The Hong Kong workers and peasants are the communist red army who seized victory in Peking. Beijing now has a rich emperor.

Dear Nick,

It is not funny to laugh at other people's pain.

I think you are mistaken. It's not laughter. China's Communist Party has capitalism to pay for imperial domination by one imperial leader. Its police and army serve that policy. The impetus for the old communist rebellion is seen in Hong Kong protests , even if Marxism is not in their thoughts.

On another topic, sovereign citizens in Australia would be standing on Aboriginal land or Amerindian land in US. If they accept tribal law they are not sovereign. If they reject the tribe their theory gets wobbly and they would have risked a bit of trouble from spear or tomahawk. One option is to get a group of sovereigns together and fight the tribe... like colonials setting up a federal authority over people who weren't in the sovereign group.

I truly fear some of the answers prove we are as a country not truly aware how bad things are
China has its new silk road dreams, it has colonised by economic loans and debt the Pacific and African nations
AC not seen the news? please read online news sites see China [as the link says] even warning its ex citizens now living abroad to toe their line
China, like Japan in the 1930,s is building towards its dream being the center of the world controlling everything

Dear Belly,

You have an odd way of expressing yourself but what you just said above hits the nail right on the head.

Maybe a good solution for the people of Hong Kong would be to migrate to Australia like the millions of Chinese who have already done so over the past several decades. Half the population of Sydney is Chinese so they would definitely feel at home there; and Melbourne is on its way to becoming a second Australian Chinese city so there's plenty of living space for them there as well. And of course it fits in well with ScuMo's plans for Australia having a Chinese future. It's a win-win situation for both the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese people.
