Hong Kong is not a democracy.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

So you'd settle for 'The Hong Kong Crisis'?

Also, news on the wires that 'China'/the HK police have begun arresting identified protesters from the recent protest.

I'll go out on a limb here and say Chinese PLA troops will be deployed onto the Hong Kong streets within the next few days following this 'provocation':

QuoteHong Kong protests: Armed mob storms Yuen Long station
21 July 2019 


A mob of masked men armed with batons stormed a train station in the Hong Kong district of Yuen Long on Sunday.

Footage posted on social media showed the men, all in white T-shirts, violently attacking people on platforms and inside train carriages.

At least 36 people were injured in the violence, local media report.

The mob attack followed the latest pro-democracy rally in the centre of Hong Kong, where riot police had fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters.

It is unclear who the mob were or what the motives for the attack were.

The question is whether the triads are doing it themselves or the government is paying them

I think the suggestion is the Chinese authorities asked them to do this favour.
Apparently in Mainland China they're sometimes used to attack demonstrators/partitioners who are standing up to local corruption etc.

So, how long until mono mysteriously stops posting on this forum? :unsure:

But how long until Languish is banned in China? I mean, I already cannot access it without VPN when I'm in Russia.

Damn. Banned in Russia. I guess we made too many jokes about Dubya seeing Putin's soul.

That may be the board's host blocking Russian IPs.  At my company we block incoming traffic from Russia.

Didn't we block Russian IPs because of all the bots?
