Leaders of Hong Kong pro-democracy group Demosisto step down as security law passes
- Game over.shapesalad
- Yup game over for now. Of course it was always going to be tough, HK is part of China after all. We'll see what happens next.yuekit
- Hong Kong is more Western than all of Asia, it's only "part of China" on paper, we should support these people as our own brothersgrafician
- True, what I mean is China has all the leverage here and always did. But whether they can change minds of an entire generation of young people remains to seen.yuekit

Beijing has a plan to change Hong Kong – but can citizens fight back?
Even before Beijing gains complete control, “Global Hong Kong” has emerged and energised the local movement, and will evolve into a parallel structure detached from the establishment, a force of resistance Beijing cannot readily get rid of.
- was thinking of something similar today after the UK granted assylum/citizenship to 3 million natives of Hong Kong. There can still be a Hong Kong outside of_niko
- the old city, in the minds and efforts of its former citizens. A global, stateless state that exists beyond the streets and crumbling towers of the archipelago_niko

Good luck and goodbye, Hong Kong.- It's like the reverse of the Berlin Wall coming down.yuekit
- But keep in mind, HK never had a real democracy. This limits things even more but previous system already stacked the deck in favor of established interests.yuekit
- True. But I think now the "established interests" are more concerning than before. But what do I know - I just would like to go there again.Longcopylover
