even till today. Yet despite these advantages, China has overtaken India in many areas. For example: -China is world's 2nd largest economy, India is world's 7th. -China has world's 2nd highest military spending, India has world's 5th. -China has world's 2nd highest research spending, while India is 7th. -China has literacy rate of 96.4%, India has literacy rate of 72.1%. -China has Global Hunger Index of 7.5(low) whereas India's is 31.4(serious) -China is world's 3rd largest arms exporter. India is world's largest arms importer.

  56.  Gus YAO  So you can't even name any notable Indian companies? Even in Internet firms, China has Internet giants like Alibaba, Tencent, JD, Baidu, Meituan-Dianping, Net Ease, which are ranked among the world's largest Internet companies. Source: List of largest Internet companies wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_Internet_companies But where are the famous Indian internet companies, if you think India will surpass China? If they are so smart, then where are all their Indian companies as compared to China?

  57.  Gus YAO  If you want to talk about very smart people, then Chinese and East Asian populations tend to have the highest IQ. According to (Source: Average IQ by Country 2019 worldpopulationreview.com/countries/average-iq-by-country/ ) China has world's 2nd highest IQ only behind Singapore (high Chinese population country) at number one. Japan and Koreans also scored high, however, India average IQ doesn't seem to rank as high as East Asian countries.

If you disagree with my data about doubled life span, population, literacy, etc, and label them as bogus, then why don't you provide sources of your own to refute my points? So far you have given zero sources to support your claims of these data being bogus.

  60.  Gus YAO  Shenzhen (深圳) means Deep (深) Drain (圳). The (圳) refers to small furrows in the field, since Shenzhen was originally a swampy village in the past, instead of the high-tech city it is today. And the only thing you can mock about Shenzhen is its name that's all? Or that it needs permits? You can't deny that Shenzhen is a technological hub far more advanced than its Hong Kong neighbor. There are even high-tech fairs held in Shenzhen to display some of the technology being developed there. Video: China's largest high-tech fair opens in Shenzhen youtube.com/watch?v=wdH79ewcqM4

Our high-speed trains are world-class, the journeys very smooth and enjoyable. Some passengers even experimented by balancing small objects like coin, pen, mobile phones, on their edges, on a train traveling at 350 kph, and the balanced objects remain undisturbed (even stagnant water remains still) for a long period of time. Video: Watch how long coin can balance on high-speed train traveling at 350 kph youtube.com/watch?v=fumYdO9XknE Before the advent of high-speed rail, during Spring Festival, many people in China would return our home province to celebrate Chinese New Year with family, and the journey would often take several days. But thanks to High-Speed Rail, the commuting time has been reduced from days to mere hours.

  64.  Gus YAO  As the world's most populous country, China has the most brainpower to come up with plans and ideas, as well as the most manpower to implement said plans and turn ideas into reality. Larger populations have more geniuses, thus there should be 4 Chinese geniuses to every 1 American genius. Source: China's Statistical Advantage: http://iiipublishing.com/blog/2018/06/blog_06_07_2018.html Taken from the above: Consider two standard bell curves, say one with 1.4 billion people and one with 326 million. The number of average people in China is very close to 4.3 times the number of average people in the U.S. That is also true for those in the top 2% say, which produces scientists, the best business and government people, and the most competent computer programmers. Even there, China would have a 4.3 to 1 advantage, which would be quite an advantage, everything else being equal.

It has degenerated into an academic system and many researcher's ideas remain on paper, instead of being turned into actual products. Whereas in China, research funds are available at all tiers of society, from corporate to government sector, and a struggling research can easily get a $40,000 funding approval, thus freeing the researcher to concentrate on his/her research instead of having to worry about funding. The idea-to-product transition time in China is short too, so many researchers can feel a sense of satisfaction, witnessing their ideas being turned to actual products.

Video: China unveils its answer to US Reaper drone how does it compare youtube.com/watch?v=Oe7o9grEf-Q CH-4 is capable of firing air-to-ground missiles from altitude of 5,000 meters (~16,400 feet), therefore the aircraft can stay outside of effective range of most anti-aircraft guns as well as allowing the drone to be able to fire from a position that provides wider viewing area. CH-5 has a wingspan of 21m, a payload of 1,000 kg, a maximum takeoff weight of over 3 tonnes, a service ceiling of 9 km, an endurance of up to 60 hours and a range of 10,000 km. The drone can carry 16 missiles at a single time and has a shared data link which it can cooperate with other CH-3 and CH-4 drones.

