joining the movement,

It is far yet the biggest movement for HK democratic progress yet, so I assumed every protestor is part of this movement.

we’ve got differing political perspectives.

This is referring to your response about Taiwan. I believe that Taiwan and its surrounding islands are part of China's territory, however, they have different legislative systems. I went to school in Mainland before I started Uni in America, and that's what people believe in mainland. One of my best friends is from Taipei, and she has different view that Taiwan is a separate country. We rarely talk about China and Taiwan affair becuase we love each other no matter where we are from. The important thing is we all share the same culture. I wish the best for HKers because there is no right or wrong on any political perspectives, and all protestors are putting their life in danger for their city and their people.

Thanks for your response. It's awesome to have someone as intelligent and understanding as you to join the movement. As those news can be greatly biased, it's very hard for the world to see what is happening right this moment and give fair opinion. Despite of different political perspectives, I still admire your courage and effort for everything you do for your people. I hope all arrested protestors receive the justice they deserve. Please stay safe.

Few questions after reading this post and some news: 1. The extradition law and related case: I understand that many Hong Kong citizens don't want to be victims of mainland "alleged" crime. But if the girl got killed in Taiwan is your family or friend, don't you want justice for her? As far as I read from internet, HK police can only prosecute the suspect with crime such as stealing personal property ( the suspect stole his girlfriend's camera and credit card)

  1. Mainland has "stricter" laws and regulation: if you, a HK citizen travel to another region, is it reasonable to assume that you would study local regulation to avoid any trouble? For example, it's illegal to drink alcohol if you're under 21, and it's illegal to drink in public places in america. But you don't have these rules in China. Can someone say America has stricter laws than China? Of course not becuase they are not comparable at same aspect. My question is, for a normal average Joe who is a HK citizen with good faith, why extradition law matters? Do HK people really want other criminals flee to HK to avoid being convicted by Taiwan and Mainland government? Are protestors concerned that those criminals would endanger the HK public?

  2. Is there any association with Taiwan independence advocates and HK protestors? Have you thought about conspiracy between Taiwan and other countries to utilize this protest to divide China as one country?
