US alone takes the shares of 71% Population, 76% GDP and 86% Military Spending. Anglosphere isn't a partnership company but more like a company with a boss who allows his employees to have small shares of the company for incentive purpose. At the end of WW2, the British empire was still intact. Its major problem was financial. It owed too many debts to US for the war. I was just wondering if it would be possible that the British empire might be saved if Canada and Australia didn't sway away from UK to serve their new master US after WW2. British wouldn't need US to save the day if it realized who was the real threat and took politically incorrect but appropriate measures.

The King wasn't only a symbol then.....

Rue my friend, you wrote a lot and assumed too much. I have told you before that you need to provide proofs to support your allegation. For example, Canadian police even shot people in his home when the officer felt being threatened. Canadian police officer even shoots his fellow officer....LOL You said Canadian police never shot a rioter by a gun. But you need provide that your so-called rioter is the same as the mob rioter whom the HK officer was dealing with. If your so-called Canadian rioter is just as civilized as this, I doubt HK police would even bother to do anything upon her: You need to understand that what kind of weapon a police officer is suppose to use depends on what kind of threat he is dealing with. In the third video above, the woman didn't carry any weapon and didn't attack police, so tear gas is supposed a proper method (I suppose she still violated law by performing an unpermitted rally like those so-called peaceful protesters in HK). In the first video, the police officer claimed the victim pointed a rife at him, so RCMP justified the police officer's action of using deadly force to stop him: I'm not sure if you are a novelist or even a poet because I find you are very good on writing long and emotion-filled articles but never tried to do some research to get some facts to support what you write in the article. For example, when you used "your government" on me you even didn't know or do any research on the political-system difference between China mainland and HK. I suggest you to do the research from Carrie Lam first if you want, to find under which country's rule she joined HK government; the law which she just used yesterday to get around legislative council to declare mask ban was made by which country and how absurd it is that you assume under this country's rule Hongkies still had any democracy since this country's governor had such kind of power; and when Carrie Lam gave up her which country's citizenship for running for HK's top official post.... I guess you may argue: but Carrie Lam used to bend to Beijing's will... For answering the question, I suppose you know this guy, know his country is an independent country and his presidency isn't appointed by China. So please consider: if this guy doesn't want to fight China, for the reason that China is a great power, why should Carrie Lam fight against China? What would be good for HK if she did so? I despise these protesters and mainstream media, not because they call themselves pro-democracy or pro-dictator, but because the ways they used to achieve their goals---lies, deceiving and violence against innocent people or those who don't agree with them. If you think the mainstream media only lie on things related to China or Russia you are wrong. They almost lie on everything. This is why you only find Trump supporters in Fox News audiences and Trump haters in CNN audiences. If they didn't lie, how could their audience be so divided?

Carrie Lam announced law to ban face masks in protests. I'm not sure it would work. Mobs don't fear laws, they just fear bullets. In the BBC video which police shot the mob, most mobs fled when police pointed gun to them. One mob even threw his steel stick onto ground. The mob who got the shot was the bravest, LOL, the most brainless one of them.

PLA on American Dodge, GMC CCKW 2.5 Ton Trucks and P-51 Mustangs in the first national day military parade on Oct 1, 1949.....I suppose Chairman Mao would not thank US for these gifts. Nowadays, some Chinese internet media joke that except soldiers, only those horses were made in China. Even these soldiers' uniforms were also made in USA. It's also very interesting to see PLA's modernization via the national day parades: On Oct. 1, 1954, made-in-USSR replaced made-in-USA Oct 1, 1959, most equipment were made-in-China On Oct. 1, 1969, during the Great Cultural Revolution, unarmed PLA soldiers waving Chairman Mao's red books marched along Chang An Street. This must be the most peaceful military parade in human history....LOL Oct 1, 1984, Beijing city was covered by thick fog and clouds. An officer of US military attache in Beijing prematurely told CNN kind that PLAAF wouldn't appear in sky since its aircraft were too technologically backward. An hour later, the whole world astonishingly saw PLAAF's old J-7 (Chinese non radar version of MiG-21) and other planes flew though thick fogs over Tian An Men square.....Years later, A PLA officer revealed that the US officer wasn't mistaken on PLAAF's ability but due to some sheer luck, PLAAF found a clear gap between two layers of clouds and flew through it. Oct 1, 1999, after being neglected for 14 years during Deng Xiaopine's rule, PLA only had a few new weapons to show the public. Oct 1, 2009, dawn of PLA's modernization July 30, 2017, PLA's 90 years birthday parade Oct. 1, 2019, the latest national day parade

Meanwhile, Beijing was catching fire too..........just in different ways...LOL But these mob protesters won't see this. Though they have freedom to see different points of view to compare which kind of fire is better, but they just refuse to use it. This is why democracy and freedom have failed in many places in the world.

