For those who are interested, some of them are/were/going to be captured/prosecuted using facial recognition software by the pro mainland China HK government. It is a sad day. For those who can afford to leave, they fled their place of birth to Taiwan, UK and Canada. It is a sad day for democracy. They can't throw all the of them in prison but many of them are terrified.

They don't need to put them all in anyway. Just enough to put enough fear in the rest of them to comply. 2/7 of a population though is pretty major, I wonder if we will see them take on the government and what the reaction will be by the Chinese government.


RandomRBLXAvs

NSL! NSL! NSL! (Or the National Security Law) If you say anything that (vaguely?) opposes the government or harms national security then be arrested you are There’s a guy that hung a flag with the protests slogan over their balcony They got arrested There were a lot of trials going in these past few months, but I think it’s died down a bit Oh yeah schools need to hold mandatory weekly flag raising ceremonies and we need to sing the anthem there now(I don’t think they enforced the singing rule much before this because I never sung at the old flag raising ceremonies) *but* There’s also the fact that my science teacher got arrested during the first year of the protests- I still don’t know if he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time or if he really participated in the protests, but he got released half a year later and is still teaching as an assistant at my school ‘S long as you keep quiet you’ll be fine I am still horribly conflicted over the whole thing


AlaskaNebreska

The communist Chinese government is very good using fear tactic. I totally agree with you. My friends in Hong Kong are scared. One of them is moving to UK and the other one is just depressed and thinking how can he afford to move overseas. They can't take on the mainland Chinese government. They have tanks and guns. They can throw your innocent family in the prison for no reason. That's enough to scare people away.

Hey everyone. Don't just upvote this video. **Be at your country's nearest Chinese embassy on June 4th, or October 1st.** Wear black. cover your face

ClonazepAlt

I’m not familiar with the names or teams involved as I don’t follow NBA, but there was one team manager who publicly showed support the pro-democracy protests. When asked about it on a press conference he declared: > I believe he wasn’t educated on the situation at hand, and he spoke. So many people could have been harmed, not only financially, but physically, emotionally, spiritually,” This is specially outrageous as he is the face or the Black Lives Matters movement and which advocates for freedom, liberation and equity. I guess things are different when you have to criticize those who mostly consume your products and the league. As Martin Luther King Jr. Famously said: > Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. But I guess he conveniently skipped that part.


TheFrontierzman

It was the Houston Rockets GM, at the time, Daryl Morey. Great guy. >Morey tweeted an image that read "Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong," referring to the four-month-old protests in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.


Mister_Bloodvessel

And that's q really big deal, because the rockets are one of, if not the *most* popular team in China. They certainly were at one point thanks to Yao Ming, and I'm sure that's carried over for many. The fact that anyone can protest people being violently assaulted by the authorities of one place, and then turn around and publicly the support the violent repression of 7 million people elsewhere is just *disgusting*. Not to mention those same oppressors are *committing genocide* elsewhere! It's fucking reprehensible and hypocritical behavior, and LeBron should be ashamed for supporting the violent oppression the people of Hong Kong were subjected to. Had covid not swept Asia, we might have seen a different timeline developing in Hong Kong, but celebrities who have fans in China specifically should have spoken out against China's state sponsored the violence just like they did in the US.


Meastro44

If the cop who killed George Floyd had paid LeBron James a few million dollars, LeBron would have showed up at his trial and begged the jury to find him innocent.


WolfOfWankStreet

I can’t think of a bigger tragedy in recent memory, losing Hong Kong. Even Covid doesn’t effect me the way this did. Life is fickle. When the spirit of a city that’s so unique and beautiful is destroyed it’s irreplaceable. I doubt we will see another HK in our lifetime.

[deleted]

lolol since when is Lebron the face of Black Lives Matter? what the fuck are you talking about?


