Such a terrible news… I read some news that some tourist were affected too. This is very worrying. We were supposed to visit Hong Kong next month. I hope this will end soon…

The Chinese govt has been planning to clamp on the protest riot. It may hv started by the HK ppl, but had since been used as an excuse to riot & by foreign influencers. The Chinese govt let it roll & let the rats run out thinking as foreign influence (with funds to support) they can change or push Chinese rule out. What were they thinking? There’s no turning back.
I only wished the Chinese govt do more for the HKgers in terms of housing conditions & economy.
Now, thinking once the police act to round up these thugs & all, and close airport, nobody can escape arrests. Not even those trying to head to ShenZhen. Truly no escape. Just show how throughly the police fr both HK & PRC had planned it. Just wished the police are not so brutal. I can’t look. -
The biggest concern for many in the city is that China will eventually use force to restore order. Such a move would undermine the “one country, two systems” principle that has underpinned Hong Kong’s success since 1997, and potentially lead to a crippling withdrawal of special trading privileges by the U.S. On Monday, the Communist Party-backed Global Times reported that the Chinese People’s Armed Police have been assembling across the border in Shenzhen ahead of “apparent large-scale exercises.”

Without any extradicion law in place, the PRC can kill someone and then run back to mainland and nobody can do anything about it.

Cannot. Because China, being the Mr Nice Nice, actually unilaterally sends the fellow back to Hong Kong for trial without an extradition agreement with Hong Kong. But now... maybe China might just decide to do it by the book - no agreement, no sending to Hong Kong. Then those people in Hong Kong will know...

I wonder why the ‘normal’ people so worry of this extradition thingy…I looked the wikipedia…mentioned on " undermining the principle of "one country, two systems" and that it would take away their rights"… why leh? there should be many countries have that kind of agreement I suppose and now China wants to have also? or HK to date don’t have a single extradition law with any other countries ?
