They were treated pretty badly
If anyone was treated badly I would assume the innocent Chinese people were the ones who got treated badly who just wanted their territory from the imperialist British.
all the more reason to try and offer a bit of support to them now, don't you think?
Still trying to bend me over to support an NGO regime change protest? good luck with that one.
We didn't start the protests or have to convince anyone.
We will help the protestors though, you can bet on that.

And this is why the Second Amendment is so important here in the United States of America. And also why some members of our elected officials want to take it away from us. a reply to: muzzleflash
Agree 100%!!
Thank God we have that Constitution - but it is under attack and we need to do everything we can to protect it and to push back against the tyrants who are continually trying to erode and destroy it.
We need to remove restrictions that were placed upon that 2nd Amendment, it's insane that people want more added. It's scary and sad to see people hating their Freedom so much.
Thank you for posting the plain Truth!
Freedom? Freedom is an illusion. You really think you are free, or ever have been free? Seriously?
I never said anyone was 100% free.
But I sure am free to post on ATS.
China isn't.
I'm free to speak out against my govt.
China isn't.
I'm free to draw pictures of Pandas getting hurt.
China isn't.
That means you are free? Why don't you loom into it deeper, then tell me how free you really are? You think you are free because you are told you are free. You are not free, no one is free, one way or another!
There's a spectrum of freedom and it's different everywhere, even between various municipalities with the same state. Context is important too.

As the usual blaming the communists again.
Dispute the fact the problems in South Africa far long before the ANC even came into power.

Yes America does and the Arab Spring protests exposed it.
U.S. Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings
We will help the protestors though, you can bet on that.
Sorry but HK is also one area where America and Western powers cant touch. Its bad enough that America destroyed the middle east region and Southern American with its regime change.
No offense but America are already supporting the protesters.

Or the Western one with the American/British right? but the reality is still the people in HK are Chinese.
You cant change that fact.
As for the protest leaders don't worry I am sure after protests are all over with they would be rewarded quite nicely by the American/British govts while living off quite nicely in a private life.

I am sure Sen John McCain would had being very strong supporter of the protests in HK. Why do you think the Cheinse knew what was going to happen in HK? Here's a hint.
McCain is dead and when he was alive he wasn't very smart.
But even an idiot like him could tell that people will revolt against the Chinese govt because it censors the truth and hides history from it's people.
What you don't understand here is that we (the USA) don't have to incite protests. We don't have to pay people to want freedom.
We don't have to pay people to want freedom
I'm just telling you this to help you out because you're not good at arguing with westerners. You don't have much experience and are not familiar with how we think or talk.
Your attempts to convince people that HK protestors are being tricked into wanting freedom are so blatantly ridiculous and absurd that everyone will think you're not capable of thinking for yourself.
Nearly every single person on this website is smart enough to know HK would prefer to be Free rather than enslaved by China.
