I hope you're being sarcastic. Partly because the idea of civilians using guns bought at the supermarket to oppose the Chinese army is hilarious; partly because the idea that you need guns to get freedom, is general, even more laughable. Sorry.
Is the creation of the United States laughable? What was used in order to gain that freedom from Britain? Firearms maybe?

Really illustrates the importance of our own second amendment.
You mean the first amendment right? The US military machine would decimate any civilians wielding weapons if they were so inclined. They wouldn't even have to use troops, they could do so with drones.
I have severe doubts that the US could contain a civil uprising scenario, especially given international pressures. About 42% of Americans *live in a household with guns according to Gallup, with approximately 30% owning them. If even 10% of those people decided to revolt, that would be approximately 9 million people.
I'd wager that's vastly more than the insurgent military forces we've lost to in the past few conflicts we've had.

Conclusion: Chinese is absolutely the best language-family to make cryptic, gnomic, multi-layered allusions and sound like you've lived 100,000 years up a mountain eating nothing but fresh mountain air and magical peaches.

This has perplexed me to no end. The straw that broke the camel's back was an extradition treaty being proposed, and not the crushing living conditions that have been worsening over the past two decades.
Sounds like you are a native. curious why you think this is the case outside of the oligarchs owning media. If that's the case i can't see why the CCP is complaining they lost control of the narrative via the press, if they never had it in the first place.

Your last post said you would never open HN again. Where is the courage of your convictions?

Which she has declared to have been withdrawn.
She declared it "dead" which is not a legal term.

So yes, the creation of the United States was laughable because it established guidelines that it immediately broke.
And then we get to the point that the Declaration of Independence was in 1776 and you're still trying to apply the rules of that time to this time. Or failing to mention the foreign help from groups such as the French, which were instrumental in winning the Revolutionary War.
