#4Um, no? At what point are the citizens of a country responsible for changing it for the better? The citizens of Hong Kong need to stay and fight for the rights they desire, not run away to another country.

The ones that have the resources to run away already gave no problem doh g that, and many of them have already. The ones that can’t are mostly the ones that are protesting right now. They don’t really have a choice.

Do you feel similarly about the citizens of North Korea?

Well, having the ability to emigrate would probably help the citizens negotiate, especially when their autonomy was just stripped through Chinese imperialism (against the 1984 Sino British Joint Declaration no less).

#9What would be the diplomatic consequences of this? I'm assuming China would be very unhappy with any country making this offer to Hong Kongers, but perhaps I'm wrong and they'd prefer for dissidents to leave.

That’s a poor comparison, Hong Kong and North Korea are vastly different circumstances.
If we’re looking at human rights violations (North Korea), then the world stage should be involved, not a singular country.
The Hong Kong circumstance isn’t a human rights violation, more of a diplomacy incident.
What about mass surveillance, isn’t that a human rights violation? I would like it to be, but if that were the case, there are few places in the world to go to. Sure China is most explicit and egregious, but we have to have international court rulings before we begin to condemn and sanction based off surveillance (with many participating countries being hypocritical to an anti-surveillance ruling)