Finally a mob protester got shot by police. In the BBC's video, a group of mobs chased a police officer, pinned him on the ground and beat him by long steel bars. Then two riot police officers arrived and drew their guns. It seems like the officers didn't intend to fire the gun but only to deter the mobs. But one idiotic mob waved his steel bar and hit an officer's right arm which hold the gun then the gun misfired and hit the mob's chest. This morning when I watched the BBC video clip, it contained a slow motion video clip. It clearly showed that the mob's steel bar hit the officer's arm first and resulted the gun misfired. But this evening when I come back home, BBC has already edited off the slow motion part so viewers couldn't see clearly that it was the mob who triggered the gun and got himself a shot. But the original video has already been downloaded by many Youtubers, so someone re-uploaded it again: From BBC's original 10X slow motion video, you can clear see the steel bar hit the officer's arm first then the gun fired a split second later. This morning, for a time being, I and other many viewers of BBC thought that mainstream media had finally stopped broadcasting fake news... Anyway, BBC's video is still more truthful than Global News's. Global News intentionally blurred the muzzle of the gun so viewers couldn't see when the gun was fired. Global News also edited off the mobs beating a police officer scene, so to make mobs look more like "pro-democracy protesters".....

September 29 Weekend Routine Masked International Black-shirt Brigades...I have to admit, without the violent part, watching these protesters is quite entertaining...LOL I mean, stupidity sometimes entertains people... Black shirts mob: I'm true Hongkie White shirts mob: I'm true Hongkie Panda: I'm black and white shirt, I represent both of you....LOL

Maybe you should go to US and teach their police how to treat their citizens who don't obey police officers' orders. The Hongkie protesters are just like some spoiled kids who smash their old Xbox 360 consoles when their dads refuse to buy brand new Xbox One consoles for them...

Unbelievable! Finally mob protesters have achieved something... "Hotel rates cheaper than flat rents in Hong Kong" This is why the number of protesters has significantly dropped from 2 million wich media claimed earlier to a few thousands recently. Probably they all have moved from their cage homes to luxury hotel suits and forget to go on streets....LOL Protester's press conference: If Carrie Lam refuse to agree our demands, we will stage a big show for the National Day of P.R.China, which is Oct. 1. It seems like these idiots really think the central government will pay the bill for repairing all the public and private properties which they destroyed. And the media they used to watch probably never cover what Xi Jinping has been doing recently.... The world's largest airport inaugurated in my home city Beijing a few days ago. I don't know why Xi rode a subway car to attend the airport inauguration ceremony. Maybe he did care the situation of HK more than he wanted to show to Chinese public, so he wanted to send a message to Hongkies: We are building new subways and airports meanwhile you are destroying yours. How stupid you are...LOL

Continually using personal attacks on me won't help you to make a credible argument. But still thank you for providing the prologue of the event. From the video you provided, I see the old man had some kinds of quarrels with the protesters at the beginning. Then he chased one or more protesters to the middle of the street. He waved a whine bottle but not used it attacking protesters. At 0:32, a protester threw something on him then fled. Then the man chased the protester around street. At 0:17, the old man race to the right side of the video picture then turned to left and was blocked by a group of protesters. Obvious he was not against all protesters but just chasing a particular protester who probably had thrown something on him prior the video took place. So what difference could your video make? The man was attacked later by young mob protesters who equipped with long steel bars. What he only had was the bottle in his hand and we don't see he used it attacking anyone. In the video I posted, until he was knocked down by mob protesters, the bottle was still in his hand. Probably he was a drinker just coming out a bear store, who knows. Obviously the old man wasn't a mob, because not only he is too old to fight these young men, but also a whine bottle isn't a good weapon for fight--even James Bond can't use glass against a mob with long stick:

There are still some darkest spots on HK's glorious moment....LOL....There is still light in HK's darkest hour It seems like some young volunteers stand out to clean up the mess left by protesters But even these volunteers are under attack by radical protesters

HK opposite politican Chan Fang On-sang was interviewed by BBC

Another glorious weekend for Hongkies Before and after singing Glory to Hong Kong

There are thousands of mob protesters. Do you think all of them are undercover cops? If the mobs were undercover police officers, why would so-called peaceful protesters and the opposite party leaders always demand government to pardon them but send them to prison? If they were undercover cops, I suppose you would be happy to see riot police beating them. But since it seems like you are not happy with riot police's action, I suppose these mobs are not undercover cops but true protesters.

A Thailand insecticide ad has been turned into a parody to reflect current events in HK by pro-police Hongkies. The plot of the parody: A woman comes back home with her kid and finds 3 曱甴, which means cockroach in Cantonese but also refers to mob protesters recently by pro-government Hongkies, in her kitchen. The cockroaches pick up 3 molotov cocktail bottles with labels of power, violence and political-correctness and demand her to revoke the bill. The woman hastily picks up a spray with Fresh Air label on it, which represents "cancel the bill", but gets jeered by cockroaches. "Are you trying to reason with them?" The kid questions his mom. Then the woman takes out an insecticide spray which represents "enforce law", and cockroaches die.