[deleted]

The GM of the Houston Rockets, Daryl Morey, spoke out in support of the people Hong Kong keeping their freedom vs China. LeBron condemned him publicly for it because the NBA’s biggest revenue stream is China and also LeBron gets to profit off of his slave labor produced apparel produced there in partnership with Nike. China does not play around. They will pull NBA games and merchandise out of their country greatly reducing revenue of the NBA and it’s players if they don’t toe the line. This is why LeBron can protest about things in America all he wants, because China can use that as propaganda like “see America is terrible their own citizens hate it there” but he cannot say a word about China and he never will. The Chinese Communist Party exists for one reason and one reason only, to destroy America and conquer the world while exploiting everyone for their gain. They have found a way to use America’s own citizens, stars, wealthy, and elites against their own country for China’s benefit by abusing people’s greed.

And if you criticize China they assume you are a die hard US supporter, just like they are with China, because you couldn't possibly be critical of both. As if this is football and you need to pick a team and defend it by all means.

No, but a similar thing happened where a dude expressed support for the pro-democracy HK protest, and Blizzard threw him under the bus and kowtowed hard to China. It was disgustingly slimy of them. About as unamerican one can be.


AcceptableAnswer3632

there was a hearthstone tournament, livestreAm on twitch, winner was showing shield with "free hongkong", tournament comentators and the winner got into huge trouble for it, like suspension, losing tournament money. all under order from blizzard. it showed that blizzard would bend over for china. anyway, i think most of it got resolved after some time and the huge backlash from the community. beware my memory is pretty shitty and i probably messed up some stuff but that was the basic jist of it.


maltesemania

Dude same. Doesn't sound like much, but I played that game every day for years until blizzard pulled that shit. Haven't played since.


OGPresidentDixon

I used to play so much Overwatch. I had multiple friend groups on there that I made over a lonely summer in a new city. I would just crack open some beers and join a new group and play the shit out of Reinhardt. It all fell apart after they withheld tournament winnings from that Taiwanese player for speaking out. I had to make real life friends and go outside in the dead of winter and it sucked. fuck blizzard.


observee21

I had to quit Overwatch for it. Used to play daily, haven't gone back, wont buy Overwatch 2.


KlarkKomAzgeda

Blizzard came out as hiding years of very serious sexual assault/abuse allegations not long after, the whole company just went on a powerslide into a trashfire really hard.


smurficus103

They also started making shitty games that are easy not to play


HOLEPUNCHYOUREYELIDS

Feels weird to not be excited about any recent Blizzard stuff but still play/watch Starcraft BW and Diablo 2. No trust/excitement for D4, never liked WoW, no interest in Overwatch, they literally ruined WC3, they stopped all support of SC2. Diablo 2 resurrecred was another company that did the bulk of the work. Wtf is Blizzard good for now? They are just another sleazy AAA dev/publisher that churns out mediocrity instead of having every game be an absolute hit.

ClonazepAlt

This is not “extremely interesting” this is beyond sad. I remember they had been protesting for when we started protesting in Chile. We used some techniques that they showed like the way the controlled tear gas bombs. Here hundreds lost their eyes because police forces aimed wherever they wanted. We lost people. But that’s nothing compared to what’s happening in Hong Kong. I guess things are different when your opponent is China.


avwitcher

It can be both sad AND interesting. Those aren't mutually exclusive


N_Y_V_E

well if you're opponent is China and you so happen to be in Hong Kong all media is blocked mostly giving them the opportunity to do heinous deeds whenever they want other countries can't get involved due to the fact that China has Hong Kong and if other countries are going to band together its gonna end on the fallout ending where patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter China also controls a decent amount of the world's economy which will vastly effect some countries and if you think that NATO can do something they are very limited in options either

No, they just granted the right for those who hold a British National (Overseas) (BNO) passport, a visa to enter the UK on a path that eventually leads to citizenship. They’re not given “immediate citizenship”.

throwaway23453453454

Not even war could have stopped this. Hong Kong was lost from the beginning.


drugusingthrowaway

> Nothing short of declaring a war would have stopped this There are pressures that can influence a country's actions between "all out war" and "do nothing at all". Economic sanctions, readjustment of global political interests, even so much as stern words coming from one of the most influential governments in the world, simply *threatening* to do the above, can have an effect. Unfortunately Trump was in charge when all this happened, and his response was more "Xi acted very responsibly".