Source: China Finishes Building World's Largest Radio Telescope space.com/33357-china-largest-radio-telescope-alien-life.html The larger the radio dish, the more sensitive it is to picking up signals from space and FAST's potential to discover an alien civilization will be 5 to 10 times that of current equipment, as it can see farther and darker planets. Since its trial operations began in 2016, China's radio telescope has discovered 44 new pulsars, which are a type of solar phenomena in which a rapidly rotating star emits radiation periodically (like some sort of "cosmic lighthouse" if you will) Video: 44 pulsars identified by China's FAST telescope youtube.com/watch?v=t9nySMjiUzw

  102.  Gus YAO  Here's another video: FAST: The World's Largest Telescope | A China Icons Video youtube.com/watch?v=7SRV3rnULO0 And I have already shown that FAST discovered 44 pulsars during its lifetime so far, due to its increases sensitivity. Imagine how many more are going to be discovered in the future. As a Chinese, I am glad China is able to contribute to scientific advancement and help astronomers in space exploration. Who cares whether China is late or not, as long as we made it? Better late than never!

  103.  Gus YAO  Who says you need to move the discs? The receiver that is suspended by cables above the radio dish does all the movement and positioning to detect pulsars. Did you see my previous video explaining how FAST is used to detect pulsars? And what has your high-speed train analogy even got to do with this?

About Indian Moon Mission, my congratulations if Chandrayaan manages to soft-land on the Lunar surface. Like I said previous, it's better late than never, other Asian countries like Japan, Korea, etc, have not conducted soft lunar landings on the Moon thus far, and so do countries besides USA and Russia, like Britain, France, Germany, etc. About China's radio telescope, it was only commissioned in 2016 onwards so of course its contribution to space science community is less. But give it a few more decades and China's contribution to space sciences will only continue to grow.

  106.  Gus YAO  In 2016, China launched world's 1st quantum satellite, named Micius, (墨子) into orbit and demonstrated that the quantum entanglement effect works at distances above the stratosphere, smashing the previous record held on Earth. Video: China's Quantum satellite achieves 'spooky action' at record distance youtube.com/watch?v=4QlcKuxDGrs Quantum entanglement (in a nutshell) is when two subatomic particles become an "entangled pair", able to influence their quantum states (won't go into detail here) seemingly regardless of the distance involved. One particle could be on the surface of the Earth, and the other on the surface of the Moon, and theoretically, they can still influence each other with no information (known to current science) passing in between them. The longest record for quantum entanglement on Earth is 143 km in at experiment in the Canary Islands. But China has allowed two stations (Delingha and Lijiang station) located 1200 km apart to communicate directly, through our quantum satellite, thus breaking the previous record and showcasing that the quantum entanglement effect works at distances above the stratosphere. And as far as I know, this is a world first, and China is the first to launch quantum satellite into space.

  110.  @phantasmaleye3879  Where did I criticise the period of Martial Law on Taiwan? I pointed out that Taiwan actually flourished under authoritarian KMT rule in what's known as the as the Taiwan Miracle (台湾奇迹). Only in the late 1990s, when democracy was introduced (because USA threatened to cut off weapons sales to Taiwan) did Taiwan's economic growth became more modest. So why Taiwan replaced the politically experienced KMT with the green and inexperienced DPP?

  111.  @phantasmaleye3879  Little evidence? Under authoritarian single-party KMT rule, Taiwan actually flourished and prospered, in what's known as the Taiwan Miracle (台湾奇迹). Between 1952 – 1982, Taiwan's economic growth was on average 8.7%, and between 1983 – 1986 at 6.9%. Taiwan GDP grew by 360% between 1965 – 1986. The percentage of global exports was over 2% in 1986, over other recently industrialized countries, and the global industrial production output grew a further 680% between 1965 – 1986. And its all been achieved under KMT leadership. What more evidence do you need? Only in the late 1990s, when democracy was introduced (because USA threatened to cut off weapons sales to Taiwan) did Taiwan's economic growth became more modest. DPP has less political experience than KMT, why the people of Taiwan switch their capable KMT government for the green and inexperienced DPP?

  112.  @phantasmaleye3879  Taiwan Miracle period all occurred under authoritarian KMT rule, isn't it? Much of Taiwan's prosperity occurred under the KMT so what more evidence do I need to provide for you to see the truth? You're just acting blind to the fact that Taiwan prospered under authoritarian single-party KMT rule, despite the 38-year martial law and numerous human rights violations and suppression of political dissidents under the KMT, that's a fact that you have to face.

