    Yet among all the chaos, you don't see any people jumping on cars, breaking into stores & looting, & lighting cars on fires. American riots are so different. We truly are a violent nation. It's no wonder why there is so much school shootings here.

    Referring to my previous comments, I like to elaborate further the proposed extradition bill that triggered the so called "pro-democracy" protest, actually included Taiwan, Macau and China, the only three places where Hong Kong has no extradition treaty in the world. That's how this Hong Kong man managed to murder his pregnant girlfriend in Taiwan, and escaped death by escaping back to Hong Kong ! The proposed bill grant extradition only if the same crime is also punishable under existing Hong Kong legislation, in jail term of 7 years or more. This is very serious crime against humanity. Your reporting distorts, inflame, generate hate against China, and encourage criminals harbouring in Hong Kong ?

    刚翻墙不久，终于明白了为什么要有这堵墙，要是没有这堵墙，中国应该和叙利亚伊拉克一样，早就被欧美搅和一团糟了。

    YouTube上有那么多关于64事件的分析，大部分的可靠资料都证明那是一场外部势力参与的反动暴乱，死亡人数也是统计出100-200人左右，其中还有很多被暴徒烧死的士兵。任何一个国家都不会允许暴乱发生。可是对于西方国家的人来说，中国镇压暴乱就是无人权！双标准是西方人的典型特点。

    所谓民主，只要不是西方人的民主，那就是专政？我很好奇，我在想如果中国一开始就走西方社会道路，我们现在会不会和印度差不多？活在一个卑微的民主社会中？治理14亿人口的国家唉，不是你一个西方屁民的一句话能决定的。

    西方人嘴边长挂，中国计划生育是反人权的。这种表述多么的可怕？要是按照当时的中国，如果不计划生育，现在中国20亿人口有了吧(假如不被饿死)？试问，养活这么多人可能吗？让这么多人奔小康可能吗？西方所谓的人权就是任由孩童出生在苦难中吗？西方这群屁民根本不去思考，但凡有脑袋的都知道控制人口才是中国人取得发展的关键。再说现在不是开放了二胎三胎了吗？这不就说明了中ÃÃ

    ABC , you are protecting the criminals in Hong Kong by demonise China and mislead people. China can be brutal and please do not be antagonistic, you are not the one who will face the China central government. The west, spearheaded by USA and Britian have used Gullible people as sacrificial lamb for political purpose. I fear for these innocent young people who are clearly misled, may pay for the ultimate price.

    ABC, shame on you, you call it "Pro-democracy protest ' ! This people protesting about a proposed bill to allow extradition of people from Hong Kong who have committed a crime in another country including China, only if the crime is also punishable under existing Hong Kong legislation exceeding 2 years jail term. Did you know that what triggered this bill was because of a Hong Kong man murdered and dismembered his pregnant girl friend in Taiwan, and escaped back to Hong Kong. Taiwan cannot request extradition due to lack of extradition agreement. Hong Kong ended up charging this person with some misdemeanour because the murder wasn't committed in the territory and got off with few months of jail term. If the same crime is committed in Australia, the public will demand blood, come on, do your journalist duty fairly ! You need to sack the reporter, clearly superficial, bias, pretend to be knowledgeable and righteous.