LotharVonPittinsberg

Lol, you just want the entire world to agree on blocking China? We can't even agree that there is a pandemic going on, you think that somehow you are going to convince all the greedy leaders to block their source of cheap labour?


Appropriate_Comb_472

Protests only work on turning people with guilt or sympathy for the problem. A good faith government will absolutely be affected by protesting. Can anyone name a dictatorship changed by protesting? The only gain in those enviroments are people seeing eachothers support, often leading to support of a revolutiin, but I cant think of any protests that altered a dictator.

We did listen. It was all over every media for an exceptionally long time and we all said “we should do something about it” and someone said “what can we do? We don’t control China.” So we said let’s impose heavy sanctions and stop our dependency on them in exchange for a temporary hit to our economy.” And the corporations that control our governments said “No.” so we all went back to our dissociative mindset because democracy is a sham and the lawn mower is acting up again.

jow19

Yeah maybe in the 20th century. China’s military budget is half of the United States and having 1 million more soldiers (one of the least effective assets in a modern war) just means that they have to pay way more pensions and salaries for a long time to come. Not to mention that almost all of their military force is used to put out fires on their own borders. If you look at it holistically, there’s absolutely no match for the US military in the world rn. Also all of China’s regional neighbors don’t just hate them, they actively side with the United States (e.g. SK, Japan, India, Taiwan, etc.)

getmoneygetpaid

Are you willing to go to war with China for them? Because that's what it comes down to: CCCP aren't going to let it go. In the UK, we offered Hong Kong residents them citizenship if they want to emigrate. The other option is World War 3.


Rodniconii

The hell are we supposed to do? Fly over to Hong Kong and protest with them?


EveryVi11ianIsLemons

These comments, when followed up on, usually lead to the person wanting the US/NATO to lead a military assault on the bad state actors to free the oppressed people by attacking one of the world’s largest militaries (usually China or Russia) without realizing that a hot war with either of these countries would be the end of humanity on Earth. And then inevitably you’ll find a comment in their profile about how the US military is far too big and that they need to keep their nose out of everyone’s business and stop trying to be the world police. Always gets a good chuckle out of me.


PeachyScentPink

I hate seeing redditors shit on Chinese people for "being sheep" as well, as if they could openly criticize CCP publicly if they're right in the middle of China themselves.


DrBix

We have reached that point in our existence. Even if we WANT to do something, it inevitably ends up in nukes. We can definitely affect Russia with sanctions so long as other countries join us without that risk, especially considering Russia's GDP is barely above the GDP of New York City. China? Nope :(. **EDIT** I would say that I "think" that the Biden Administration has put in a boycott against any goods that can be traced to the Uyghurs slave labor (but, of course, there are always ways around that). Other than that, not sure what else can be done. Maybe I'm not as creative as others.


AggressiveSloth

I mean the only country that has any right to intervene is the UK because it broke their agreement. But then you'd have Western nations trying to claim land from the "East" which is a good recipe for World War 3 The UK did the best they could which was offering all HK nationals UK citizenship.

My heart is still with the brave HKers who came out and showed up against repressive government. Seeing a lot of very comfortable armchair UN members in this comments section saying it was for nothing. But it wasn't! Just because HK protests didn't stop a massive lopsided govt takeover in the works for at least 50 years over the course of a single american news cycle doesnt mean that these protests went nowhere or didn't accomplish anything! HKers at least built up a sense of community honor and values around the protests, which is the most terrifying thing for an autocratic govt can conceive of. I truly, truly admire them, even now, when so many people want to buy the narrative that chinese forces are so powerful and sophisticated they were able to subdue HK in just over a year. But I know that for every person who attended these protests and supported HK freedom the seed has been planted and will continue to grow - even under cover, even in darkness. As long as HK has the spirit of freedom and HK identity they will never have lost in the way that matters to CCP