  114.  @phantasmaleye3879  Look at Hong Kong? Previously, Hong Kong was under authoritarian British colonial rule from 1841-1997, during which Hong Kong did not enjoy democracy and virtually no elections were held by people of Hong Kong while it was British colony. Only during the period of Hong Kong's handover back to mainland China that Hong Kong people finally get to vote in elections for their favourite leaders. So isn't it thanks to mainland China that Hong Kong people finally get democracy under the One Country, Two Systems Policy, when they had none before? For 150 years as British colony?

I even cited a Research Fellow from Institute of Economics, Academia Sinica, Ray Chou showing that Taiwan's economy is in a slump, wages are stagnant, cost of living is rising, unemployment is rising, yet you still saying Taiwan has not gotten worst since DPP came into power? Then perhaps you're the one blatantly ignoring reality here, in your blind devotion to defend democratic ideology. What more evidence do I need to show that Taiwan flourished under authoritarian single-party KMT rule? Look at mainland China and we are flourishing under Control Party of China rule.

  116.  @phantasmaleye3879  Hong Kong actually held more elections after the 1997 handover back to mainland China than it ever did for 150 years as British colony, what more do I need to say? Hong Kong did not enjoy democracy while it was British colony and it's thanks to China's One Country, Two Systems Policy that Hong Kong people finally get to vote in elections for their favourite leaders. And who says Hong Kong isn't free? They have the freedom to protest for 6 months and you still think Hong Kong isn't free?

Prosper to be successful or fortunate, especially in financial respects; thrive; flourish. Source: dictionary.com/browse/prospering So how is material wealth/economic growth not equal to prospering?

So how is it not because of KMT policies? Did you study the Taiwan Miracle and how Taiwan prospered under the KMT rule? Earlier you said "You are acting blind to the fact that economic wealth does not equate to prospering" so you clearly said prospering and did you even look up the definition of prosperity before you start calling me blind?

  121.  @phantasmaleye3879  2012 is already after the 1997 Hong Kong handover, how's that a different story? I have shown that Hong Kong already held more elections after the 1997 handover than it ever did for 150 years as British colony, so what's your argument about decline in democracy in Hong Kong when they had virtually none as British colony? You're just going to keep accusing me of being uninformed? Look, Hong Kong actually prospered under British colonial rule and only because democracy was introduced that HK began to decline today. All those HK protests is because of democracy, that's why Hong Kong economy is in recession, so what's the point of democracy? Previously, Hong Kong was a thriving port city under British colonial rule, while the mainland was still dirt-poor at that time. Today however, fortunes have reversed and Hong Kong has since fallen behind rising mainland port cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Ningbo-Zhousan, and is facing increasing levels of competition from other upcoming mainland port cities like Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen, Dalian. Here's a list of busiest ports.

"And the protestors did register, only to be denied a permit" That means that the marches are illegal and those HK protestors are protesting illegally. HK police is following the Rule of Law by arresting those illegal protests. Have you seen the video of HK rioters dousing a man in flammable liquid and setting him on fire? Just because he disagreed with their views?

You're just deliberately not giving credit to KMT where credit is due. Earlier you said: "You are acting blind to the fact that economic wealth does not equate to prospering" So you clearly said prospering, not flourishing so why are you changing your words? And you resort to calling me blind when you clearly said "prospering"?

  124.  @phantasmaleye3879  You can't refute my points so you resort to hurling personal insults like calling me ignorant and uninformed? Hong Kong held more elections after the 1997 handover so that already means that Hong Kong is more democratic today than before. And Hong Kong was actually prosperous under authoritarian British colonial rule, so why should Hong Kong adopt democracy then? Because Westerners say so? Look at prosperous Shenzhen in the mainland, just across from Hong Kong and Shenzhen’s economic growth surpassed Hong Kong's in 2017. Source: Shenzhen surpasses US$338 billion GDP mark in 2017, beats Hong Kong and Singapore’s growth scmp.com/news/china/economy/article/2128310/shenzhen-88-cent-hi-tech-growth-roll-hit-y2tr-2017 Shenzhen is roughly the same economic size as Singapore and Hong Kong, but recorded nominal output of 2.2 trillion yuan (US$338 billion) in 2017 thanks to its booming hi-tech sector. Over 40% of the output came from “innovative” businesses such as internet, biotech and telecom. And that's despite Shenzhen being under communist party rule, while Hong Kong is suffering under its own democratic government. Hong Kong police does not deny people from protesting, but if they fail to submit the proper documentation or meet the requirements then they aren't allowed to protest. Hong Kong Basic Law also states that the police are allowed to enforce rule of law in Hong Kong. And Hong Kong will eventually be fully returned back to China by 2047 anyway, once the Sino-British declaration finally expires after 50 years after the 1997 handover. How is Hong Kong's government under Beijing's control? Beijing does not cast any votes in Hong Kong's elections, all Beijing does is appoint the Chief Executive according to Hong Kong Basic Law Article 45 (香港基本法第四十五條) which states the following: "The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be selected by election or through consultations held locally and be appointed by the Central People's Government." "The method for selecting the Chief Executive shall be specified in the light of the actual situation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress." So Beijing (Central People's Government) is not breaking any laws by appointing the Hong Kong Chief Executive and Beijing can modify the method in light of the actual situation in Hong Kong.

