Obviously you are CCP shill. You should be ashamed of yourself. Oh wait, shame is not part of the CCP ideological brainwashing propaganda and re-education concentration camps.
we used to have ard 55% democratically elected legislature, rest is voted by less populated. the reform bill is bypassing this legislature, directly or indirectly order this reform into a miniscule 25% democratically elected, 35% by popularly minor corporate, rest is appointed by the CCPI dun see any good here, even hong Kong is too rich to afford a riot she needs it
HK election is now 100% Chinese style.
Hong Kong was perfectly happy before.
This is probably a good thing for Hong Kong. China is just closing the loopholes that was existed before. The rioting was out of order before, now we do not see that anymore.

China owning the US isn't enough they have to take over everywhere else also
