Lee and other U.S. stooges organized large demonstrations against an extradition bill which would allow the government to send people who committed crimes in mainland China, Taiwan and Macau to those provinces where the crime was committed to receive their punishment.
Hong Kong already has similar agreements with foreign countries.
Their aims are clearly unachievable and racist nonsense:
As that outcome was totally predictable one wonders why the Trump administration bothered to launch such nonsense. It will only make it more difficult to solve other problems, like North Korea or global trade, over which China has influence.

I read a rumour today that there was trouble at St Marys college in London between Hong Kong Chinese students and mainland ones, with some Taiwanese getting involved.
Can't see anything online about it though, (Was a comment in the guardian on one of the Brexit threads).

The American gov and the admin under Trump is playing a very dangerous move. Even though this was written in July this still holds value what is happening in HK.
Blaming the US for instigating HK's protests.
People just hate being ruled over by tyrants, that's what is the cause of it.
Yes we WILL support HK in any way we can against China's insane regime but it doesn't mean we instigated and contrived this resistance. You guys will NEVER win this.

. And Assad was and is Tyrant for not surrendering to some peaceful protesters who are also Jihadist fighters.
Sure...... Nothing organic in Hong Kong? Racist?

Screw 'em. Their house, their mess.
I've said it time and again, and I'll say it once more -- I'm real damn tired of us being the World Police every time someone stateside whines and every time someone abroad doesn't want to do their own dirty work. If Hong Kong wants to maintain their status quo and not go Full China, then the good folks of HONG KONG need to see to that.
Not the UN.
Not the damn US.
HONG KONG.
They live there, it's their responsibility to look after their home and govern it as they see fit however they can achieve that end, and nobody else.
It's one thing to go in and help people out under the boot of major atrocities that they have zero hope of fighting off. Reabsorbing back into China ain't one of them. If the people of Hong Kong don't like it, they need to buck up and get their hands a little dirtier than just protesting in the streets. Nobody else is going to do that job for them.
I think it's more of an issue of China breaking international agreements to reabsorb Hong Kong prematurely. But like I mentioned before, is anyone here willing to die for Hong Kong? (I never did get a straight answer)
I can assure you that plenty of people in HK have already died for it in the last few months. I realize there is no offical death tolls but there are reports of various individuals dying, and countless injuries.
We cannot trust China on this because they still to this day have not given clear answers on the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident death tolls, all we have is estimates.
You gotta understand how a govt like this "black-bags" people and disappears them in the night right outta their homes, with no media reports, no official information, nothing. People just disappear to who knows where, probably their unmarked graves.
And about people around the world willing to die, we are going to have to face the cold hard reality that China's communist party regime is the enemy of freedom everywhere. It's like the USSR 2.0, especially considering the way they are spreading their tentacles around the globe. Their goal is to expand their "Lebensraum" because their population is so large and their resources so limited. They need living space and are not only plotting, but moving in and taking over various areas of Africa, South America, Central Asia, etc.
The Chinese regime is based on racist ideology, it's Han first all other ethnicity are screwed.
Racism in China
Look at how they treat the Japanese, the Tibetans, the Muslims, the Uyghurs, the Manchu, the Indians, the Mongols, the Koreans, Filipinos, the Taghliks - hell they even have racial slurs for all Caucasians and they especially hate Africans the most. Research this topic, the regime there not only allows racism but it promotes it.
Communism/Socialism is the worst thing that ever happened in human history, by the numbers. Their death tolls are way over 100,000,000 people, and that's the conservative estimates that do not include collateral or proxy death counts. I would personally put the number more around 250 million because I'd include WW2, Vietnam, Korea, etc (the Nazis were socialist fascists btw).
And to answer your question if I'm ready to die for HK :
Let them decide their own laws ECT.