  135.  @phantasmaleye3879  The Hong Kong extradition bill was proposed because of a certain incident. A Hong Kong guy named Chan, brought his pregnant girlfriend to Taiwan and then proceeded to strangle her to death, and stuff her body in her suitcase, before flying back to Hong Kong alone, leaving her body for the Taiwan authorities to discover. Chan has since confessed to his crime and Taiwan wanted to extradite this HK murderer to face justice for his crime, but Hong Kong has no extradition treaty with Taiwan. Furthermore, since the crime occurred in Taiwan, the Hong Kong courts are powerless to pursue justice for the victim's family. That's why Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam proposed the amendments to Hong Kong extradition laws. Do the HK protestors even know what they are protesting for? Have they read the bill and understood its contents in their entirety? And now the bill has been scrapped, what are the Hong Kong protestors still protesting for? Beijing dud nothing for more than a year, yet the Hong Kong protestors still continue to destroy their country, so Beijing is implementing the Hong Kong National Security Law. Hong Kong is part of China after all, yet Washington can implement their Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act?

  139.  @phantasmaleye3879  So you're using a single anecdotal example as proof that China's legal system is broken? You never said he shouldn't be punished, so it implies that your uncle deserves what he got, then why can't you disclose his crime then? I have no info about what crime your uncle committed and no means to verify your story, so what makes you think Chinese legal system is broken, when you refuse to give details? Did you know that China is experimenting with Artificial Intelligence judges, cyber-courts, and verdicts delivered on chat apps and encouraging digitization to streamline case-handling within its sprawling court system using cyberspace and technologies like blockchain and cloud computing?

  140.  @phantasmaleye3879  Since you refuse to disclose the details of your uncle's crime, then I can only make assumptions like it's corruption or something to that extent to warrant him getting jailed. Since you appear to agree that your uncle deserves his punishment then what's your problem with China's legal system then? How exactly is China's legal system broken? Could you explain why you think Artificial Intelligence systems isn't reliable? Here's a video of China's constantly improving our legal system. According to the latest World Bank Doing Business 2020 report, China has topped the world in terms of the quality of its judicial process. Video: Come Together: China's progress in building a law-based government youtu.be/NiZi-N_Cqjk In 2019, the number of registered criminal cases in China dropped by 4.1 percent. The caseload in eight categories of serious violent crimes also fell by 10.3 percent, making China one of the safest countries in the world. On the world stage, China continues to improve and develop its legal system and actively follow and safeguard international norms and laws in its drive for shared benefits and win-win cooperation worldwide.

  141.  @phantasmaleye3879  "神州 Shenzhou I am so done with you. I send you the answers to your questions" You don't even answer my simple question of what crime your uncle committed, and you seem to agree that he deserves it, which is why I assume it's probably he got arrested for corruption or something to that effect. You said your uncle was mistreated and tortured, then where's your proof? It's possible that your uncle is trying to use his family bond with you to gain your sympathy. What mistreatment and torture was your uncle subject to then, you tell me? You've given me an unverifiable anecdotal source and hardly any information, yet you're claiming that you answered my questions? And you said that you don't think Artificial Intelligence systems is reliable, then why can't you explain why? The fact is that you are anti-China that's all and you care absolutely nothing for China's interests nor do you wish to see China succeed.

