Look at China. China today is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is 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.

@elogan6563 Previously, Hong Kong was once a thriving port city as British colony, while the mainland was still poor at that time. Today however, fortunes have reversed and Hong Kong has since fallen behind other rising mainland port cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Ningbo-Zhousan, etc and is facing increasing levels of competition from other upcoming mainland cities like Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen, Dalian, etc.

And that's despite mainland port cities being under communist party rule, while Hong Kong is suffering under its own democratic government. No wonder why the people of Hong Kong feel as though they are being left behind as mainland cities start surpassing Hong Kong.

@ernestosamuelsen6984 About Social Credit System, many foreigners often claim Chinese people spit in public, smoke in non-smoking areas, jump queues, disobey traffic rules, jay walk, drive on wrong side of the road, speed through red lights, etc when not all Chinese people are like that. We Chinese feel embarrassed that such bad people represent China overseas. So the government introduce social credit system to discourage such bad behaviour and promote better behaviour instead. This is meritocratic system where good behaviour is rewarded and bad behaviour is penalised.
But if they persist with bad behaviour, until their scores fall to become unacceptable, then they will be barred from purchasing plane tickets to fly out of China and make nuisances of themselves overseas. At least until their scores improve until it becomes acceptable for them to travel again.

@ernestosamuelsen6984 Evil? Chinese workers are helping build infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, bridges, tunnels, powerstations, dams, ports, airports, etc, in African countries. China has done much to improve African countries in just decades, as compared to what Westerners been doing in Africa for centuries.
And I have refuted your previous point about Social Credit System. And Mao Zedong killing 50 million to get control of the population? China was undergoing Chinese Civil War at that time, so of course Chinese were killing Chinese. Just like in American Civil War, Americans were killing Americans. Or Vietnamese killing Vietnamese in Vietnam War. Or Koreans in Korean War or any civil war for that matter.
And isn't China the country with the world's largest population today? So what's your point?

@elogan6563 China has produced many successful Chinese companies like Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, ZTE, LENOVO, DJI, Haier, Alibaba, Tencent, JD, Baidu, NetEase, Meituan-Dianping, Bank of China, ICBC, AgBank, China Construction Bank, Ping An Insurance, Sinopec Group, China National Petroleum, China Minmetals, China State Construction, and the list goes on. Many of these companies have successfully made it onto business magazines like Forbes Global 2000 and Fortune Global 500

Fortune Global 500 wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_Global_500
But where are all the famous companies from Hong Kong you tell me? How can Hong Kong possibly hope to compete with the sheer economic might of the mainland?

@ivanthegreat2.070 As the world's most populous country, China has (statistically speaking) 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, and since China's population is 4x that of USA, there should be at least 4 Chinese geniuses to every 1 American genius.

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.

@publicdomain3378 China publishes more scientific and technical journal articles in physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, clinical medicine, biomedical research, engineering and technology, and earth and space sciences, than any other country in the world. Source: wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_scientific_and_technical_journal_articles
Countries by published scientific papers in 2016:
1. China (426,165 articles)
2. United States (408,985 articles)
3. India (110,320 articles)
4. Germany (103,122 articles)
5. United Kingdom (97,527 articles)
6. Japan (96,536 articles)
This implies that a growing number of scientific discoveries are being made in Chinese-language papers. So Chinese researchers hold the advantage here because they have access to Western English language research papers, but Western scientists might have difficulty with Chinese-language papers because of the language barrier.

The Chinese Communist Party 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, Europe, USA and India.
Source: Life Expectancy at Birth in China, Europe, USA and India china-profile.com/data/fig_WPP2010_L0_Boths.htm
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.

And warmongers like you are the reason why USA is so eager for war. China does not want war, but that does not mean China is weak. China is not afraid of war, and we will fight to defend our sovereignty and protect our homes and loved ones from the invaders from the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

@Lassitudeman The Hong Kong rioters (mostly youths) are destroying the city that their parents and grandparents worked hard to build, resorting to violence, arsonism, vandalism, hurling petrol bombs, breaking building windows, security cameras, traffic lights, and damaging HK MTR stations, setting shops on fire, and so on.
If your company support these anti-China protests in Hong Kong, then Chinese will boycott your brand, plain and simple.

@HH-gf6rk Those idealistic Hong Kong high school kids have been raised in a cloistered environment of education, perfect theories and textbook ideals, that may not apply to real life politics. Why do you think these students know how to best govern Hong Kong? They haven't even stepped out into the real working world of adults and experience Hong Kong's real world politics.
Imagine the reverse scenario, if tens of thousands of American high school kids who haven't even graduated from school, yet they think "communism" is the best way to run America, and some of them start rioting in the streets, resorting to violence, arsonism, vandalism, hurling petrol bombs, breaking building windows, security cameras, traffic lights, etc.
Why should the American government bow down to these kids demands? Same goes for Hong Kong government and the protestors.
