It's great how the protestors stormed the legislature, beat up security guards, spray painted the walls, threatened legislators etc., spurred on by the US president. I am talking about the storming of the US Capitol, not the Hong Kong legislature.

Shame they weren't throwing molotov cocktails like in the video you are commenting on, right?

That behavior in the united states is only condoned when directed towards private businesses and individuals in the name of minority groups.

Do you really support them? Are you drawing comparisons from an open and distributed set of individually state-run elections to Chinese system?

> to extradite criminal suspects to mainland China

I did not know that Taiwan is part of mainland China! When did the reunification happen?

In all serious though, the original bill was because HK government wanted to extradite someone who killed his pregnant girlfriend to Taiwan, I wonder when did people spin this into extradition to mainland China now?