  142.  @phantasmaleye3879  You're intentionally ambiguous because you don't want others to verify your claims, so you give vague information about your uncle's arrest and refuse to disclose the details of your uncle's crime. Sleep deprivation? Is that it? Sleep deprivation does not constitute torture or violation of human rights by many countries. Memos signed by Steven G. Bradbury in May 2005 claimed that forced sleep deprivation for up to 180 hours (​7 1⁄2 days) by shackling a diapered prisoner to the ceiling did not constitute torture for example. In 2006, Australian Federal Attorney-General Philip Ruddock argued that sleep deprivation does not constitute torture. Again, it depends on the degree of crime your uncle committed, so why are you so reluctant to reveal his crime? Stealing a loaf of bread? Corruption? Pirating music? What is his crime? You're clearly anti-China, why pretend you're not anti-China? All this while you've been mocking China's success under the Communist Party of China, because your anti-China so why pretend otherwise?

  143.  @phantasmaleye3879  You refuse to give me any more information about your uncle's arrest, such as what crime he committed, so how am I to verify your anecdotal evidence? I've already shown that some countries consider sleep deprivation not a violation of human rights, so how is it against the rule of law? You're only using your own personal feelings as evidence that's all, and if sleep deprivation is considered acceptable in China then how is it against the rule of law? It's just like earlier you suddenly change the definition of "prosper" to suit your own definition, even after I cited the definition of prosper. You're anti-China, you care absolutely nothing for China's interests nor do you wish to see China succeed. So why pretend that you aren't anti-China when you clearly are? Granted, the Communist Party of China is not perfect (then again which government body truly is?) but despite its initial failures and setbacks, under its leadership, China's population doubled, our lifespans doubled, our literacy rates doubled, and our poverty rates plummeted. The graph below shows life-expectencies across China, USA and India. Source: Life expectancy at birth, total (years) - China, India, United States data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN?locations=CN-IN-US China was once a dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country similar to India (world's largest democracy) in the past, but today, China has since transformed into world's 2nd largest economy, the world's factory (Made in China) having world's 2nd highest R&D spending, protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, funded by world's 2nd highest military expenditure. And it's all been achieved under communist party leadership, despite Western anti-Communist propaganda constantly denouncing China's success all along.

  144.  @phantasmaleye3879  You expressed anti-China attitudes against Chinese companies like Huawei, Tencent through WeChat, and even when I bring up China's Artificial Intelligence judges and digital court, you just claim they're unreliable without bothering to explain. So far you have said nothing remotely positive about China, so why pretend that you aren't anti-China when you clearly are? According to the World Bank, China's poverty rate fell from 88% in 1981 to a mere 0.7% in 2015. According to UNESCO, adult literacy rate in China increased from 65.5% in 1982 to a whopping 96.4% in 2015, growing at an average annual rate of 10.39%. This is an impressive feat considering that China is world's most populous country, yet attaining 0.7% poverty and 96.4% literacy.

  145.  @phantasmaleye3879  What is it with you and the word "ambiguous"? How many times have you used it? And in China, the government controls the companies for China's benefit, whereas in United States, its actually the American corporations that control the government for their own profit. Americans often complain that the corporations control their government such as the US Oil companies instigating wars in the Middle East to control the oil. About poverty rate in China, China has lifted 700 million people out of poverty in just 40 years, whereas the whole rest of the world only lifted 150 million by comparison. Video: Historical achievement: Take 700 million out of poverty youtu.be/CljWffPgmG8 "China has lifted 728 million people out of poverty by international standards. The whole rest of the world has only lifted 152 million." - John Ross, Well-known columnist in UK, Former Deputy mayor of London. You're just anti-China, not once did you even said anything remotely positive about China, so why pretend that you aren't anti-China? You care absolutely nothing for China's interests nor do you wish to see China succeed that's all.

  148.  @phantasmaleye3879  China Uncensored constantly paint negative image of China and "demonise" our country, that's why anti-China sentiment is rising, especially among those people who never even set foot in China and see what life is really like here for themselves.

  152.  @phantasmaleye3879  I've been to Nanjing Memorial and found that what China Uncensored said to be untrue. And you the one who claim that they always use proper reasoning and evidence to back up their claims, so how is it irrelevant? I already proven your statement wrong.

  153.  @phantasmaleye3879  What do you mean by you can't go to Nanjing Memorial to find out? Everyone knows that pronography is banned in China, why would Nanjing Memorial sell those videos? China Uncensored has been caught blatantly lying, but you just refuse to admit it, so you claim that it's not relevant. China Uncensored has been painting negative image of China to people who haven't even been to China and see what life is like here for yourself.