At least eight passengers were injured when an MTR train derailed in Hong Kong on September 17, 2019, leading to a service suspension on the East Rail Line. So far there is no way to tell what is the cause of the incident. But previously protesters were found throwing debris on railways to stop train. Protesters have created their anthem: Glory to Hong Kong. Considering all these violence caused by their fellow mob protesters in their home city, it is obvious that different people have different views on what is glory and what is shameless.

An idiotic mob protester misfired a molotov cocktail and burnt his black shirt accomplice.

This girl is the vice president of the Student Union of Hong Kong Baptist University. But in this video, her IQ seemingly doesn't match her title. I think anyone whose IQ is above a kid's level knows it is normal that international passengers' belongings get checked by customs. I can't see why she felt angry with Australian customs officers. Did she really think she should be treated like a queen just because she was a protester? And she believed that her, a Hongkie's freedom of traveling to Australia should be protected by Aussie's constitution? If it was true, what would be the use of customs?

Comparing the activity and tactics of HK protesters with Nazi's doesn't mean I claim them Nazis. For example, in a post above I compared a PLA Navy type 052C destroyer with US Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and mentioned the similarity of their design. But it doesn't mean I thought they were the same things. In another post, I said "UK and American submariners copied Nazi submarine tactics so good that Hitler's successor Grand Admiral Karl Donitz was able to use it to get rid of some war crime charges in Nuremberg Trails", which doesn't mean I though British or US were Nazis. As for your accusations against China, you need to present proof or reasonable argument to support them. The launder things for example: If all HK citizens hated CCP as you believed, why would CCP officials use HK to launder their money? Would it be too risky to get their unlawful activity leaked and exposed by some insiders?

When a problem is related with economy, usually there isn't an easy fix. I have just joked on YouTube at a CBC news Pharma industry challenges Trudeau plan to lower drug prices: "Pharma industry challenges Trudeau plan to lower drug prices. Oil industry wants Trudeau to raise oil price but Trudeau tells them No because He can't.." If Trudeau or any Canadian PM has not power to manipulate drug price and oil price in Canada, HK government or CPC will also have no power to manipulate residential property price in HK. HK is just a small place where 800 million people are crammed in. Most of HK territory is filled with hills, so the habitable area even far smaller than its geographic area. Unless HK government builds thousands of 300 floors residential skyscrapers, there is no way to improve the living conditions of HK citizens.

Hundreds of Staff of Queen Mary Hospital Protesting inside their hospital on Sep 2, 2019

Thousands of Hong Kong school pupils boycott classes, join protests The editor of Chinese state-owned tabloid Global Times Hu Xijin recently visited HK and upload a video of his tour. In the video, he showed homes of some HK residents who he visited and speculate that the hardness of over 1 million poor people's living especially housing conditions might be the root cause of the protests. In the video he said he visited a family whose 3 bed rooms apartment home was only 50 square meters (538 square feet). The largest bed room was 5 square meters (53.8 square feet) . Another family hadn't kids, so their home was a one room unit, which meat everything, kitchen, bed room, living room was in that single room (like a bachelor unit in Canada?). In his video, the foyer and gym of the condo building looked modernized and very nice, but inside of the units of its residents were really miserable. Another building he visited was about 40 years old. Three families lived in a unit about 70 square meters (753 square feet), the smallest area of a family was only 6 to 7 square meters (64 to 75 square feet). Each family had their own kitchen if you called it kitchen since it only had 2 square meters area and toilet was just by the stove. He said his tour guide told him there were about 1 million HK residents lived on such condition. I'm not sure if his speculation was correct. But if I lived in such kind of home, I would definitely prefer staying on street rather than staying at home on weekends.

I'm not only listening what people say but also watch what they do. Usually people's action not their rhetoric shows what they truly are. As for propaganda, most video I post here are from CNN, BBC, CBC, Global News....and even VOA. I'm just questioning why these propagandists' audio stories are not accordant with what I see in their video. Definition of Propaganda: What Global News' reporters and editors did on that fake news video is definitely accordance with the definition of propaganda. And if you read the comments under the Global fake news, you would find they had pathetically fooled no one. Of course you could claim that everyone commented there was a Chinese propagandist, but it would embarrass Global News more because it sounds like nobody watches their video except Chinese propagandists....LOL

But in Global News, the source video of mob protesters sabotaging subway trains and attacking passengers is deliberately edited off and entitled with "Hong Kong police seen on video targeting commuters with batons and pepper spray", though some of these so-called "commuters" have forgotten taking off their black mob masks. Of course, what these mobs have done you will never seen from mainstream media: At 0:31 of the above CNA news video, you can see the LED display on the ceiling of the subway station showed "Serious Situation, Evacuate Immediately" and you can see mobs were crashing everything include that display with long steel bars. Do you think any commuter who had normal IQ would still stay in the station and train when police arrived. Even at 0:13 of the Global News video, you can also see the so-called "commuters" using umbrellas to resist police officers entering train cars. What kind of "commuters" would do such thing?
