I'm posting this photo because 35 years later, people in China and Hong Kong can't. (lemmy.ml)

Wow that's crazy! I didn't know they did away with the two systems policy, I must be crazy, because I went there and it was clearly different in numerous ways from the rest of China. Weird!

I also wonder how many people were killed by police during those demonstrations, I know many Americans were killed and gravely injured by their police forces now and during BLM.

Additionally, if HK was such a good democracy beforehand, why did the "pro democracy" camp only have 29 seats out of possible 70 if they represented the majority of people in Hong Kong? Maybe in the US if we had a party that did away with right wingers and made housing more affordable that would be a good thing, it seems to have been working pretty well for HKers since.
