RE: Pro democracy landslide win in Hong Kong election - why are people still protesting?

in #hongkong5 years ago

China have always had their eyes on Taiwan. With the Presidential elections coming up in January things are getting a bit tense. Luckily, the oppposition pro China camp candidate who is running for President is bit of an idiot. He came out of nowhere to become the mayor of the second largest city last year. And is now running for President. Perfect puppet for the CCP. Many Taiwanese are worried if he wins, he will take Taiwna to a downward spiral, but on the other hands, many still can't foresee the danger. It will be an interesting two months in Taiwan.

Catching up a bit @livinguktaiwan, thank you for this reply to my question. I always appreciate the opportunity to “hear” from someone closer to the source of whatever might be of interest. My confidence and trust in what is reported as “truth” today is not very high …

”He came out of nowhere …”

Yes, it is a wonder people don’t seem to give this a second thought, but I believe it is very real. All over the world … We have a candidate for president here who also came out of nowhere. Surely just a coincidence, right? Right …

”… many still can't foresee the danger.”

Yes on this as well, so we have something in common, when comparing our two countries … 😉

For your sake, I hope the “interesting two months” ahead results in a sufficient number of your people “waking up” to the reality of what is at stake and subsequently making the right vote.
