Crime always exists and every kind of it does but it is not what you'd call a problem on the mainland
Hong Kong is not communist at all anyway. They are extreme capitalist with probably more economic freedom than the US, maybe anywhere in the world.
But check this shit out @Andrules
Hong Kong is not unique
There is another territory with the exact same status as a "Special Administrative Region"
But they don't have riots.
They too have identical economic and political freedom.
In the SARs you *can* access Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, porn, you *can* criticize the Party, you *can* believe in Islamic terrorism, etc.
Why doesn't the other SAR have these same issues?
Why don't they have riots?
Yeah I know HK is basically anarchy 🤣
What is SAR?
(I see you spelled it out above, but what is it?)
Right vs right
Ben Shapiro hounded by conservatives for expressing disappointment over Trump’s decision not to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran
You can decide your government is no longer legitimate. Its whether or not you do anything about it that makes it reality. Saying it does nothing if there are no actions to back it up. It is in that way notmypresident is illegitimate. It's just baseless rabble rousing.
That's might makes right and essentially anarchy, survival of the fittest, etc and legitimizes every oppressive and genocidal regime in history, "they were right because their people didn't stop them"
@Andrules the two SARs are former European colonies that when returned to China were granted a special status as separate in almost every way except national defense. HK was British, Macau was Portuguese.
Macau is like those James Bond casinos where people have a $1 million buy-in for a poker game. But a whole city of it.
An Autonomous Region is also a special thing under the law, where a dominant ethnic minority has resided for a long time and so a percentage of government positions in the province are reserved for them, including the chairman, which is basically the governor.
But they still have communism.
So Macau was the other SAR you were talking about?
And it’s a communist country, but also had more freedom that China?
Not country.... special region attached to China.
Ethnic autonomous regions basically are affirmative action states
Special administrative regions are like a separate system within a nation. Different passport, citizenship, currency, and law
Their laws overlap the Chinise laws?
Chinese*
No
Hong Kong Basic Law
What is illegal in the mainland may not be illegal in HK and vice versa
Different court systems too
HK legal system is a lot like British
Still not yours now
@wwezombiegod You even lost the Cypriots
I have only shame for you
The stupidest brand of Greeks
and you failed to keep them
